15. Jaime Needs A Hand

Game Of Thrones OMG
HBO

Jaime Lannister, Kingslayer, Kingsguard, one of the greatest warriors in Westeros. Things weren’t going so great for him when he was captured Robb Stark’s men, but before long he was being taken to King’s Landing by Brienne.

On the road they end up in a fight, and he's taken prisoner yet again by Locke. Jaime tries to bargain for his freedom with the promise of Lannister gold, and for a moment it looks as though a deal has been struck.

Ultimately though it’s Jaime himself that is struck, as Locke chops off his fighting hand, robbing him of his great fighting skills and making viewers feel sorry for a villain of the show, beginning the process of his character transformation.
