19. Jaime Vs Cersei: Rise Of The Valonqar
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Jaime Lannister is really a nice guy deep down, underneath all that “Kingslayer” stuff. I mean, once you take away the fact that he has the hots for his sister… and that stuff with Ned Stark being killed… and that other time when he…

okay you know what, he’s an a**hole, but he’s a relatively good one compared to a lot of other people on the show. Okay fine… maybe not even then, but we like Jaime for some reason so just run with it, alright?! Geez. Anyway, the fact that they’ve hinted so much at Jaime’s unwavering love for his sister throughout Season 6 is proof enough that the tides will turn against Cersei in Season 7. Jaime’s return to King’s Landing was not a pleasant one. Not only did he see the Citadel in ruins, he also watched his sister ascended to the Iron Throne, something she has feverishly desired since day one. The Kingslayer probably pieced together the fact that his third and final son is dead, meaning whatever remained of Cersei’s contorted ability to love and feel compassion went with up in ashes with the young king. Now a Mad Queen lusting for more power than the Iron Throne can possibly deliver, Cersei will isolate herself from Jaime as well, leaving the door open to the great “Valonqar” theory. Loosely translating to “younger brother”, Maggy the Frog’s prophecy states that the “Valonqar” will put an end to Cersei. While we’re assuming it’s either Tyrion or Arya who will take on the mantle, it’s only fitting that the only remaining person Cersei could ever truly love puts an end to her tyrannical reign of terror once and for all.
