I have to say, Jaime losing the hand is a top 3 episode finish of the series so far.

Yeah, I loved the ending too. Last week was one of my favorite episodes in general. The Theon chase scene, Jamie's hand, small council scene, and Pod's antics were all highlights for me.

The writing was superior in this episode IMO. Great conversations throughout the whole hour.

Yeah, I don't think we ever differ on much. Except Crixus >>> Gannicus of course.

Why can episodes only be an hour long?
I'm so addicted to this shizz.

Ugh are you serious? What does his hand have to do with anything so far in the story? I havent read the books so maybe it leads into something down the road, but right now I really dont care. The guy has been a prisoner for the past 10 years it seems, so why the hell do I care about him losing a hand?

Jamie Lannister is arguably the greatest swordsman in Westeros and is a member of the Kingsguard.
Him losing his sword hand is very important.

That's fine if you don't really care for it, but I find it interesting as well. Jaime is famously arrogant and being one of the best swordsman in the world is what defined him as a person and allowed to be as cocky as he is. It will be really interesting to see how he handles the loss of his character defining trait. Perhaps he will just learn to fight as well with his left? Or maybe he will become bitter and lose his witty humor. Also interested to see how it affects his relationship with the rest of his family, especially Tyrion who is obviously handicapped himself.
Not to mention I think a lot of people were starting to like Jaime. Despite his badgering of Brienne, his time as a prisoner brought him down to earth and he started to show more humility. You could tell he started to like Brienne and it was obvious when he extended himself to save her when he had no reason to. It's a shame that the first time we see him do something kind for another person he loses perhaps the most important thing to him in the world.

Yup. Its the only thing that made him better than everyone else.

That and you know, the whole being the son of Tywin Lannister thing he has going for him. 
But I love the ever murky "grey" area so many of the characters are placed in on this show. The guy who chopped off Jamie's hand is supposed to be aligned with Robb Stark, thus by correlation a "good guy". However, after what he did to Jamie, how he baited him into mentioning how his dad would pay his weight in gold, you can't help but be infuriated with the guy.
If it hadn't already started to occur before, I definitely for see a character change coming in Jamie. Recently read an interview on Yahoo featuring the actor that plays Jamie. He made a lot of interesting points, but my favorite might have been...
| Quote: | Access: When Jaime and Brienne are fighting on the bridge before they are captured, was that the turning point for him - when he started to care about this woman? Before, he was intrigued by her...
Nikolaj: He was intrigued, but I think the fact that, in the beginning of the fight, he says, 'Well, this is interesting, 'cause if you're not gonna kill me, I'm gonna kill you.' He's so confident and the fact that he can't beat her, he tries, he can't and then she decides not to kill him. There's something about this woman or this human being that he doesn't get and it intrigues him. To be honest, I think Jaime is a very honorable man inside and I think he actually recognizes something in himself in Brienne, and it's kind of reawakened. But, I think the years spent in King's Landing, in that horrible place, has made him a very cynical human being and meeting someone who is almost naïve, but also, just as you said - earnest - is, even though he's not aware of it - and he's not, [and if he did], he would never admit it -- but it does touch something inside of him. |
LINK to the article if anyone wants to read it. Note, there aren't any spoilers as far as I could tell.

Getting back to the daenerys scene, I just think his reaction was inconsistent of his character. I'm not saying he wouldn't agree to it, I just think, like anything else she said, he'd mock her first because he doesn't respect her.
