Thank-you for the link. In the book the Hound at the monastery reminds me how they changed the story from the book when they did the mini-series The Thorn Birds and the beloved older brother who went to jail came back home instead of languishing in jail. Perhaps, Martin did not want a favorite character to die ignobly and retired him to be a peaceful farm worker later in the story.
To pit the two brothers against each other and the Hound winning would be poetic justice, but the Hound should do it for himself and not as the “dog” of a king or queen like Joffrey or Cersei or that ingrate Arya.
That actor like Dinklage are remarkable.
What other story line prematurely ended would you have liked to see continue and how?
“To pit the two brothers against each other and the Hound winning would be poetic justice, but the Hound should do it for himself and not as the “dog” of a king or queen like Joffrey or Cersei or that ingrate Arya.”
In the books, The Hound seems to wounded and used up to fight an undead Mountain (Ser Robert Strong). He seems content to live at the monastery. One can hope, however! I literally just reread that section of the book yesterday. I’m trying to read through all of the books before April 24th. I have 1,154 pages to go. I might not make it.
“That actor like Dinklage are remarkable.”
He is. You know the major theory about his character, right (and Jon Snow)? SPOILER ALERT!
“What other story line prematurely ended would you have liked to see continue and how?”
There are too many of those! Robb Stark’s young life, Stannis’ campaign, and a number of others!
