(This post contains spoilers for season 8, episode 2 of “Game of Thrones”)
After the way the first episode of the final season of “Game of Thrones” ended, I kinda expected that Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) would get his big one-on-one moment with Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) right at the beginning of this week’s episode, but it was not to be. But finally about ten minutes into the episode we got the big scene.
But it took some doing for Jaime to survive that long. The conversation only happened because Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) spoke on Jaime’s behalf when Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) seemed intent on murdering him.
