Serious question: pound for pound, were there any two better characters than Tormund and Lyanna this season on Game Of Thrones? Let’s recap, shall we?
Tormund, other than being the bear-f*cking Robin to Jon Snow’s My Chemical Romance-like Batman, hilariously tried to put the moves on Brienne of Tarth all season. Realistically, it was the best comic relief of the season, and I’m willing to bet they continue to tease the romance until one of them (most likely Tormund) dies. I haven’t even mentioned the amount of ass Tormund truly whoops. There are few people in Westeros who can go toe to toe with this dude. And that’s a shame because Tormund is a totally expendable character (ugh, Thrones).

As for Lyanna Mormont… damn. What can I say about Lyanna Mormont that hasn’t already been said about Julius Caesar and Ellen Degeneres? The pre-teen head of House Mormont, Lyanna is the human embodiment of taking no shit. She spent an entire season taking grizzled, battle-tested men of Westeros and putting them in metaphorical time out like little boys. It was a thing of beauty. NOT TO MENTION, she initiated the ‘KING IN THE NORTH!’ chat for our boy Jon Snow. She was a top three character this season, and will continue to provide A+ moments until the series ends. She’s a lock to not die. God, at least I hope so. I mean I know the show is going to get dark, but killing a 10-year-old girl? But I digress. Here’s that photo btw:
