Okay, there's clearly something wrong with me.

Not only was I not particularly upset by the scene in GoT that's upset so many other people, but I also enjoyed the Buffy comic.

:sigh:

I think this house renovation business has had a bad effect my brain. :(

As a non-book reader the scene didn't really change my view of Show!Jaime. It didn't make me like him any more or less than I did before.

It could well be that after SR, nothing could ever hit me as hard again, though, plus I'm not so invested in Jaime as I was/am in Spike. For those who are, it is of course very different.

I have great empathy for the Jaime fans. I know how such a story turn hurt with Spike.

Frankly, it didn't change my general opinion of Jaime. Jaime has his decent moments, but he isn't a 'good' guy.

I'll be honest, as much as I freaking LOATHE Joffrey... I always thought something was way, way wrong with Jaime for being so wholly disconnected from his children. He seriously never gave a damn about his kids.

...Which is why one of my refrains has constantly been that if Jaime wants any redemption points he NEEDS to do something about protecting and taking care of Tommen and Tommen's kittens! It sounds funny, but I'm not joking.

Tommen has kittens?

Yes, it does seem odd that Jaime is so divorced (as it were) from his children. I suppose he would have to emotionally distance himself from them to some extent because he had to keep up the pretence that Robert was their father, but from what I've seen in the show (which is all I have to go on) he seems to have consigned them wholly over to Cersei in every way. He's focused on her to the exclusion of everything else. I wonder what will happen now that connection has been broken.

If it has.

Tommen has kittens?

In the novel Tommen has adorable kittens (Ser Pounce, Lady Whiskers, and Boots) that he dotes upon (of course in the novel he's like seven years old).

This is notable in Cersei's POV because it makes her remember/wonder why people (who are not her) were so disturbed by what Joffrey did at about the same age when Joffrey took it in his head to disembowel a living kitchen cat to see its kittens in utero.

... yeah. Non-sociopaths looked at that with horror.

Tommen dotes adorably on kittens v. Joffrey torturing them.

Gee, Cersei, why doesn't this bother you?!!

Well, they've let him keep one, which I suppose seems more reasonable for a 14 year old.

In the novel, Marg isn't sexual with Tommen but motherly...which is kind of what the kid needed.

Glad they kept Ser Pounce. That was one of the memorable things about Tommen.
