10 Stupidest Game Of Thrones Moments

Season seven was just horrible, and the primary reason was that every major character became invincible thanks to the padding of their plot armour.

Jaime charging towards Daenerys and Drogon was a stupid – but admirable - feat of bravery to end the war with a single move, but the way Bronn rescued him from being burned alive was insulting to everyone’s intelligence.

It was bad enough that Jaime’s body fell into an abyss after being knocked off only the shore, but the show required way too much suspension of disbelief in additionally asking you to accept him being able to swim or be carried to the surface with all his heavy armour on.

While it would have been equally inconceivable for any of Jaime’s armour to be removed, the showrunners would have at least demonstrated an awareness of weight if Bronn had taken off the shoulder pads or something equally as minimal.

Just anything would have been better than what we got.

Still, regardless of the implausible and ill-considered circumstances, Jaime's survival was mostly frustrating thanks to being an encapsulation of the show's sudden reliance on death fake-outs.
