I'm curious about why they didn't have Arya kill the hound, I felt like it was important for her character arc, that whole bit confused me.

Not gonna hide show spoilers because fuck you go watch the episode before going into a Game of Thrones thread you mongoloids.Yeahhh, that was disappointing, and on a related note the lack of that exchange between him and Jaime before they parted ways was unfortunate. On the flip side, the Shae part was marvelous and so was the Tywin part aside from that missing line.I enjoyed what they did with the Hound and Brienne. I was wondering what the fuck they were going to do with the Hound when he didn't follow the same path as the book, and I guess that answered it. Jojen dying was a neat surprise too.

I think it's more important she didn't.Killing the hound would be showing him mercy. Leaving him there to suffer is kinda disturbing.

I looked up that book spoiler because it was being hyped up. That sucks they didn't throw it in there. Could have been a great add for literally the last scene. Anything to hype it up.Also Jojen dying is because they left out Coldhands. Who would be cool to see but alas, no Coldhands anywhere.I have a soft spot for people who are lonely, even if they are shitbags. I felt really sad about Sandor being left to die like that. Alone and suffering. He never had a friend. :(

I think it's worse. He finally had a friend. And she left him there all alone to die.I still have my fingers crossed that he's alive.

I think Ayra never really was his friend. He thought she was a friend but Ayra didn't return that feeling. So she left him to suffer and die just as he lived. Alone.

Thoughts from a Non-Reader:1. I found the most heart-wrenching scene to be Dany putting away her dragons. Those two babies weren't doing anything. It was the black/red one and she punishes them.. I really hope that she comes back, because that's disgusting to me. She has the last three dragons. Dragons that weren't even suppose to exist anymore. And she chains them away. My faith in Dany has been completely demolished this season.2. I found the Tywin/Tyrion scene rather... empty. I don't know what was suppose to be going on there or why I feel like it was lacking, but it was. You have a father and son. A dysfunctional, hateful relationship. And it ends like that? No big reveal? No nothing? Just "You're my son." and "You're not my son", "I am your son." Come on =/3. Brienne, Arya, and Sandor.... I really enjoyed this part of the show. It pitted two of my most beloved characters against each other and that frightened me. Brienne kicks ass. I feel like, like people have said here, that the Hound really did grow to trust Arya, or at least thought she was a friend. It was a strange father/daughter relationship. I will admit that I cried when she just let him be. Just kill him. Don't let him keep suffering. You're a Stark for Pete's Sake. I'm excited about Braavos, though. :D4. The Bran, Jojen, and Hodor scenes are so boring to me. I get that they will mean something later on. I realize that they are important. But good grief. I get so flipping bored. Hodor is the best actor out of the group.In all, not my favorite episode of the season. I enjoyed it a lot, but gosh. Even as a non-reader, I could tell things were shifting oddly. (Also, the Jon/Ygritte scene. And Jon/Mance.. those were really well done. At least, imho)
