The "knew what that meant" is preceded by the knowing that Rossart is there. And Jaime's already described to Brienne in this scene how Rossart and the pyromancers would bring out the maps with the plans for where the wildfire was. Really seems like the "Rossart" realization is Jaime knowing that "Plan Firebird" is a go. And he has to stop it. Vs. another plan.
Maybe--but he doesn't seem to be consciously trying to salvage his reputation. Asks himself "why am I telling this to this absurd child" (meaning Brienne). Seems like he's just purging. If he doesn't consciously respect Brienne's opinion yet, why would he care about what she might think of Rhaegar's behavior?
It's a fairly unanswerable question. But I can't quite see why he'd hold back. He doesn't hold back much else. . . far as we can tel.
If you're talking about Willem, I have no idea. I think he was an X-Factor, and that Rhaegar (like Robert) would have required the deaths of Viserys and Daenerys in order to sit comfortably on the uncomfortable chair.
Tywin was at the Tourney of Harrenhall after all
It seems he was supportive of Rhaegar from the start. And, it is rather telling that two of the three factions, Aerys and the rebels, in RR did not receive ravens from Tywin pledging support.
If we're talking about Willem, I don't think so. But, he could have been a part of the plot, and simply went against it to secure Viserys and Dany once Rhaegar fell. Or, he could have been a part of the plot and was going to steal Viserys and Dany no matter what as part of Rhaegar's coup. This leads us down a very dark alley, in which the house with a red door was only a place to keep the kids prisoner until their execution.
think there can be no doubt of this, but the question remains if Darry was knowingly telling Jaime to obey Rhaegar or speaking from a place of honorable blind obedience.
Indeed. Tywin had been on bad terms with Aerys for longer than anyone. Can it be mere happenstance that he appears with an army at the ready every time Aerys is in peril?
Indeed! Yet another instance of a lion cub being loyal to his defiant sire when the time comes to kill a king.
sure you ladies wouldn't mind seeing Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in a Calgon commercial.
