Jaime was more offended that they gave Brienne a wooden sword; not that they put her in a bear pit. Because he knew she could have taken that bear with a proper blade.

Jaime jumped in the bear pit and Brienne didn’t break down thanking him for saving her; she fought him on who was going to be protecting who.

Jaime bent down and let Brienne use his back to get out of bear pit (Why this imagery speaks to me I don’t know, but it does. The fact that’s how he helped her out.), and she in turn saves him by pulling him up out of the bear pit. 

Speaking of earlier episodes

Jaime and Brienne were (to my memory) the first Game of Thrones couple to be naked in the same room and not having sex. They were also given the same amount of naked screen time with similar shots; they didn’t show more of one over the other.

Brienne, by herself, took on three men while Jaime stood to the side and watched; protecting herself and him.

Brienne bested Jaime in a sword fight.

Jaime lied to protect Brienne, even though it ended poorly on his end. So in turn, Brienne attempted to stop Jaime’s torment and help him.

Basically, I’m rehashing all of this to bask in the glow of the perfection of these two being kick ass and equally so. 

YES. They are equals, and actually take turns being the distressed member of the couple, which adds to their insanely beautiful dynamic. Gotta love this oathkeeping, tropebreaking pair of badasses.

The Fresh Ten

Recent events have made it clear that we are suffering from a broken moral compass. People today could use some general guidance.

Since the original ten commandments seem somewhat narrow and obsolete (too much focus on livestock, servants, and jealous god issues), here is a modest first draft of a fresh set.

1. You shall treat all people with respect regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin.
2. You shall not kill, assault, nor intimidate with threats of physical violence.
3. You shall not rape, sexually coerce, nor intimidate with threats of sexual violence. 
4. You shall cultivate intellectual curiosity, be open to new ideas, and respect the scientific method.
5. You shall not cheat, nor cheat others out of what is rightfully theirs.
6. You shall not lie, deceive, nor spread lies about others. 
7. You shall not steal, that is to say take or use what rightfully belongs to another person in a manner that causes harm. (Stealing is a trickier concept than it once was. How do you say yes to Fair Use and no to software patents?)
8. You shall keep your promises.
9. You shall not waste natural resources nor pollute the shared environment.
10. You shall take responsibility for your actions and their consequences.

Clear?

Great. Re-post this everywhere and maybe it will sink in.

““ I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of…

Anything by K J Parker. The Fencer Trilogy and the Engineer Trilogy are superlative.

Michael Marshall Smith: ‘Only Forward’, ‘Spares’, and ‘One of Us’ are all brilliant and creepy, and fit Kafka’s quote nicely.

I heartily recommend Warren Ellis’ recent novel ‘Gun Machine’

Anything by Mike Resnick or Charles Stross tends to be entertaining

Anything by Bruce Sterling tends to be fascinating

For ‘funny as hell’ try to find Phule’s Company by Robert Asprin

For a highly entertaining fantasy series, Glen Cook’s ‘The Black Company’
