WARNING: SPOILERS…AS ALWAYS
Even though Daenerys was the one who stole the show on last night’s Game of Thrones (and is seemingly the only part of the episode anyone is willing to talk about today) that doesn’t mean that the episode was bland up until the end. Quite contrary – we got Jon reuniting with Sansa, Littlefinger scheming and this delightfully awkward/uncomfortable interaction between Brienne and Tormund:
Don’t know whether that chunk of meat was supposed to be a metaphor, but if it was then Brienne better hop on that face STAT before he changes his mind. Jokes aside, assuming this brief scene is alluding to a future Brienne/Tormund romance it would be a nice bit of synchroncity in the series – Brienne was constantly made fun of by noblemen as a child due to her large stature and awkward gait, so where else would she find love but with a wildling leader, aka the complete opposite of a nobleman?
Call me crazy if you want, but it looks like I’m not the only person who’s got a feeling this is coming…:

I think Tormund sexily eating a large hunk of meat at Brienne is my favorite thing to happen in this episode of #GameofThrones.
