And it was about time.
Perhaps Jaimes new beard will guide the rest of the final season in the best direction possible!
Of course, Jaimes facial-hair lewks have changed quite significantly throughout every season.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldaus chiseled cheekbones could easily slice butternut squash.
What happened to his hair color?
Theres never been an explanation for this.
Weiss and David Benioff appear to think that beards have a direct correlation to character growth.
But what if theyre right?
If I get my boyfriend to completely shave his facial hair off, will he clean our apartment unprompted?
This is something to think about.
See how the lines of his facial hair highlight Jaimes bone structure?
I am melting like the gold Khal Drogo used to make Viserys Targaryens iconic crown.
Unfortunately, this scruffy look isnt enough to make it to the top of our list.
Season Six
By season six, Jaime is starting to let his old, incest-ing self go.
Its a slow process, and he needs time.
And time is very … inconsistent in Westeros.
This sharp but rough look is a small leap into facial-hair greatness and belated character development.
Season Two
Jaime spends the majority of season two with poopy pants and a bad attitude.
This is understandable, since hes living in an outdoor cage as a prisoner of Robb Stark.
Season Three
Is Jaimes facial hair much different in season three than in season two?
Not really, but Im going to overanalyze it anyway.
And its a bit Jesus-y, which really works for him.
What a moment for Jaime Lannisters facial hair!
What a moment for this epic program.
Season Seven
In most other contexts, season seven would never be ranked this highly.
But not when viewed through the lens of Jaimes beautiful face!
The look really highlights his cheekbones in a way it couldnt in his looks for seasons five and six.
I want to make out with this, even if the stubble gives me dry, peeling skin.
And even if his sharp cheekbones slice my face off.
Arya can use my face to murder Cersei, I dont care.
This is the weirdest Jaime has ever looked he literally looks like a Stark now?
However, this is also the best hes ever looked.
But if this ever does happen to me, I hope I look this good.
