'Game of Thrones' Fans Are Now (Rightly) Obsessed With Brienne & Tormund
It was the look that launched a thousand memes. "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Episode 4, had several memorable moments, including the reunion of two Stark kids. But it was the first meeting of two characters that really set the Internet ablaze, and it all started when Brienne the Beauty rode to Castle Black, and Tormund Giantsbane -- who often boasted of bedding a she-bear -- got a look at his new crush:

Yeah, baby! At the end of the episode, the erotic tension escalated over dinner, with Tormund bringing his A-game to this flirty look:

Dim the lights. It's on. And the Internet gulped it down like that soup Sansa ever-so-politely complimented. Twitter was created to react to random moments like this, and it did not disappoint. There's already even fan art.
I wish someone would look at me the way Tormund looks at Brienne and would eat me out the way Tormund eats that bread

TBH I don't care what happens to anyone else in Westeros so long as Tormund and Brienne end up happily ever after.

I don't ask for much, #GoT, but if there aren't more Tormund/Brienne scenes in the future, I'm gonna be pissed.

Yes. Do they have a special shipper name yet, like "Caryl" for Carol and Daryl on "The Walking Dead," or are Brienne and Tormund beyond all that? Whatever we call them, their watch has not ended.
