4. Jaime and Cersei hash it out
Have we ever seen Jaime speak this frankly to his twin and lover Cersei, the woman for whom he pushed Bran out a window? He lays out the enormous odds against the Lannisters, then asks her what they’re even fighting for now that they’ve lost all of their children (not sure he was sold on her “a dynasty for us” line). And when Cersei snaps that she’s the queen of the seven kingdoms, he corrects her: “Three kingdoms at best.” He even gets her to discuss Tommen’s suicide — “he betrayed me,” Tommen’s mother responds. Ouch. Jaime’s a helluva fighter, but it’s clear he doesn’t share his twin’s hunger for power.
Best lines: Jaime: The Greyjoys? You invited the Greyjoys to King’s Landing.
Cersei: Well, not all of them
Jaime, staring at the massive fleet: Well, it looks like all of them.
