The  last but one episode brought with it a series of sweeping events, some expected and others quite unforeseen. As Daenerys Targaryen burnt King’s Landing to dust, the life of two of most important characters in the series — Cersei and Jaime Lannister  — also came to an end. While fans may have expected the characters to be killed off by the end of the HBO show, their final moments in each others’ arms have left many fans disappointed.

Some have even complained that Jaime’s entire character arc has gone to waste.

Here is what fans are saying about the Jaime and Cersei’s death.
