Ser Brienne of Tarth Rises

SHE'S BEEN KNIGHTED B*TCHES!!

Ahem. The moment that Brienne realises that Jaime is not joking around and is completely serious about knighting her, is one of the best moments of Game of Thrones, period. Though the moment was hilariously brought on by Tormund's fervent vow that if he was a king, he would knight her "10 times over," it got real serious when Jaime revealed that knights can honour other knights and beckoned Brienne to kneel before him. If there was a dry eye in the house when Lady Brienne knelt down and stood back up Ser Brienne of Tarth, those dry eyes belong to one of those shadow demons that emerged from Melisandre's birth canal and should be banished!

It was a beautiful moment, made even more spectacular by the beam that breaks out across Brienne's face. In that singular moment, the world felt really good and Game of Thrones let a little sunshine into the cold that is the anticipated misery that is season eight.

Of course, this also makes us terrified that Brienne's legacy ends here and she dies by the end of the season because we can never have anything good for long, but I digress.
