> they spent a whole episode and a half basically focusing on the return of this character, only to leave his story hardly further

> Cleganebowl is a red herring and may or may not happen, but I would bet there's a deeper purpose for him
> the whole fire thing. he is going to eventually have to overcome and own this fear
> I would say is a 100% good guy now, being a Stark ally(kind of), with the good BwB, going to fight the real enemy WW. So no more redemption left for him as far as viewers will feel.
He will draw Lightbringer from the flames, be absolutely terrified his sword is on fire and chucks it to Jon. History will think Jon was Azor Ahai, but unknowingly it was Sandor
Justin Gutierrez
he kills a fucking dragon
Landon Young
dude, he's dead you're watching bran's dream of the day
Cameron Allen
They killed Jon for no reason, D&D have no idea what theyre doing.
Jaxon Torres
>the character didn't get his head chopped off or some other kind of obvious mortal wound >obviously he is going to come back from the dead I'm so done with got man
John Martinez
Sandor, Davos and Sam are the ultimate sleeperhero's of the series.
I've considered that Sandor could be the ultimate wild card of the series as in he could end up killing Jon for Sansa, or End up killing Arya etc etc
We've followed Davos for apparently no reason for 5 years now, and Sam to be relevant will need to be be more important than just "le knowlege man". for a justifyable character arch.
Connor Morales
I would've agreed before watching the last episode of the latest season, but after the wildfire killing off plots and characters without giving them any resolution, it's become crystal clear that characters don't matter to DnD.
To them, "realism" is more important than narrative. In real life characters doesn't have plot armor and can die at any point, there are no plots or character arcs, real life is absurd, therefore it's ok to write a tv show with no regard for characters or plot, because it imitates life.
Lucas Rivera

Have we started it?
Adam Stewart
the flame elevates, sibling
Carter Garcia
He will kill the Night King.
Ian Thompson
What if he throws it at Jon and kills him, killing his pizza Nissan and creating lightening 2.0
Thomas Adams
>implying this is an issue
Seriously who gave a fuck about these characters anyway?
Noah Hall
There is this principle when writing stories, you may already be familiar with it, that there should be no unnecessary parts in the story, because the audience has limited attention to give.
Jose Martin
he's going to become a paladin of the seven.
Caleb Torres
Thats in the books. Good bait
Asher Bailey
i agree but those were characters who had been around for a while and had political purpose for KL story and Cersei
They literally just brought back Hound for a reason so hes got at least a season of plot armor and isnt there for anyone's purpose other than maybe Mountain but hes a fuck zombie whos overdue death anyway
Evan Baker
He's gonna eat every fucking chicken in Westeros.
Connor Reed

Hudson White
>thinking D&D have any sort of logical thought out plan or writing skill
Kevin Taylor
Cept in the books his death will serve some purpose dummy.
Aaron Brown
Remember when they brought back Osha after all that time WITH the true Stark heir. Remember how long that lasted.
Leo Walker

Luke Morales
it doesnt matter how bad they butcher it, they have to follow Grrms outline, and he sure as hell had an arc for Sandor worked out long ago
Samuel Davis
Stay mad kid.
Aaron Johnson
>they have to follow Grrms outline No they don't. They have masters in writing.
Ian Powell

