hes coming clean, heres the monologue from season 1 of him and ned stark talking. he vaguely spoke about it but when into detail with brienne




and heres him and king robert baratheon speaking on it



so as you can see, that shyt always kinda bothered him. Remember tywin asking him if it bothers him when people call him kingslayer and he was like "of course it does". then tywin hit him with "the lion doesnt concern himself with the opinion of the sheep"

but on this point I have to agree with Lord Stark's "you served him well when serving was safe" part.

One has to believe, the only reason Jamie had the balls to kill the mad king was because his father was at the gates doing his thug thizzle. Justice? Morality? I think thats the excuse he used to justify the attack, but its not what moved him to act.

What moved him to act was the fact that he was commanded to kill his father. He wasv either going to follow orders or be branded traitor and killed by one of his co-workers (at the Mad King's command)

Not really, most of that was morality. He stuck around and saved the city, Mad King gave him the option to collect his father's head, If Jaime was a coward and didn't give a shyt about what happened to KL, he could have dipped to meet his pops. If he was "honor bound" like the other KG he would have killed his father or let the Mad King burn the city to the ground.

@Ctdash I think @R.E.N. Spells Ren point makes more sense. Jamie saw his life was also at stake at had to make a choice. Morals...eh...the man pushed a kid off a ledge. Like, if this was Marg talking about killing someone, and repenting, I could kind of believe that cause she cares about the lil kids.

*The fact we all have different opinions of it, shows the true brilliance of the acting/story.*

Maybe I'd need a Jamie only story to see what his true character is *ye shrug*

His life wasn't really at stake once Tywin started sacking the city. All the hardcore KG were elsewhere and KL forces were all occupied with Tywin. During the sack Aerys tells Jaime to prove his loyalty was to collect his father's head and bring it back, then proceeds to give orders to his scorched-earth plan to his Hand. At this point only the Hand, Aerys and Jaime around. There's nobody to stop Jaime from running from his orders or to find his father and warn him of the plot.

Jaime instead goes out of his way and takes time to kill the Hand so the order to burn the city doesn't reach the other pyromancers and then he kills Aerys.

Letting KL burn down would have been way more beneficial to him. He wouldn't have to be KG anymore and he'd be next in line for Casterly Rock.

sorry guys i agree with @Ctdash

Jamie actively though about the innocent lives that woulda been lost and killed the Mad King before that coulda happened. He was double moved by the fact he had to choose between killing his dad and watching this happen or just killing one man. Jamie is a very "ends justify the means" kinda cat. The death of one person or one kid is better than hundreds of thousands dying.

Even beyond that, seeing Brandon and Rickard Stark burrning then thinking of that happening to people who are totally not involved in the "game". Prolly drove Jamie over the edge....







Still can't forgive what he did to Bran....or the sister fukking :scusthov:
