To finish on Jaime for tonight - even ignoring character and motivations, it sucks that he essentially resolved his attachment to his maddening sister through Brienne, then immediately went back on it and then went to Kings Landing with the sole purpose of dying. That was the entire function of him this episode - to die. That's why it fucking sucks. Could've had Jaime join Tormund beyond the wall and had no functional difference.

Like, when Tyrion told Jaime to have Cersei ring the bells and open the gates to surrender, that was such an obvious hint that Cersei would do it as a trap for Dany's army, letting them in to kill them with ambush or wildfire. That sort of trick would make sense to set up Dany to go wild, and would give Jaime purpose, as well as granting payoff for his developed empathy and the contrast to Cersei's lack of it.
