Game Of Thrones Season 6: 7 Things You Might've Missed In Book Of The Stranger
2. The Bear And The Maiden Fair
So, for all of the big moments in this episode, from Jon and Sansa's reunion to Daenerys emerging from the flames unscathed, there's been one major talking point: Tormund and Brienne. Let's be honest, we were all shipping these two from that very first look by Tormund, and 100% sold once he seductively ate meat in front of her.
But aside from his attraction, there is actually a link between the pair. Brienne was forced to fight a bear in Season 3, a time when the song The Bear and the Maiden Fair could often be heard on the show, especially when she is in the pit with the bear. Tormund, meanwhile, boasted of sleeping with a bear back in Season 4. Tormund's the bear then ("covered in hair") and Brienne is the maiden fair ("with honey in her hair").
