This week, we saw the preparation for the impending war, Jon revealing his identity to Dany, a lot of new or very old interactions, and Arya getting nude with Gendry in an episode called “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”. We also have a new writer this week. I’d like to welcome Johnny to the group. It’s great to have new perspectives on here. Please check out our podcast where we discuss this episode on Kenter At Your Own Risk<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Kent and each week, I will ask some questions that I hope don’t always have a clear cut answer and see what everybody’s opinions are. It’s a super simple concept. Since Chris T. and I do a podcast already called Kenter At Your Own Risk, we are spending the next 6 weeks going on and on about this show before we get back to our typical horror film conversations. If you like what we’re doing, share this with your friends. If you would like to get involved with the blog, please contact me at kent@9deuce.tv<\/a>. Any comments in bold type<\/strong> are made by me. Please enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Did this episode confirm that Jaime is going to die, in your opinion?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chris T.: \u00a0Jaime will die this season, but not necessarily in episode 3. Bronn needs to get to him and Tyrion before either die, or all of the tension from that subplot will be lost. (This Bronn subplot is really throwing wrenches into so many of my guesses. \u00a0I suppose that is a good thing. I even thought about Bronn showing up this week, but I have my doubts.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim: \u00a0He will die, and I do believe it is in this upcoming episode. \u00a0I believe that both during this last episode and the change of personality arc he has been in, it is solely for him to be remembered fondly. \u00a0This episode was just a kiss goodbye. (It felt like the final way to fulfill his quest from one of the most hated characters after episode one, to one of the more beloved ones.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raylene: By other show\u2019s themes he had his redemption episode and had a moral compass feel so he is a goner. I will even say Cersei herself kills him why not.  (Is he really a moral compass?  I\u2019m not even sure if he would crack the top 10 moral compasses still alive on the show.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris B.:  I don\u2019t think it necessarily confirmed it, but I think he is going to end up dying.  He\u2019s probably going to sacrifice himself to save either Tyrion or Brienne. (What about the possibility of sacrificing himself for Cersei?  I can\u2019t help but feel like that is a distinct possibility.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny: \u00a0I do believe Jaime has a high chance of dying Ep.3. Season 5 when Bronn asked Jaime in Dorne how he wants to bite the bullet, his response was \u201c In the arms of the women I love. \u201c I definitely feel that line there was a confirmation that it was either, of course, Cersei or who I think it is\u2026 Brienne. The one thing that makes me question that theory is the prophecy of Maggy The Frog where she says that Cersei is killed by her brother. What that could mean though is through labor with Cersei\u2019s newborn she may die. That way it\u2019s more of a poetic death from Jaimie rather than a literal knife to the heart or such\u2026 That or Jaime dies then Arya kills Cersei with Jamie’s face. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You and I are definitely on board with Arya being the one who kills Cersei. \u00a0I was trying to figure out what purpose Arya fills moving forward, and that is the best option that I can come up with. \u00a0I like the labor idea, but I like Arya using Jaime\u2019s face even better.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi:  I do think they set it up that he would die but I also think they may be making it too obvious and someone else major may go.   (Yeah, the more I thought about it, and then I rewatched it, they were practically hitting us over the head with Jaime\u2019s story.  Too obvious for this episode, at the very least, if ever.)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kent: \u00a0If I had answered this 5 days ago, I would say yes, 100%. \u00a0Now, I have had time to think about it. Jaime doesn\u2019t necessarily have to die. \u00a0Jaime still has a solid chance at being Cersei\u2019s Valonqar that was prophesied by Maggy. \u00a0In theory, he kills Cersei. There aren\u2019t a bunch of true threats to Jaime if he survives this battle. \u00a0Yes, Mountain, Qyburn, Euron, and perhaps others that I am forgetting could pose a threat, but I admit to liking his odds. \u00a0I am going out on a very stupid limb, one that cannot support my ego or my fat ass and say that I am lowering his death probability to only 40% and I will most likely fall like Bran did at the expense of Jaime.

2.  If you had to pick a man for Brienne of Tarth, or Ser Brienne now, would you pick Jaime or Tormund?  Also, feel free to discuss Tormund\u2019s great story about milk.
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chris T.:  Tormund all the way. As my wife and I watched that scene and burst out laughing at the story and everyone’s responses to it, she looked at me and said, \u201cI bet that they didn’t let anyone other than Tormund read his lines in that scene, to get realistic responses\u201d, and I have to agree with her.  (Yup, I agree.  As you know, I compare it to the lineup scene in The Usual Suspects for that very reason.  We talked about this on this week\u2019s episode of Kenter At Your Own Risk.)<\/strong>
