Yeah D&D. You guys take a few weeks off and think about the shit show you just signed your name to. Take all the fucking time you need.

I had a lot of problems with the D&D storytelling, too.

So, I'm guessing Cersei will name/appoint Jamie to her Queensguard. What do you think?

Hard for her to do that after he kills her.

Targ line: Jon and Dany
Barratheon line: extinguished but for Mia and gendry.
What females are still left of either line?

Well, you can find Targ blood in the Arryns via the marriage of Daella Targaryen and the unnamed Lord Arryn to produce children. House Plumm & House Longwater also have Targaryen blood through Elaena Targaryen and her multiple husbands including Ossifer Plumm and Alyn Velaryon. Around 197 AC (~100 years before season1/book1) a different Daenerys Targaryen was wed to Maron Martell putting Targaryen blood within the Martell lines as well.

as for the Baratheons, their blood still exists in House Swann (Kelyce Baratheon & Allos Swann), House Brownhill (Cassandra Baratheon & Walter Brownhill), House Rowan (Floris Baratheon & Thaddeus Rowan), House Blackwood (Ellyn Baratheon & Benjicot Blackwood), House Lannister (Elyanna Baratheon & Mathin Lannister), and House Crakehall (Lyria Baratheon & Garen Crakehall).

so while the names might be dead and gone, the 'lines' most certainly are not extinguished.

D&D are simply not great story tellers when compared to GRRM. as for Jaime, i doubt it. Cersei would see her feelings for Jaime as a weakness at this point. While i believe Cersei thinks she stopped the Maggie the Frog prophecy by killing Margarey Tyrell, she is going full on Sith Lord, and won't let Jaime close to her. i think part of the reason she sent him away was because she knew that the wildfire was always an option, and she knows he'd be against that, or would try to stop her.

It seems silly to make apples to apples comparisons here. GRRM is writing a book series and D&D are making a television adaptation. Totally different storytelling platforms and what goes into making each one successful is widely different.

the adaptation work is and always has been fine. my statement (and most of my complaints this season) is directed their original material, the 'non' adaptation work. they simply are not as good of storytellers as GRRM. most of the acting has been fine, but the actual weight of the dialog has been lacking in substance. characters do things that are completely out of character or make no actual sense for that person to be doing. there has been literally no background scheming or plotting by any of the characters. they have been holding our hands and everything has been exactly what it seems on the surface, and it's getting boring. i understood why nothing surprised me before, but seeing as how we are past the books now, there's no reason for me to see everything coming anymore, other than poor storytelling and/or story crafting.
