Game Of Thrones Season 4: 10 Book Deviations We'd Love To See

2. Brienne In King's Landing

If there's any meeting we want to see more than Ramsay Snow and Joffrey, it's the two most important women in Jaime Lannister's life. In one corner of Cat Fight 2014, we have Cersei, Westeros' Mother of the Year (sponsored by the Cersei Lannister Foundation) thirteen years running. And in the other corner, there's the Maid of Tarth, the woman everyone keeps insisting is hideous but c'mon, you know you would.

But seriously, we can't think of a single person who would feel less at home in King's Landing than Brienne. Like honorable Ned Stark before her, Brienne is naive to a fault and wouldn't last a moment in the gaping jaws of the Westerosi capitol. In the books, her time in King's Landing is glossed over, but maybe the TV series could be a bit more liberal and show us some wacky shenanigans before Jaime sets her on her way. Maybe have the ever-jealous Cersei invite her brother's new favorite sidekick to a three-person dinner. Awkwardness (and by awkwardness, we mean hilarity) ensues. But chuckles isn't the ultimate goal here. Brienne and Cersei represent two conflicting aspects of Jaime's personality: on one hand, he was once an idealistic young knight trying to find his place in the world, like Brienne, but on the other (slightly more golden) hand, his service to the Mad King and years of ridicule as the Kingslayer has seen him adopt Cersei's narcissism, ambition, and flippant disregard for honour. Seeing these two ideals clash onscreen would be an interesting way to examine Jaime's character in the same way that Martin does in the novels. And if all else fails, at least we'll get the "Game of Thrones" version of this below.
