How I suspect their book story will play out: That is most likely a result of their intense fascination with their show version of her character. Then once that’s all over, Jaime has to get back to KL to die with Cersei, probably because they couldn’t bear to have him valonqar her, if I had to guess. So we reach Season 8, and they send Jaime off to battle the Night King (book plot point), decide they may as well finally have him get with Brienne (book plot point), after all they laid the groundwork for their relationship starting in Season 2. Brienne meanwhile did eventually find and serve Sansa (book plot point). They were clearly just keeping him around for the final fight against the Night King. Partly because he was a useful tool in the plot they invented for Cersei once she seized the throne in her own right, and partly because they didn’t have anything else relevant to the plot for him to do. No disagreements between Jaime and Cersei were allowed to be serious enough for him to actually break ties with her. They apparently found it easier to keep him from breaking up with her in order to make that believable, eliminating his discovery of her infidelity and leaving him in a state of arrested development with regard to their relationship that they only visited occasionally (in minor ways) when they needed some drama. This combined with the elimination of Jaime and Brienne’s post-Dance storyline meant that D&D were left to invent stories for both of them (although I wouldn’t be surprised if they both end up with Sansa), that did not include one another when they should have.Īs a result, Jaime was left to circle Cersei’s orbit, subservient to her storyline, for far longer than he should have. Game of Thrones overpowered Cersei for far longer than George will. Jaime & Brienne fight in the final battle against the Others.Brienne (maybe both of them) finds/helps Sansa.If I had to guess the Brienne and Jaime plot points that GRRM shared with D&D, they were probably: For that reason, I would be very surprised if the fight against the Others is wrapped as easily.
The Night King in the books is a mythical/historical figure, and I don’t think there will be one central defeatable character to stop the threat of the Others.I think it’s much more likely to be (f)Aegon. Cersei as final big bad in the books? Laughable.Their current Riverlands/Vale/wherever (Stoneheart?) arc was dropped.I think D&D are using GRRM’s plot points without any of his context, and sometimes with the wrong characters, and in the wrong order.īrienne and Jaime are hit by four massive deviations: Do I think it will end that way for Jaime and Brienne in the books? No.
