I don’t like it because it’s cheap theatrics. We know that Bran shouldn’t care, he’s the three eyed raven. And playing up Jaimes fear requires us to ignore that.


How would Jaime react? What would have been believable? This was always going to be a major, uncomfortable moment for Jaime, regardless of what it is for Bran. Bad writing would be if Jaime just didn't care and his arrival created no tension whatsoever.

No, it’s cheap.

They build that scene so we’re supposed to be afraid for Jaime. Even when we know we shouldn’t.

So I was thinking, who was that dude that saved the mountain from dying after he crushed that spanish dudes skiull? Whatever he did, the mountain had blue face afterwards...just like the Night King. Was that same dude in King's Landing when the Targareans were there? Maybe he saved a Targarean who then went up north, and started building an army to return later. i.e. use the same magic to turn the dead into walkers.

ETA: Just realized my avatar looks like the night king

You do realize the night king was around during the first men? That was several millennia ago in the story line.

Logically, how should Jaime expect to be received?

Probably not since he doesn’t know any of their names

It’s not about Jaime, it’s about the show runners trying to get a rise out of the audience.

That’s the point.

That’s why it’s cheap.

Jaime: "FWIW, I meant for you to land
on your head...a quick death.
I did not intend to render you
a cripple."

Bran: "I am the 3ER. I see everything."

Jaime (nodding): "So you did, just not hard enough."
