C.T. Phipps Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think it's a very effective scene, albeit one marred by everyone's remembrance of the Sept scene. I think Jaimie's redemption is in Brienne, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorth's1stKnight Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 jaime's look on his face when she says "oathkeeper" was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 That's true, I had to pretend he was book Jaime. So we didn't get this: "Blue is a good color on you, my lady. It goes well with your eyes." Would have been nice, but it's not the first time this has happened, they cut most of their best lines. And she named Oathkeeper, going back and forth on this one. He's put a lot into making this happen, so it obviously means a lot to him. And it's nice that he asks her, it's more of a gift that way. I sort of like the change.

Gertrude Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think they laid it on too thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well, they will be apart for a while, until next season, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 And their reunion may become unpleasant, so I'm glad there's some tenderness here to hold us over. I liked how in "the Bear and the Maiden Fair" Jaime couldn't bring himself to say "goodbye Brienne" and this time she can't say "goodbye" to him. There were lines that I had thought would be indispensable to the scene, but when I saw it without, it didn't seem to need them. They acted them, I guess. I think there will be an extended cut of it on the DVD though (I hope) because there were shots in promotional material that were clearly meant for this scene, that didn't appear in the episode.

rocksniffer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 i think that his feelings for her were something of a shock to his system....he has repeatedly said he had never had any woman but cersei, so discovering a woman loves him, even though in his mind he is an honorless cripple is difficult to accept. remember he has just had a woman that has professed to love him for his entire life reject him because he was maimed and has not been at her beck and call as she selfishly put it you came too late.

PhoenixFlame Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I liked how she named Oathkeeper because of his reaction shot. Like, he'd love love love for it to be named that but he can't say it out of thinking she'd snort and be "wtf, u rly?" He's got his pride. Getting Pod out of the city and giving him to Brienne as a squire was awesome too--showed his love for Tyrion and Brienne, as Pod did prove his skill at Blackwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, I liked that they called back to that. I also liked when he started walking after her, and she looked back. They are both wonderful in the roles, I can't say enough good things. i think that his feelings for her were something of a shock to his system....he has repeatedly said he had never had any woman but cersei, so discovering a woman loves him, even though in his mind he is an honorless cripple is difficult to accept. Yeah, I think her feelings for him were throwing her for a loop, too. They both looked like they were saying goodbye to the one person they didn't want to say goodbye to.

Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I liked it all. I loved how pod went from looking like the happiest guy on earth to frowning when Brienne said she didn't need a squire. plus the Ser/Milady stuff. Her lookingback hit me right in thefeels.

I'm sold. And how cute was Pod, he was so happy to be her squire, I just love that about him. Didn't matter that she was a woman at all. And he did the Ser... My lady... perfectly. And that look she gave Jaime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koi No Yokan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thought both scenes were done well. Loved that transitioning shot to Pod's big smile. I liked hearing Brienne read from Jaime's pages, and I especially liked her naming the sword. I think the key to both these scenes were what's implied, and not what was said. So much admiration and suppressed emotion between the two. Their farewell was really touching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Cygne Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oh, I forgot, the measurements line was pretty awesome, a little subtley there. He was checking her out a wee bit, no? I always thought in the books, he told them to make her the dress in blue. Here he told them to make the armor in blue. That's even better. These two are just totally channeling the book characters, they could say gibberish and it would still come out as Jaime and Brienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
