for values of interesting that include terror, I guess. ;-)
Awww, I hope it goes well for you!! When do you find out? Hopefully before your trip!
I could never understand what people saw in it before, but golly I'm loving everything with Brienne, but especially these last episodes with the two of them (though I hated the sexist writing to some degree when they had her calling him a woman...grrr).
OMG, I am so happy to read this :D They are far and away my favorite thing about the series (obviously I was engaged enough in the first two books to keep reading, but the third book is my absolute favorite because it develops Jaime and Brienne and Jaime/Brienne so much.) I wasn't too happy about the "woman" comment either (it never happens in the books, she just asks if he's "so craven" and the accusation of cowardice is enough to motivate Jaime to live); but I fanwanked it that Brienne doesn't believe it herself, but believes Jaime to share the general misogyny of Westeros (though actually he doesn't; in the books, he's always thinking that if he were a woman he'd be Cersei. And he has very strong anti-rape feelings because of things that he witnessed as a very young man which they may or may not mention on the show.)
I know from asking others they don't end up as a ship, which makes me sad because boy am I shipping them hard, but it's really changed a lot of how I feel about the show in some parts.
Well, it's very, very complicated; IMO, it's not correct to say they don't end up as a ship - they have a tremendous influence on one another (and some of my favorite moments between them are yet to come on the show) and are incredibly important to one another. I don't want to spoil you but I ship them hard too, and I think with reason, so don't abandon hope!!
