'Game of Thrones' Season 8 better have a sizzling Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth sex scene
Not to taint their pure bond, but this needs to happen.
There's just a span of one short weekend separating us from the upcoming big season premiere of Game of Thrones' season 8, and we can't keep calm about all the people who are possibly going to culminate their itsy bitsy 'aww' moments together into one epic sizzling sex scene. There are too many competitors on the list, with all the several different reunions fans have been teased with about the upcoming final season of the HBO drama, and the one couple we can't absolutely overlook and / or stop being hopeful about is Sir Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth.
Before everybody comes with a slew of reminders about how devotional Jaime's (Nikolaj Coster Valdau) love for his twin sister, Cersei Lannister (Lena Heady) there's something that must be addressed. The reason we are expecting Jaime to get down and dirty with someone that's not his sister is surely the rage and regret he expresses over her choices in the final trailer for season 8. Basically, Jaime is irrevocably in love with Cersei, but he isn't blinded towards her vile and vain vicious ways, or the fact that her murderous rage and thirst for vengeance has spurred her to commit genocide in the past. And considering what a nobleman our Kingslayer has been in the recent past, it's quite possible that he might finally see the light and go for someone equally noble.
And that brings us to Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) — the one woman who has been by Jaime's side through thick and thin, for the last few seasons. What had started off as Jaime just being Brienne's prisoner whom she didn't particularly care for, the two evolved through bonding over a lost hand, fighting in a bear pit, and their sentiments on finding honor even in times as dire and dark as the ones they have been through together. Over time it has been established that Brienne's feelings for Jaime evolved too, from that of spite to something akin to a deeper level of respect — something that she associated her vow to Lady Stark with. That Brienne is possibly in love with Jaime is no secret; even Cersei knows it. But what really confirms Jaime's possibly beyond platonic feelings for Brienne is him bestowing her with Oathkeeper — his own sword.
Character development and progression is one thing, but when it comes to Jaime and Brienne, it's beyond just two enemies turning into friends. This is no tale of guy and girl hate each other but end up falling in love. Their relationship's evolution is way more nuanced and layered — something that not even Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) could compare to. After all these seasons, it only seems right that if there was one normal couple filled with mutual respect, love, and affection for each other left in the show, it should be Jaime and Brienne. Plus the fact that the two of them have already seen each other in the nude also helps!
The added sizzle to their pairing is how unconventional the pair are. Jaime's a prince, Brienne is the hand. Jaime's the pretty boy, Brienne is not deemed the conventionally attractive woman. Yet somehow they are such a perfect fit and would probably culminate to a better sex scene than Jon and Daenerys ever could. The reunion will happen when Jaime — under Brienne's advice — decides to fight for the North, so that calls for an added celebration. Let's hope it's the sexual kind. We can anticipate how awkward or fumbling the two characters might be if they were to actually consummate this love for the first time, but that's okay. We haven't really seen Jaime bed any other woman than his own sister, so Brienne will definitely be a fresh change. As for Brienne, she hasn't had any sex scenes at all, so Jaime is as good a start as any.
The only hindrance in the theory would be our very favorite Wildling, Tormund (Kristofer Hivju). Being a warrior, there was no way he couldn't have developed a booming crush on the kickass fighter than is Brienne. But luckily on that front, Brienne hasn't shown any interest in him whatsoever. Throughout the time she has known Jaime, her devotion for the man has pretty much rendered her incapable of looking at another man the same way. Now, all we need is Jaime to realize that he should move on from crazy blonde queens to undaunted blonde warriors and voila. That's foundation stone for the best sex scene fans could have ever asked for!
