When Jaime leaves WInterfell, I thought for sure he was going to murder Cersei. But it turns out he was just going to... die with her? I'm a little confused as to what his motivation was.

He wanted to rescue her, as he knew that Dany was likely to prevail. Though I guess he also suspected that it would end in their deaths, but din't care because he loved her.

That pretty much nulls the idea that he found redemption which is pretty sad. I thought for sure he would do the right thing by end of series.

His motivation was love.

I'd disagree. He did become a better person; he just loved Cersei too much to leave her.

Yes, he became a better person as in he wouldn't push another boy out of the window for an evil witch of a woman but he sure as hell didn't make up for the first little boy he pushed out. He could have done that by eliminating Cersei and perhaps preventing the destruction of King's Landing. Of course, we all know he didn't make it on time but if that was never his intention then he was never redeemed.

Shrugs Life's not that simple.
There's an interesting quote from GRRM on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_Lannister

Yes, a very interesting point. Not much of a defense though. Imagine standing before a judge and saying, "Your honor, I tried to kill the boy because if I didn't then it would be revealed that I had committed treason and fathered illegitimate children with my sister of all people. But you can see the reasoning can't you? Think of the children!! One child for three is a damn good trade!" .

I suppose the point its that there wouldn't even BE a court in this case. Just a very angry king after your blood - and his word is law. You can only play the Game of Thrones if you are alive after all...

I also didn't like that he still loved Cersei but after reflecting a bit lol not just because he loved her but...it's a twin thing.

I don't know. They all seem to respect the trial by combat rule which at the time Jaime would have been a damn good challenge.
