Ups

10. Tormund And Brienne!?

Normally I wouldn't go in for any sort of 'shipping' for characters on a TV show, but in this case I will definitely be making an exception. Tormund and Brienne?Hell yes.

Admittedly it's very early days here, given they've only just met, and this is based on little more than a couple of not-so-subtle glances from Tormund (leading to a great reaction from Dolorous Edd - when did the Wall get so funny?). But those seeds have been planted now, and dammit I want to see them grow.

Outside of purely wanting to see this relationship happen, it works for the episode by adding some levity to it, and it will add another layer to both Tormund and Brienne whichever route it ultimately goes.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
