I definitely shipped it in the books but I still found myself frowning at the way they got together in the show. Really felt like a fanservicey "you want this so we made it happen OK DONE" checklist thing from the writers' part. I don't see Brienne as the type who'd get drunk and fuck her crush at the drop of a hat.

Honestly, yeah.

Shows actively weigh what their audiences want thse days though and then shoehorn stuff in. It’s why I don't bother with juggernaut shows usually, they're badly written and the characters are treated cheaply.

Might've made more sense if it'd happened before the big battle, but then they gave that to Gendrya.

I wish they'd handled the hookup in the show better too. Some foreplay. Some anxiety/nervousness on either Brienne's or Jaime's part. Oddly, I think the sex scene was completely in character, but it would have worked better for a third or fourth time scene, or as a "we haven't done it in a while" scene. It didn't really work as a first time sex scene.

Brienne in the show is supposed to be older than Brienne in the books, so I can buy her being bolder... but... yeah, I still think she would have had some reservations. And I hate complaining, because we got SO much UST and arguably romantic gestures from season 2 through 8... but then again, that's exactly the problem. The actual sex scene lacked the emotion and romance, didn't give us anything leading up to it, didn't give us anything following it (afterglow), and then torpedoed it in a puddle of Brienne's tears (though I don't think this is the actual end of them).
