He took a long drink, and his eyes met hers as he swallowed. "That there is precious little I wouldn't do for love."

Although Jaime claims there are no men like him. Only him. I think Jorah gives him a run for his money in terms of justifying bad moves by pulling the Love Card. Hey, I pushed that kid out the window, because I wuv you. They're very convincing though. I actually buy that their motivation was Love, but that just makes love sound like something you might be better off without.

[mrstater]

There's this whole strange Jorah/Jaime (non-slashy) connection that intrigues me. They came to a draw in a tournament once, Jaime killed the father of the woman Jorah now loves and wants to put on the throne, and their approach to relationships is totally the same. I don't know where I'm going with that, except that I think it's very interesting and wonder if they'll all have some part to play together before the end--like when Tyrion gets them back to Westeros?

Seriously. In ASOIAF, I think you're better off with a politically-arranged marriage than actually getting with someone who "loves" you!

I wonder if they will as well. Tyrion better get over his angst re: his brother. That's the only person that actually cares about him! If Tyrion and Dany and Jorah come riding back into Westeros and Tyrion has Jorah kill Jaime or Dany has her dragons roast him, I'm going to be one PO'ed fangirl.

Why do they have to cast them with such handsome men? While I shipped these characters pre-GoT, I was no where near this teenish about my infatuation.

My fave scenario re: Jaime is that by this point Brienne will have joined TeamDany, and that she will somehow convince Daenerys/Tyrion to spare Jaime.

I don't actually know what Tyrion would do re: Jaime. He seems to both hate and love Jaime and repeatedly puts him out of his mind in confusion. His feelings can be strongly contrasted to his thoughts about Cersei and Tywin of course which are unambiguously vile.

I KNOW right?? Fucking Jorah... I always liked the character and found him very sympathetic and interesting but the TV show... uuunnf.

Though I must admit that I didn't find Jaime/NCW as attractive as I expected to, but seeing pics of him with the beard... omgsohot. Bearded Jaime is just better.

Yeah, agreed. He seems very conflicted about Jaime, and he does seemingly miss his brother. There's none of that conflict in regards to Cersei and Tywin. Hopefully that is a good sign.

Oh, I love everything about him, and I'm generally not into blonds. I love his big, broken nose and the moles on his cheek. I love that he's handsome but not exactly pretty. I feel like I've seen a picture of bearded!Jaime (maybe mrstater showed it to me?), but it must not have had an effect on me, because I can't remember it. I'm generally not into beards, so I'm a little concerned. But looking beaten down will probably just make

[mrstater]

It wasn't me, because I don't think I've seen bearded!Jaime. I think I mentioned bearded!Jaime before and you said you'd forgotten he had a beard. (Is his head shaved, too? I hope they don't go that drastic. Thankfully, the trend in this series seems to give people the opposite hair as in the books, LOL.)

Also: why do I not have a Jaime icon?!

[just_a_dram]

I think he has a shaved head, right? I hope they don't do that either. I'm dreading the whole hand thing too.

Also: why do I not have a Jaime icon?!

This MUST be rectified!

[mrstater]

I've been looking for Jaime icons, but no one's posted good ones lately. Need to have a trawl through old ones. Maybe tonight. That might make my tummy feel better.

[just_a_dram]

Pretty Jaime will absolutely make you feel better. I've actually found that there aren't that many great Jaime icons. The icon fangirls make oodles of Rob icons though.

It makes me smug to know what's coming. But that's just sick and wrong of me.

[mrstater]

Y no good Jaime icons, fangirls?

It makes me smug to know what's coming. But that's just sick and wrong of me.

As usual, I'm right there with you!

[just_a_dram]

Not that I dislike Robb! I just never connected with him or wanted his storyline to go in any particular direction.

Maybe we're both Greyjoys.

[mrstater]

No, same here. I connected far more with Theon.

[just_a_dram]

ADWD is going to kill you dead, I tell you.

[mrstater]

I'm really, really worried for Theon, given who captured him. :(

[just_a_dram]

I sort of want Theon to sit the throne. Theon and Sansa. Theon would like that, I think.

Sansa = ASOIAF bike.

[mrstater]

Doesn't Theon think about marrying her at one point in ACOK? As part of his plan for taking over Winterfell? Or am I making that up because I ship Sansa with any old (or young) penis?
