How on earth can you say that if you haven't even bothered to read the dam books? You need to read the later books to see more about Jamie and understand his character. Don't go and dismiss him and think you are right just because you didn't like him at first or you thought he was too evil for redemption because really he is hardly the worst character in the books.

[Jesse Duperouzel]

^This. Jamie was a great baddy/badass, and now he's having a bit of redemption, which I think is excellent. He's become on of my favourite characters.

bullshit. nobody opens a car door for a woman because he thinks shes incapable of doing it herself. im all for chivalry im just responding to the feminist morons that stated chivalry is a bad thing for women. like its something evil men do to females. we come from small tribal societies where the men protected (often pregnant) mothers with little children from males from other tribes and wild animals. she can give the tribe children, a male cant. protect her, protect the tribe, protect your kin.

[masterplusmargarita]

There's a difference between medieval chivalry and not being an asshole. Medieval chivalry is the concept that women are so incapable of doing anything at all by themselves that men need to do everything for them, and problems with inequality in our society are largely holdovers from that mindset. Not being an asshole is the concept that, hey, sometimes women may need your help, or may feel good when you do them a small favour and you're willing to provide.

[TxC47]

yea chivalry is bad couldnt agree more. women and children first? fuck that. i wont give my place on a life boat to a woman and die in her place. remember that guy who attacked a bear with his bare hands that attacked his girlfriend while they were camping? very bad decision he should just have ran. odd noises in the night? let the wife go down stairs with a baseball bat to check it out, confront burglars. its cold outside and shes freezing? dont give her your jacket/pullover etc.

[nilesrock024]

Don't get me wrong, I understand his actions - in his place, with his views, they make perfect sense from a self-preservation standpoint at the very least.

But its still extremely evil.

I also understand that hes supposed to be less of a prick post-injury/in the presence of Brienne, but from what I've seen from the wiki he still hasn't done anything in the line of 'good' that would come even close to being on par with the evil of what he did to Bran (among others).

Redemption? Not seein it.

[masterplusmargarita]

I've read all of the books, and still don't think he's that good a person, but try to think of the whole "murdering a small child" thing this way: Cersei is the only person Jaime cares about except Jaime and maybe (BIG maybe) Tyrion. The child in question is the son of their biggest rival, and both him and Cersei'd probably be sentenced to death by Robert if the truth came out. Doesn't make his actions morally right in the slightest, but I think it makes them less evil when you think that way.

[Jazz Sama]

I don't like him the first time he was introduced.. pretending to be Reek when he's actually Ramsay but now he's just one of my favorite villain.. that treacherous, sadistic, bastard... The Boltons are amazing villains..

[narutobomb7]

"years to finish ice and fire"

[nilesrock024]

I have, and frankly, I stand by my statement - thanks to the wiki, I had already known about the whole 'I killed the mad king because he was a psychotic twat', so that was no surprise.

Seeing him be slightly less of a cunt to Brienne almost offset what a cunt he'd been thus far. Almost.

None of that does anything for me on the 'I tried to murder a small child because he caught me fucking my sister the queen'.

This is not the action of a 'decent guy who did bad things' as I've seen many claim.

[PieViolator]

I ldo, actually..

[Radiation2K]

Yeah they are, you see a lot of other things the show doesn't include.
