Jaime Lannister is a complex, interesting, and sometimes dark character.
Fans thought the book was closed on this character from the last episode of Game of Thrones . But apparently, that may not be the case.
Game of Thrones spoilers ahead!
Introducing our main man, Jaime Lannister.
Oh, Jaime Lannister. What a long strange trip it’s been.
Recently, we said goodbye to Jaime as Dany burnt down all of King’s Landing and the Lannisters with it.
Jaime has had an interesting life.
Fans have gone through it with Jaime. We’ve hated him, we’ve loved him, and we haven’t known how we felt about him.
On the most recent episode of Game of Thrones we thought we were saying goodbye.
It was a rough road for him.
In an effort to get to Cersei, Jaime had to first go through Euron Greyjoy.
It was his final battle before he met, what we originally thought, was his final fate.
And then came the end.
Cersei and Jaime got a very…undramatic death, which is strange for a Lannister.
But perhaps it’s not the end for one Lannister after all.
Okay, this is a wild one.
Buckle up, this is a little bumpy.
A fan actually has proof that Jaime may not be lost to us after all! Wouldn’t that be something!
According to one Tumblr user, Jaime might still be kicking.
The Tumblr user pointed to a very strange exchange between a Twitter user and an EW writer.
That seems a little sketchy if you ask us.
James Hibberd does exit interviews with the cast members as they exit the show.
Why would he be holding onto Nikolaj’s interview? He did one for Lena Headey (who plays Cersei) and Rory McCann (who plays The Hound) but not for Nikolaj…

The Tumblr user continued by saying Hibberd had said there was a surprise.
They wrote, “Apparently James Hibberd also said there was a character he was surprised to see alive in episode 6. I don’t think there is any other character at this point that we would be shocked to see alive except Jaime. Prove me wrong.”
If you look at the evidence, they’re kind of right.
The cast didn’t seem to acknowledge the fact that they were saying goodbye to Nik.
In fact, not even Nik seems to be admitting defeat.
Not even Brienne of Tarth herself had anything to say about Jaime’s death.
And after all Brienne and Jaime had been through, you’d think Gwendoline Christie would make some sort of statement about Jaime dying and Nikolaj’s run on the show ending.
Gwendoline’s only Instagram post referencing Nikolaj is pretty vague.
She uploaded this photo with the caption, “HAPPIER TIMES. 2014.” and that’s it. Notice how it doesn’t actually say anything about Jaime dying or Nikolaj being done with the show.
In an interview, Nikolaj was very cryptic about Jaime’s end.
When asked by The New Paper if fans would be satisfied with how Jaime’s arc ends, he replied, “Who knows if it is an end. Maybe it’s a new beginning. You never know.”
A new beginning?!
Like, say, what might happen if you’re ready to die with your sister-lover in a collapsing building, but you miraculously survive, and the worst influence on you in your life is finally gone, perhaps?!
Of course, there is one little problem with this theory.
Seriously, how would he escape a falling building? The magic of Game of Thrones will have to explain it to us.
What do you think about this theory? Let us know in the comments!
Arya managed to survive a collapsing building, after all.
Or did she ? If Arya can manage it, maybe Jaime can too. Maybe Jaime’s just trapped under the rubble somewhere, and someone might come find him.
Maybe Arya and her white horse?
