PROBABILITY DISTORTION - Or why Jaime Lannister is less likely to die than you think (Masterpost)

A sticky masterpost to regroup all the instalments of my meta about Jaime Lannister’s survival odds into one:

Part 1 - Narrative arcs

Part 2 - Foreshadowing

Part 3 - Writing style and tropes





I also need to give a huge shoutout to Ginmo, Erin and Mena for being the human embodiments of a (very patient) archive, and providing me with links to all sorts of interviews whenever I said “where’s that article where so and so said X?” (which I did A LOT). It would have taken me months to find them all without their help.
