    Something Good Happened On "Game Of Thrones" And Fans Are Emotional

    I will never be over this. Warning: contains spoilers.

    This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 2. Proceed with caution!

    This was a wonderful character-focused episode of Game of Thrones full of many ~intimate~ moments, but no doubt the highlight was Brienne and Jaime's interactions.

    First of all, she stands up and vouches for him in front of everyone.

    The incredible bath scene in Season 4, in which Jaime tells Brienne the truth about why he killed the Mad King, was a turning point in their relationship. Later, Brienne sets out quite literally in search of Jaime's honour – and restores it for him.

    Which is what makes the "man with honor" moment so powerful. It's backed up by Jaime admitting he travelled North mostly for Brienne – and for his honor. The two, of course, are inexorably intertwined.

    The true high point of Brienne and Jaime's relationship – and the whole episode – is the moment when Jaime knights Brienne.

    Needless to say, a lot of fans were very emotional about it (same)...

    the way brienne looks at jaime and the way he looks at her.... THEY'RE SO IN LOVE

    2.

    The knighting of Ser Brienne of Tarth by Ser Jaime Lannister was both a fulfillment of the narrative arc of knighthood and what it means to be a "true knight" that runs through both their stories, and also a metaphorical wedding ceremony. In this essay I will- #GameofThrones
