Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Memorable Moments From Season 8
4. Jaime Knights Brienne
Season 8 was amongst the most tragic, featuring a massacre, a brutal war and the deaths of countless beloved characters. Any moments that featured any sort of humour or positivity shone out like a beacon of light and hope.
The moment Jaime knights Brienne is amongst the happiest of the season. During the agonising wait for the White Walkers to arrive at Winterfell, a group of major characters sit and drink together with some entertaining camaraderie, which involved Tormund and Jaime trying to outdo each-other in a hilarious battle for Brienne’s attention.
The subject gets onto the fact that Brienne hasn’t been knighted because Westeros is a tremendously sexist land. Jaime reveals that a knight can actually bestow a knighthood upon another person, and he knights Brienne there and then.
There’s some truly fantastic acting from Gwendoline Christie here. The look of pure joy and pride on her face when she is knighted is enough to bring a happy tear to the eye of someone with the stoniest heart. No one is going to forget such a moving moment anytime soon.
