'Game of Thrones' fan shares impressively detailed theory about Jaime and Cersei
Warning: Contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 5.
There are plenty of complex and difficult relationships in the Game of Thrones world. Jaime and Cersei Lannister, though, are on a whole other level.
They've gone from brother and sister who love each other in a very non-conventional way to brother and sister who hate each other but also still sleep together and then sort of love each other despite it all.
Luckily, Redditor DimensionsInTime has broken down their latest scene in spectacularly exhaustive detail.
Phew, that's a lot to unpack.
The most interesting bit, though, is the parallel between Cersei and Qyburn and the Mad King and Pycelle.
We know Game of Thrones is a show that loves its circularity. There have already seen parallels drawn between the Mad King's love of wildfire and Cersei's use of it to kill off her enemies last Season.
Now we have another parallel: just like the Mad King, Cersei only seems to have one person left that she trusts.
And it's not her brother.
Deep down, Jaime has probably been aware of this for awhile now.
Cersei's "don't ever betray me again" comment was just one more piece of evidence in a long, long line.
The question is, will it be enough to finally push him away from her?
