I like Brienne, she is one of the very few female characters I actually do like now. Her story line is fairly simple, but I feel the actor and the character portrayed fit so well, her simple story line is enjoyable considering we already have had and still have so many wild story lines going on, with some of them being just annoying rather than enjoyable. Sure, she has survived a lot of situations, but there aren't exactly any I have felt she needed to die at, it has felt believable enough that I don't think to myself "She should defintiely be dead now". I also don't want to walk out of the room when she appears onscreen unlike the ridiculous plot armour Queen whose story line went stale and boring multiple seasons ago even though they tried to make it seem "epic".
