[Everything] This episode has been the greatest injustice of this series yet.
At the end of Spoils of War, I'm sure we were all expecting Jaime and Bronn to be captured by Team Dany, and then interesting developments with Tyrion would have ensued. It was the logical progression of his stupid charge.
Instead we got some BS about Bronn dragging him down river, away from the battle. Wtf? What an absolute WASTE of a perfectly good setup! Jaime now just goes back to being his dumb self and acing as Cersei's lap dog. If they had actually had him captured, he could have been used as ransom or whatever.
They took a tense cliffhanger moment and completely wasted it. This should have been a defining moment for Jaime's arc. Instead, they shrug it off as a non-issue.
What's even worse, is that the Olenna speech from a few episodes back was also completely wasted. She told Jaime that he was nothing more than Cersei's puppet to his face, and we expected him to see the light and change. Instead, what happens? Cersei makes up some lie about her being pregnant and Jaime falls back in line. Lapdog.
Pathetic.
