Well that's one of the great things about this show. Almost all of the main characters are complex. They all have understandable and human motives (though certainly not always commendable). Off the top of my head, Joeffry and Lysa are two characters that are the most repugnant because of their psychoses. The rest, like Cersei, like most of the Lannisters, stand for principles and uphold them at any cost. The main principle being empowering and propagating the Lion bloodline. Tyrion is the one exception, he's so much softer and kind-hearted than his machiavellian, ice cold family. His cleverness and guile is near genius levels, and it's almost a miracle to me that he's managed to not be singled out and killed by his own family, though that clearly hangs in the balance now.
Jaime seems to be a wild card at this point. His whole getting captured/hand chopped off/Brienne softening, has changed him. And the way Cersei has friend-zoned him (for whatever reason) has also caused him to rethink his position. I'm interested to see what path he goes. I don't think he's ever really cared about the legacy of his family line, just his own personal legacy, the Kingslayer. Well that, and Cersei. But now that he's been dumped by his sister and lost his legendary warrior identity with the missing hand and all, I think he's struggling to re-define himself.
I agree with Jaime, he lost most of what was precious to him, now he has to find his own self again, he's the classic villain gone good character. The plot about him could be interesting, but I am afraid of him becoming the positive character stereotype. There was some kind of mistery about his persona when he playd the villain role.
On the other hand Tyrion was always the soft part of Lennister family, but he missed his "badass" outlook, which also took away a huge part of his charm. He was nice contradiction between sarcastic intelectual bohemian and soft harted ethical character, while now he's more just a...good dwarf. Such a shame.
