Political Wins

5:04 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne defends Jaime to the skeptical court at Winterfell, convincing Sansa to accept Jaime.

to Sansa: "Without him, my Lady, you would not be alive. He armed me, armored me, and sent me to find you and bring you home. Because he had sworn an oath to your mother." (Convincing Argument)

15:54 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne is revealed to be a commander for the upcoming Battle at Winterfell, overseeing the left flank.

"It's good ground. The rise - it should give us some advantage if we can keep a tight formation we might be able to beat them back." (New Title)

16:37 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Jaime pledges his services to Brienne: "I came to Winterfell because I'm not the fighter I used to be. But I'd be honored to serve under your command, if you'll have me." (New Follower/Prisoner)

23:25 (+3) Sansa Stark:

Theon returns North and pledges his services to Sansa. "I want to fight for Winterfell, Lady Sansa. If you'll have me." (New Follower/Prisoner)

Saying Jaime shouldn't be trusted, attacked her father and tried to destroy her house and family should get politics and insult points. -brendan.hamme

Sansa should also get political points for welcoming Jaime into the fold on Brienne's suggestion. That's a follower and Sansa was the one who gave the word. -brendan.hamme

Following up, for various reasons none of these were scored.

Insult to Jaime: very plain description, wasn't much of a good line or "witty" insult in there

Convincing to spare Jaime: this was discussed, ultimately it was decided to score points only for Brienne and not give the group project credits to Tyrion/Sansa /Jon

Talking to Daenerys: she brought up the topic but didn't get Daenerys to concede or agree to anything. Kind of like football, just having a rushing *attempt* isn't supposed to get you any points. -nyan

Insults Delivered / Funny Lines

16:11 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne: "What are you doing? ... We have never had a conversation last this long without you insulting me, not once."
Jaime: "You want me to insult you?" (Funny Line)

34:01 (+3) Eddison Tollett:

Sam defends his renowned fighting abilities
Jon Snow: "If you want to join them (Gilly and little Sam in the crypts)..."
Sam: "Everyone seems to forget that I was the first man to kill a White Walker. I've killed Thenns-"
Edd: "Thenn."
Sam: "I've saved Gilly more than once. I stole a *considerable* number of books from the Citadel library. Survived the Fist of the First Men. You need me out there!"
Edd: "Well if that's where it's come to we really are fucked." (Funny Line)

34:10 (+3) Eddison Tollett:

Edd: "Samwell Tarly. Slayer of White Walkers, Lover of Ladies. As if we needed any more signs the world was ending." (Funny Line)

36:29 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne relents and allows her squire to have a drink.

Brienne: "I don't think that's wise - the battle might start at any moment."
[Podrick sad look]

submitted by nyan (approved!)

39:25 (+3) Sandor Clegane (The Hound):

to Arya: "You never used to shut up, now you're just sitting there like a mute." (Funny Line)

40:16 (+3) Sandor Clegane (The Hound):

As Beric walks by to interrupt the moment between Arya Stark and Sandor:

"Oh for fuck's sake - may as well be at a bloody wedding." (Funny Line)

40:47 (+3) Sandor Clegane (The Hound):

Beric Dondarrion: "The Lord of Light has brought us together all the same. This is his moment. When light-"
Sandor: "Thoros isn't here anymore, so I hope you're not about to give a sermon. Because if you are, the Lord of Light's gonna wonder why he brought you back 19 times just to watch you die when I chuck you over this fucking wall." (Threat)

42:40 (+3) Gendry:

Gendry with the deflection as he gets grilled by Arya.
Gendry: "Then she (Melisandre) tied me up, stripped me down, put leeches all over me."
Arya: "Was that your first time?"
Gendry: "No, yeah, I've never had leeches put all over my cock." (Funny Line)

Glasses of Wine Consumed

38:53 (+5) Sandor Clegane (The Hound):

Sandor drinks from his wineskin atop the ramparts of Winterfell. (Glass of Wine Consumed)

Acts of Intercourse

44:21 (+5) Gendry:

Gendry and Arya spend possibly their last night rolling among the burlap sacks. "We're probably going to die soon. I want to know what it's like before that happens." (Act of Intercourse)

I think this should be phrased differently. This wasn't a quid pro quo transaction. This was Arya reaching out affirmatively, demonstrating sexual agency, and choosing Gendry to have this experience with because she trusts him. She would have done the same thing even without the weapon. -power.suit

Oh definitely, not at all - sorry if this implied that, it was attempting to put some kind of color onto the event descriptions. Lemme change it to match Arya's for now and see I'll revisit if I think up anything better while writing the blog post. -nyan

Maybe this is already included in these 5 points, but shouldn't there be 2 intercourse scenes scored? There's the shot on the sacks and then again later when Arya and Gendry are shown in bed. Implied sex. -the_catherine316

Could make an argument for it, but imo the moment from Jaime's perspective is more in line with the other standard Feels points given out. It doesn't need to be symmetrical necessarily, see Bran not reacting to Jon's reunion and Daenerys not getting points for her part in making Sam sad. -nyan

I dunno, I feel like Jaime was the key part in this. He knew exactly what he was doing and how it would make Brienne feel. She would never of been knighted if it wasn’t for Jaime. It was “an act of love” on Jaime’s part, maybe even the closest thing we’ll get to him confessing his love for her. Sam’s moment was about him finding out about his family, it was his moment not Daenerys’. Imo, this moment was about Brienne AND Jaime’s relationship. -conor_finlay
