Great cast as always. For what it's worth, I don't see Jaime as particularly attracted to Brienne at this point - IMHO, that comes later. I could be wrong, but here's my take. 1) It's worth remembering that George writes Jaime as one of the thirstiest POV characters in the series, especially when he's away from Cersei. Yes, he notices Brienne's physical features a lot, but he does the same to Sybell Spicer and Pia in Feast. Since most other characters don't do this as liberally as Jaime, I assume it's a deliberate choice by George to show us just how much the guy is holding back. And Jaime noticing that Sybell Spicer is a handsome woman doesn't mean that he's noticed her stronger qualities and realizes she's the true woman for him, so I'm inclined to think the same thing about Brienne - at this point in their relationship, Jaime is, IMHO, just a really thirsty dude. 2) What really gets Jaime is people who remind him of the idealistic, immortal kid that he used to be - Brienne and Loras. The fact that Brienne is convinced she will fulfill her oaths, and that she carries out all kinds of heroics, and that she *loathes* him gets to him in all kinds of ways, but at this point, it's not clear that it means he wants to be with her, any more than he wants to be with Sybell or Loras.
