Sorry to all those who are sick of GoT threads, but I felt I needed to share this wonderful little tribute I found online of the Hound, aka Sandor Clegane.
Truly a tragic hero from beginning to end. Always was my favorite character, and I remember how thrilled I was when he came back in Season 6 to end unfinished business. Perhaps he did deserve a more peaceful ending, but I don't think the man himself wanted that. Not everyone was pleased with the fate of the Hound, but it was easily better received than most character arc conclusions this season, all except for maybe Theon. His was also great. Anyway, if you're a fan of the Hound, I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did.
It's not mine, just to make that clear. Just came across it on the internet. I'd like to give them at least a few more views for such fine work.
I also want to point out some things including the Hound in Season 8 that I actually thought was very thoughtful writing. I didn't catch either of these while watching Season 8.
"I'm gonna put a sword through your eye, and out the back of your skull." Arya to the Hound back in Season 4.
What did the Hound do to the Mountain? He put a sword through his eye and out the back of his skull. Could be a coincidence, I suppose, but I like to think it's not.
"You're kind, it's gonna get you killed one day." Hound to Arya in Season 4.
"You're a cold little bitch, guess that's why you're still alive." Hound to Arya in Season 8.
For a Season that was rather heavy-handed, these are some very subtle hard to pick up moments, perhaps almost too hard. Perhaps there are other golden moments like these hidden in Season 8.
For all the things that may have suffered in the later seasons, I don't believe the Hound and his relationship with Arya was one of them.