Adam Nelson
Use your brain. She was a side side character whos purpose was to keep a small boy alive who wouldve died in the wilderness. It was clear that when his character wasnt going anywhere, she was done. Plus no one gives a fuck about her.
Sandor is a main character. he has other characters for the sake of his story, not the other way around
> Theres a purpose for Sandor Clegane
Rewatch the show and tell me if shit like that has no meaning moving forward, senpai
Charles Myers
The fire phobia will be key. He'll sacrifice himself by igniting a fire trap that slows the Walkers or something to that effect.
That, or he'll survive and start a wildly-successful contract killer business with Arya.
Lincoln Turner
>dragons breathe fire >Hound fears fire >Hound is getting over his fear of fire The Hound is going to kill at least one dragon
Jordan Diaz
user it's not called FUCKING CONFIRMED for jokes
Dylan Rogers
So the only actual comment in this thread that more or less tries to talk about the intricacies of the writing of the show from what we see onscreen is understood as a sign of autism.
>INB4 you're autistic too haha Being intelligent and/or articulate is not the same as being autistic, no matter how many episodes of TBBT you gurgle down that cock-mongler gob of yours.
They did this to the Blackfish and Benjen too. There is no hope.
Leo Cruz
Would be more potterific if he actually got to ride one. Now THAT would be rad.
Isaiah Davis
now this is autism, and im a different poster
Nicholas Gutierrez
No. This is podracing.
Ethan Miller
All of these characters are "who?" characters for casuals, which are most viewers.
The Hound is ultrameme status and very popular/deep
Connor James
Cersei is on Arya's list. She can't get to him without going through the Mountain.
FUCKING CONFIRMED
Luis Gray
>viewers like the hound >viewers like arya >hound is on arya's list
How will they handle this? Arya should not forgive the hound for the butchers boys murder.
Anthony Myers
Hound isn't on Arya's list anymore. She changed her mind supposedly. Check the wiki if you have doubts and since I am bored to send links.
Cameron Morris
>Hound is going to BwB hideout >Melly is going south, has to go through BwB territory, followers of the lord of light >Melly gonna meet Hound >She needs someone to protect her >They both get to King's Landing >They see what happened there, Hound meets Mountain >Fucking Confirmed
Easton Diaz
You mean other than allowing jon to honorably leave the nights watch?
Christopher Rodriguez
GET HYPE
again
Jordan Watson
>show hound gets pulled back in for bullshit since they needed filler >book hound died a long time ago, now a man with a burned face tries to find peace as a monk
Luis Walker
probably what will happen with him fighting mountain in the red keep as it burns to the ground around them
Jaxson Clark
Jon didn't honorably leave the night's watch. >but muh death he ain't dead enough mate..
Nathan Brown
>Davos for apparently no reason for 5 years He exists in the book to be eyes on Stannis, everything else is after thought.
Nathaniel Kelly
Hound's return felt like a promising start for a some kind of western but I really doubt he's going to add much to the series apart from pandering to the audience who liked the character
Nolan Nelson
HOLY SHIT
what if Hound is azor ahai, falls in love with Melly, pulls flaming sword from her chest and kills Night King
Lucas Torres
But he was dead. They way his vow was worded allowed him to leave.
Luis Perry
Sansa is Sandor's waifu and Arya is his daughterfu, you fool.
Cameron Parker
he´s not a targrayen
Liam Nguyen
Wouldn't need to have eyes on Stannis if you just followed Stannis then.
Blake Jones
I'd be super down with Arya decapitating the Mountain and beating Cersei to death with his head.
Jason Jenkins
He will meet melisandre and become "one of them..."
Oliver Brooks
Dont matter.
> Salt and smoke. Tears as he was betrayed and almost killed by his older brother
> has to fight mountain in a trial by combat against Cersei.
> gets one of the Valerian swords made by Tywin?
> kills Mountain, and effectively Cercei (trial) killing the lion.
> pulls flaming sword from his brother's chest
You know Cerseis gonna set up some crazy fire shit to fuck with Sandor. He'll own it and overcome his fear
Azor Sandor, reluctant hero
Josiah Wright
he will be the religious leader under the rule of Dany
Blake Bell
The vow was written with the intention that people who join the night's watch stay there until the end of their lives. Jon just wanted to take the easy route out and nobody wanted to stop him.
William Davis
Technicalities are a fairly prevalent trope of mythology and fantasy. Think about genies and the whole thing of needing to word your wishes very carefully. Or The Monkey's Paw.
Xavier Young
He will be Sansa's husband
Jayden Powell
>OP thinks the hound is going to be chopping down some whitewalkers
Jack Lee
he will
Zachary Powell
There isn't any king POVs.

Camden Brooks
He has joined up with a fire priest, too. Maybe Melly was a red herring.
Dylan Perry
>Jon just wanted to take the easy route out thats literally his character. every time responsibility or duty calls, he finds a way to run off. he ran away from his birthright and home to be a nights watch guy and he ran from lord commander because the politics got too crazy.
Josiah James
>he ran away from his birthright and home to be a nights watch guy
Bastards literally don't have birthrights m8.
Connor Kelly
This death was so easy to call, because it made so much sense and he was closest of being a competent, empathic leader in the party of sociopaths.
Hudson Hernandez
being a bastard doesn't really matter when you are a targ
Alexander Brown
Hes going North to help Jon and cuck CIA with his Big Hound Cock deep in Sansas cunt.
Ayden Kelly
Only obvious thing I can think of is that him and cersei are the only people living to know about Littlefingers betrayal of Ned and since Clegane is heading north and has a thing for Sansa I think he is going to rat on Bealish and pretty much be the nail in his self made coffin of schemes
Ryder Brooks
Thats dumb. You're dumb. Stop being dumb. The tag Theon fits you.
Jason Rogers
Did Arya show him her tits before she thought he was gonna die? I would if I were her.
Logan Adams
>grasping at straws the post
Sebastian Howard
Didn't they kill her off because the actress was pregnant?
Adam Baker
didn't think there could be worse writer than d&d
Joshua Ramirez
jon fag in here
Christian Diaz
Arya and Sandor are pretty damn close geographically at the moment and their team up was pretty popular. Arya is obviously going to kill the Red Woman and Sandor will probably head North. The reunion is obvious, after they kill the Red Woman Sandor will probably go north with her to meet up with Rob/Sansa.
Probably meet Broiann while they are at it.
Rob be like 'no way dis dude be a asshat' and Salasa and Arry be like "nah bro he cool now" and broianna be like "yo this guy can wreak face an take a hit" and Robby be like "what you say bro?" and Sandor be like "fuck The King, fuck da Lanisters and fuck fire bitches" and robby be like "yo you can ride with us git dis guy some chicken"

Davos is his own fully realized character arc in the books and he's only with Stannis half the time. He's not like Areo Cameraguy.
Lucas Campbell
>Ian Mcshane had a prominent speaking role as a guest star on the current most popular TV series
yeah his career is really in the toilet.
Xavier Green
When I first downloaded the episode I thought it was a scam one and I'd downloaded another TV series desu
