Yara went from an absolute badass sister to a... I don't know, coward? Ignorant person? (not saying it was poor writing, just saying it made me hate the character in no time.) | ||

Mostly, because he has more "modern" values than most folks in the show, and there's a strong hint of badassery. Really, there's little we've learned about him that's unattractive, and a lot that's very cool. He's bisexual, in favor of free love, and super chill except when snarking that the bad-badsicles. He's sexy, dresses snappily, and promotes civility and egalitarianism. He asked the only sensible questions during the trial. His greatest "flaws" are his overwhelming desire to kill Tywin and the Mountain, who are both certifiably Bad Dudes(TM). Oh, and we saw him fighting with a spear in the trailer and it looked awesome. | ||

And trial by combat ends when one sides dies, right? I don't see how Tyrion can ask his crippled brother to die for him...so if Jaime has the balls to volunteer, it's like saying a giant "fuck you" to dad and saying either both brothers live, or both die. I'm so excited for the rest of the reason. This actually sounds legit. Great theory. I'm buying it :D | ||

If Tyrion chooses first, he could actually name Jaime because then Cersei/Tywin are basically forced to choose a noob fighter because they can't very well kill both brothers and completely destroy House Lannister's bloodline. However, if Tyrion chooses second, fielding Jaime against a competent fighter would be suicide. Their fighter needs to he volunteering aswell, keep that in mind. I doubt many would volunteeringly fight Jamie, not that he is one handed but noone in kings landing would want to kill him. | ||

I would imagine his missing hand is pretty well known to anyone that would matter. What is in question though, is how good or bad is he with only his off-hand left. The only people who have any idea about that are Jaime and Bronn. | ||

I like something along the lines of "The Gods' hand of Justice" shortened to 'The Gods hand' or 'The Hand of Justice.' Seems like it fits a lot of innuendo into a little space. | ||

(I mean if you've been tortured and stuff, who wouldn't?). You'd think she'd atleast give it another shot, or try to understand the situation her brother was in. Talk about a 180 degree turn in a matter of seconds... Yara went from an absolute badass sister to a... I don't know, coward? Ignorant person? (not saying it was poor writing, just saying it made me hate the character in no time.) I thought the Iron Islanders ran from the dogs, which made them look a little silly/pathetic as well. And if she decided that there's not enough Theon left to be worth saving, she should have actually killed him instead of just declaring him dead. So yeah, taking the best fighters of her people on such a long journey for this half-assed rescue attempt seemed weird. | ||

Hasn't he shown us a lot of things: he is smart, handsome and deadly with finesse weapons. Most of all his dialogues are nothing short of excellent, and the lifestyle he leads seems to be very entertaining (travels around the world, beats up assholes, fucks like a bunny and collects wisdom). He is climbing to become my favorite character, kinda like Tyrion and Jaime would be combined. | ||

How fucking sad would it be if the Mountain just slaughtered him, damn I think I'd weep | ||
