Good but we already know Cersei is choked to death by her brother. . .
do we?
"the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”
Kind of hard to do with only one hand. So, I can still see the Jamie killing Cersei, but obviously the prophecy can
t be taken too literally.
Jon is Azor Ahai and has to plunge Longclaw through the heart of Bran
before you kill the NK you have to forge the sword, two separate acts.
"Darkness lay over the world and a hero, Azor Ahai, was chosen to fight against it. To fight the darkness, Azor Ahai needed to forge a hero's sword. He labored for thirty days and thirty nights until it was done. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. He was not one to give up easily, so he started over. The second time he took fifty days and fifty nights to make the sword, even better than the first. To temper it this time, he captured a lion and drove the sword into its heart, but once more the steel shattered. The third time, with a heavy heart, for he knew before hand what he must do to finish the blade, he worked for a hundred days and nights until it was finished. This time, he called for his wife, Nissa Nissa, and asked her to bare her breast. He drove his sword into her breast, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating Lightbringer, while her cry of anguish and ecstasy left a crack across the face of the moon"
Random musings
I think the dagger will be needed to kill the NK, and this brings with it certain ironic twists. If Bran is the NK (and I really hope I am wrong), the irony will be it is the same dagger that was used to try to kill him in episode 1, and not to mention that he held it in his hand just last episode. full circle
Jamie now has Widows Wail, and if he eventually unites with Brienne, the two swords that collectively used to be ice.
The dragon must have three heads, never thought this had anything to do with being a dragon rider, rather an alliance. As of know we have two heads, Jon and Dany. IMO Jamie is the third head.
If Jamie does end up killing Cersei, he could simultaneously be a kinslayer, and Kingslayer. If he is later the one to kill the NK, he will have killed three kings, all for the good of the realm. full circle
