When talking hypothetical "who would beat who" pretty much everyone credits Brienne for beating Jaime and the Hound in single combat and it seems few take into account the condition of her opponents.
- Jaime had been held captive for nearly a year in shit conditions mostly chained to a pole and at the time of the fight he was chained and wearing rags. - The Hound was missing a chunk of his neck at the time of his fight. - Both times Brienne was in good health and wearing armor. Maybe Brienne still would have beat them. Maybe not. |

Really does sound like they're not sparing any expense for this season, and this doesn't even include the sets, CGI, etc... "Dany’s arrival into Winterfell was filmed many times. We’ve heard this before: the almost doubled production time wasn’t just for the sake of battles, but to ensure every scene is filmed in the best way possible. Showrunners Benioff and Weiss didn’t want to spare any expense to do the ending justice; or, as they put it to XLSemanal, to “not fuck it up.” And so they spent ten months filming only six episodes, with as many as three units, repeating takes, tweaking movements and dialogue; polishing for days scenes that should take hours. The showrunners took it more seriously than ever before. This also applies to everyone in the crew. The costume department’s Kate O’Farrell, who has more than 80 people working for her, claims they “made 22,000 pieces of clothing for extras this season, and another 300 for our stars.” Armorer Natalia Lee’s team worked overtime as well, creating countless “daggers, spears, bows, catapults, hammers, shields, crosbows and scorpions, halberds, maces, flails, tribal weapons; swords of steel, copper obsidian, wood and rubber; sword sheaths…”.

Quoted: Do we even know Jaimie is actually that great? The only times we see him using his sword before he loses his hand is against Ned in season 1 and against Brienne after he has been a captive for a year. Against Ned you can see him struggling a bit and doesn't land a single hit on Ned. Ned is several years older than him, age difference varies between the books and the show. View Quote |

I know they call him one of the greatest swordsman but do they ever tell how he earned the title in the books? Is it from his prowess with a sword at tournaments or from fighting actual battles or is he just a good swordsman and a "legend" grew as stories of his swordsmanship were told?

Quoted:
Thanks I had completely forgotten about that scene, with the exception of that scene I don't remember anyone ever describing a fight Jaime had been in except for his fight with Ned and Brienne. I was thinking maybe it was a legend that had been started that had grown over time and he just went with it. I could see a legend like that being kept going and accepted in a time period like that.

I learned from Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who could have slain all five of you with his left hand while he was taking a piss with the right." |

Arya is a little murder machine. But I think she'll put a pin on marking names off her list to help protect her family. She went north and gave up (for now) her plan to kill Cersei. Now if that cause is furthered by taking a name off the list....
And we could make the argument that since the Hound is one her side, she's going to postpone her plans to kill him. Another argument can be made that the Hound on her list is dead and she might recognize that. |

I always have felt like Jamie will be the one to kill Cersei. I could be wrong. If it does happen, it won't be until (Almost) the very end of the show, like Episode 5 this season. In fact, mark it down- Cersei dies in ep5.
