Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 134

What if it could be Arya that brings forth Lightbringer? She and Jon were always the closest of the Stark siblings and seemed to have the closest bond.

 

i've always had a sense there was something bigger in the story meant for jaime. characters really shouldn't greatly outlive their significance to the plot and jaime's main contribution to this point was slaying the mad king. and yet despite his integral contribution to the story taking place before the events of the show, he's been a focal point through its entirety and has undergone a change in character that would be pretty meaningless without a payoff. basically if he was just meant to die, if he didn't have a purpose greater than the one he'd already served, he prolly doesn't make it this far. i don't think him dying at the hands of cersei serves the story much, she's already done plenty. but him slaying the mad queen justifies his role, his character arc, and ties in to a general theme about the repetition of history.

 

i can definitely see that with needle

 

Was thinking it would be pretty damn crazy to see Needle end up being Lightbringer

 

In the show? When?

 

when she kills meryn trant

 

Ah that's right! I forgot about that. I thought it was just long hair but definitely a different face.

 

I stand corrected.

 

So do we think Arya will get Cersei? I imagine it will be her, Tyrion, or just a dragon coming in to eat her.

 

Probably Tyrion, if we take what the witch prophecied seriously. And, I mean, she's been so far.

 

Probably Jaime imo

 

I definitely think it will be Jaime. A tragic end to their incestuous love. And a repeat of the Kingslaying.

 

it could also be jamie and i think its looking that way.

 

Yeah, I suppose Jaime technically is her younger brother as well. Either way, I see them as being the front-runners.

 

They're definitely setting up Jaime to kill her. Their relationship set off pretty much every major plotline in the story (minus Dany and the White Walkers, obviously)

 

Oh wait, I forgot the prophecy:
“Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds,” she said. “And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”
“What is a valonqar? Some monster?” The golden girl did not like that foretelling. // “It’s High Valyrian, it means little brother.” She had asked Septa Saranella about the word, after Melara drowned.

i think jaime has to be the one to kill her in order to create the clearest divide between the two possible. absent that there's little basis for him being spared/not held accountable for all the things she's done. it also provides a payoff to his arc.

i dont know what tyrion would get out of killing cersei story-wise. the adversarial nature of their relationship is already well established and he's gone to great lengths to depose her. i dont think there's much catharsis to be had there, especially when we already got to see him kill tywin.

 

Plus he's got those tiny hands, he can't choke someone to death with those.

 

Also think it's kinda fitting that Jaime kills Cersei with his golden hand

 

Arya is going to kill Cersei.

 

I think it would be a cool mirroring of the mad king if Jamie kills cersei. Would still play off his "kingslayer (Queenslayer?) moniker. Also she burned the city down just as the Mad King wanted to. Arya would be just fine though as well.
