In the "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Jaime Lannister set the tone for the rest of the series by paralyzing Bran Stark and shoving him out of the window. From there onwards, Jaime Lannister's character evolved throughout the series, from resulting in a number of more deaths and loss of Jaime's hand.
Recently, Jaime Lannister actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau explained the evolution of his character and the immediate danger associated with loving a mad queen. Coster-Waldau, in an interview with the New York Times, explored the possibility of a "Game of Thrones" spin off and talked about his character's chemistry with Brienne.
Describing Season 6 as something involving "dramatic changes," Coster-Waldau explained how his character evolved to become just "Jaime Lannister" from a Kingsguard. He is made to deal with the religious uprising and the High Sparrow after leaving the King's Landing and it something that he is not prepared to deal with.
Coster-Waldau said that Jaime Lannister probably gave an intense, ambiguous look to Cersei in the final scene because he was still in shock. While his sister is telling the rest of the world to go to hell, the woman he loves has turned mad.
Characterizing his character's relationship with Brienne, Coster-Waldau explained how on the journey back to the King's Landings, Jaime Lannister has, for the first time, spent time with some other woman apart from his sister. While there is love, trust and attraction between them, two of them being together remains an impossible scenario.
The actor further joked about the possibility of a "Game of Thrones" spin-off. There could be a Jaime-based spin-offs wherein Jaime and Brienne live together or Jaime and Bronn hit the road. Coster-Waldau further said that he would love to do "The Heartslayer" spin off if it was a sitcom and has a laugh track.
With Cersei appointing herself as the successor to the Iron Throne, Season 7 is expected to kick off with Daenerys Targaryen rolls back into the town, according to Yahoo. Whether Jon Snow and his team would team up with Dany to attain peace or how would the remaining battle with the White Walkers take off still remains a mystery.
The following shows Coster-Waldau talk about his character:
