I always love the way the Hound can cut through bullshit. My favorite one is: Arya: He's still got my sword, Needle. Hound: Needle. Of course you named your sword. Arya: Lots of people name their swords. Hound: Lots of cunts! :D
@@JerryJones-g9c Slight typing error. It's supposed to be "We all bloody die." Which is just the same as saying that we all die. It's The Hound; he can hardly make a complete sentence without cursing. 😂
It’s impossible to overstate how incredible Rory McCann was throughout the entirety of this show. He was absolutely perfect from his first appearance to his last, even in scenes where the writing was awful. No amount of praise for him nailing arguably the most complex character in the entire story will ever be enough.
I love how Clegane says "not any more" in response to having friends. Just a touch of melancholy in his voice, juuuuuuuust letting his tough exterior crack momentarily, then he's right back into gritted teeth and "they're mine!"
But it was true. He didn’t have a friend for the rest of the show. Some tried to be friendly, and he deliberately blew them off. Sad. I do the same, but with ineptitude, not attitude.
Gotta appreciate the fact that Beric and the Hound can hang out like this considering the Hound LITERALLY killed the dude last time they saw each other
I think GOT benefitted from a *lot* of (very) good casting. And, complaints about Season 8 seem more irrelevant, as GRRM seems to have slowed down more (can't complain, the POVs he sets are great and have given the story an unexpected depth).
The moment Beric said "You can still help..." he had him. The man goes from running down a butcher's boy on horseback to one of the truest heroes in the story.
So true, the hound has the most clear and complete character arc of anyone in the series and I absolutely love it. His early life made him cold and cruel, but even from the beginning you can tell he never fully lost his compassion towards the weak and innocent!
He ran down a butchers boy by order of his Prince and implicit order from King Robert. Like Jamie, he was never a bad person from the start but frequently had family or role duties to someone “less honorable.”
@@gringopatacpan2754 Right, Brienne too. so this fellow, one of the skilled and strongest warriors in the 7 Kingdoms, was highly impressed by 2 entirely different female warriors...
I agree. Joffrey, Tyrion, Cersei, Ned and plenty of other castings were brilliant in this show. People are hyping over House of the Dragon but casting sucks. Black Corlys, not handsome, wrong pitch voiced Daemon, Rhaenyra's actress and Viserys' actor doesnt give Targaryen vibe, only Aemond's actor is brilliant match. I didnt mean they are not talented, in fact their acting was brilliant, it is just their appearances are soo different from what fans expected.
@@naeemahmed2748 No. Too nice a vibe. It's weird because everything I've heard about Rory McCann indicates he's a big sweet goofball in real life, but then he plays bad guys and guys of dubious morals and he lets Skippy out to play.
I appreciate how they call him Clegane. He is man who deserves respect. The Brotherhood Without Banners was one of the most interesting subplots in later seasons. Thoros and Dondarian are fantastic well written charecters
As much as I disliked that going beyond the wall plotline for the sheer stupidity of the whole endeavour, I really love a lot of the interactions it created. These tranquil and bleak scenes are what I always enjoyed the most about the show.
Thoros is easily my favorite character in the show. I relate a lot with the whole drunken spiritual behavior... Im sure a lot of people do. Him and Beric are criminally underused.
"Drop that arrow you bloody girl." The Hound has to have more priceless lines throughout this series than any other character. How such a character of darkness can be so endearing is pure gold.
My favourite was "Any man dies with a clean sword I'll rape his fucking corpse!" Especially as Lancel Lannister put up a decent fight before being injured lol I also love his line in the Tavern over the chickens lol
This is one of my all time favorite sequences with The Hound and The Brotherhood. I love the dialogue and how Clegane is seeking some kind of meaning and redemption. He realizes he wants to believe in something greater than himself, but has a hard time coming to terms with it, due to his burnt face and rough life, it's hard for him to accept it fully.
Yes, same here. This captures Sandor Clegane very well. No nonsense, no bullshit, no excess talk and he's absolutely savage, but at the same time he's naked justice. Try and rape a young girl and find out what your internal organs look like before you die. Kill his friend, well, you shouldn't have done that. Good luck and try to die gallantly.
I agree; I think he knows how directionless he is, but he’s craving something more worthwhile and meaningful to do with his skills. Even back in season 2, he offered to spirit Sansa back home safely when she had no other options, and he protects Arya incredibly fiercely. He has a sympathy for those being persecuted, especially when they’ve done nothing wrong.
"I beat you cause I'm better than you" Spoken like a true man who doesn't give a rats ass about what happens next and with full confidence that has been earned over time "Aye, you're probably right" Spoken like a true man who is wise and knows when to not try and play cocky and looks past through all of it and looks into the bigger picture, of course also based from his experiences Two men war bound and different paths, but yet were made into the men they are by war, shows how much a mindset can really change and mold a man
Too long. Actually, they just knew what they were talking about 'cause they have already fought each other, and Hound has won. Further, Berric's intention wasn't to insult Clegane and cause another fight but to recruit him
@@SuperCosty2010 no shit? Wowwww it's almost as if you thought you knew something I didn't or that I've never seen the show orrrrr that I couldn't get that from context clues from this scene even if I hadn't, take care now bye bye then, sorry my comment got more likes than yours bubs 🤷
Good and bad, young and old The things we're fighting will destroy them all alike You can still help a lot more than you've harmed, Clegane It's not too late for you I would willingly listen to Beric Dondarrion read from a phone book.
Its funny tbf, as Thoros first tries to sway Sandor Clegane, but as he said; he's but a failed drunk priest; he fáils to find the right words. Beric is actually the wiser, more learned man, and finds the right words to approach Sandor Clegane in his convictions.
Beric Dondarion and Thoros of Myr was one of my favorite characters. I so enjoyed it when Mormont and Ser Barristan talked about his escapades in the Greyjoy rebellion. GOT❤️
Depends who's writing it. The hound after season 4 more so felt like a gimmick than an actual character. And while I did like the brotherhood at 1 point they ended up being pretty 1 note I felt. Just felt so routine
I just noticed that Clegane probably kicked the logs on his 2 victims lower or at least at an angle so that the drop wasn't as high for their necks to snap. That way it wouldn't be "over in an instant." If you check again, the 3rd guy, despite being hanged last, dies immediately with barely any noise and only twitches once while the other 2 are clearly still suffocating to death and spasming - especially the guy in the middle LOL. Even after their dialogue, he's still giving the F U to the Brotherhood.
How hard or what angle he kicked the stools would have had zero effect on how fast they died, they would have had to fall from a far greater height than that to snap their necks.
“You’ve got friends?” “Not anymore.” Killed his only friend. Super sad. His wrath is fuelled by pure rage and vengeance. The hound was a very likeable character despite his many flaws.
@@GodofGamesss Sort of. While he is born in very minor nobility - which is much better than 60-70% out there - he had to deal with absent parents and a very abusive older brother who scarred him for life. Sure, he enjoyed some measure of a better life but at what cost? He is emotionally damaged and engages in violence because it is, for the most part, the only way he has found to survive and make do. I'd likely preferred to have been a sept or even a peasant in some lands rather than Sandor Clegane.
@@MrLuchenkov Even with that taken into account he still has it better. Live as a peasant is hard, you have to deal with a 50% child death rate and your parents will see you as part of the labor they have available. When your parents work hard, you work hard and if you dont, you get the shit beaten out of you. Not to mention that children have the lowest respect while the elderly have the highest respect and you are to treat them as such. So after you survive that and become an adult, you have to find a way to make a living. If your the eldest you can stay with your parents and eventually take over whatever their doing. But if your a second son or less your on your own. And as a woman you just get married of to the highest standing person that wants you. But this is during peacetime... During wartime your pretty much screwed each time an army passes by, it does not even matter on which side that army is. What ever they need will get confiscated from you and if they think you have more they turn your place upside down. Not to mention that they might rape some woman while their at it. And then you have the deserters which form temporally bandit groups that pillage everything on their way back to were ever they came from. Live was horrible for most people during this era and I think this is the reason why everyone was so religious. You cant hang on to live as an Atheist when every day is harsh or even spend in fear.
The hound isn't a monster deep down. It meant a lot to him to be able to help his priest friend build that Sept. The only good thing that came from this was it led him back to the brotherhood without banners and they showed him that God still has a plan for him. He died knowing he found some real peace and did some real good at the end of his life.
Damn, this is fantastic. Stuff like this is why we started watching GoT in the first place. I can take or leave the dragons and zombies and epic battles. Give me hard people in a hard world, having excellent dialogue while trying to be honorable.
That was already season 6, the last with decent writing. Actually, despite having almost nothing with the books anymore storywise, it was better than the 5th
The thing that sucks is that this scene wasn't in the books, so we know D&D are capable of good writing, they just didn't care enough in seasons 7&8 because they wanted to wrap up the show and move on to other stuff. What a letdown it was to abandon the fans like that, and I feel awful for George who cautiously allowed them to develop it into a TV series only to have them run it into the ground.
Do you think Sandor will return in the books as well? I do not. I think HBO choose to bring him back because of the characters popularity. George don't do that. Also, the guy in the middle is suposed to be Lem Lemoncloak. Is not all bad what D&D did to him, since they didn't even brought Catelyn back from the river. There is a awesome video of the actor saying the "she remembers" speech, though
@@jukahri It's pretty difficult to go back and watch scenes like this, knowing how abysmal the ending is. This IS a great scene- my point is that D&D often get flack for being "bad writers", which seasons 7&8 were full of "bad writing". But are they capable of very good writing? Yes, and this scene as well as others that aren't in the books are proof of that.
@@boromirfernandes4324 I think as much as GRRM would like to think the show won't influence his writing, he probably feels obligated now to follow at least *some* of what was done in the show, after they ran out of material from his books. I can't imagine Winds of winter will be a complete departure from what we got in the show, just much more fleshed out and perhaps with more satisfying conclusions. I do think we will get Cleganebowl in the books, so Sandor will probably be back.
Such a brilliant scene from start to finish. No wasted dialogue, no false bravado; it's a simple and straightforward showcase of warriors who have warriors' honor and understanding between them. Behind all the vitriol and anger, there is a connection between all of these men who trade in death.
Yes, good scene. I liked the show from the very beginning, because most of the characters, especially in the North, look very natural with their "medieval" simplicity, rawness or brutality. Such as here or, for example, Yoren, Craster, Roose Bolton... They are much more convincing than many characters from many non-fantasy films based on real events.
2:42 The camaraderie is amazing. The hound literally killed the guy and now they're sharing food and wine. Circumstances dictate they're rivals but they still respect each other
Sandor is a true knight of heart since day one. He just happened to be born in a shitty place, beaten by a shitty older brother, worked for shitty people doing shitty works. When the whole world is set on giving you only shit, you become a pig, that’s how you survive. His heart never changed. He just locked it far away from all the shit, under an impenetrable fortress of unparalleled sheer will to strive in this shitty world. Built it for years and years until one day he realized that if it meant dying for all this shit, it would be on his own damn terms. The pig broke the fence.
Not really. Arya had the worst arc in the whole show, and the Hound wasn't much better. Having him fight his brother was hollow fan service, nothing more.
"You've got friends ?" "Not anymore." "They die." "We all bloody die." "Chop off one hand." "You're getting old Clegane." "He's not." This scene is just perfect. I miss this show.
I like the small detail that he pushes the log hard on the first one so the neck snaps instantly, but the leader he purposely pushes it slower. Even at on the brotherhoods terms he still makes him suffer
I always viewed this as a great concept I love in media. Fucking with a bad man is stupid. Fucking with a bad man who's TRYING to go good is even stupider.
@@thirdlantern It sucks, they did great when they had books to go off but the last two seasons were nothing but cliff notes of what they knew and that’s exactly what we got.
@@hildaenjoyer8862 Most of Season 6 is after the books and/or made up as the story diverged quite a bit from the books anyway. The real reason Season 6 is good is because it's *before all of the different plotlines needed to converge.* Then things get messy. Realistically, with Dany's dragons, Dothraki and Unsullied, the story may as well be over. *She's insanely overpowered and hard to write around.* It's a tipping point. Unlike the Dance Of Dragons, it's extremely one-sided. For example, how can you attempt a siege of Highgarden or do anything when Dany can just fly there? How can you wrap up the Purple Wedding plotline and get that well written exchange between Lady Olenna and Jaime? If it was easy to finish, George would have done it a decade ago, tbh
The Hound is one of the best characters to come out of GOT. He's a truly neutral person with no fealty to anyone. And his attitude makes the character perfect along with his size
Such a Love-Hate relationship ( or not even that ) between the Hound and Beric/Thorus /The Brotherhood : such animosity and yet they can find common ground against other / bigger enemies ...
I'd love an entire show based on the Brotherhood or something the like. A group of mercenaries just doing contracts in a fantasy world as realistic as Westeros. This level of realism and dark sorcery could be appplied to something like The Black Company and it would look incredible.
You think being a coldblooded savage murderer and taking the boots from his feet as he murder's him before he dies without showing any emotion over it is as good thing for a human being to be like?
Love the negotiations and deal making between the Brotherhood and Clegane: "you can have one", "two", "okay, no butchering, I'll just cut off one hand", and so on.
Clegane was easily my favorite character of many many great characters in the show. His hyper realist, violent, but still basically moral, decency just really spoke to me. Like a lot of things in the last season he was done wrong. The Mountain by the end was more just a robotic object of pity than the evil brother than he wanted revenge on. Why bother?
Interesting to hear him say he would have killed "all 7 of them". He is such an experienced fighter that he had completely analyzed the party he was facing while casually engaging in a conversation. A true seasoned warrior, always aware of his surroundings, he was probably planning how to engage all of them in the back of his head to be ready to act if something detonated a fight.
Me too i thought how his character evolved from just doing what he was told without question to actually having his own morels he deserved a better ending although he was always prepared to die for his revenge.
The part where Thoros puts 2 and 2 together about why Sandor is burying the farmer and his daughter was one of the saddest and most beautiful moments in the entire series.
In such a terrific, well played scene they kicked it right through the goal posts with Clegane pulling the boots off the feet of the man he just hanged while he's still chocking to death.

@@dc1397 YOU are DEAD wrong with that assessment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@elliotjames1273 I am CORRECTAMUNDO and thou knoweth thus
The hound isn't a monster deep down. It meant a lot to him to be able to help his priest friend build that Sept.
The only good thing that came from this was it led him back to the brotherhood without banners and they showed him that God still has a plan for him.
He died knowing he found some real peace and did some real good at the end of his life.
"We all bloody die...except this one here." -- Best line
Damn, this is fantastic. Stuff like this is why we started watching GoT in the first place. I can take or leave the dragons and zombies and epic battles. Give me hard people in a hard world, having excellent dialogue while trying to be honorable.
That was already season 6, the last with decent writing. Actually, despite having almost nothing with the books anymore storywise, it was better than the 5th
This dialogue isn't that great. It's alright I guess but everything to do with the hound after season 4 is pretty underwhelming

The thing that sucks is that this scene wasn't in the books, so we know D&D are capable of good writing, they just didn't care enough in seasons 7&8 because they wanted to wrap up the show and move on to other stuff. What a letdown it was to abandon the fans like that, and I feel awful for George who cautiously allowed them to develop it into a TV series only to have them run it into the ground.
Do you think Sandor will return in the books as well? I do not. I think HBO choose to bring him back because of the characters popularity. George don't do that. Also, the guy in the middle is suposed to be Lem Lemoncloak. Is not all bad what D&D did to him, since they didn't even brought Catelyn back from the river. There is a awesome video of the actor saying the "she remembers" speech, though
Can't you just appreciate something without having to bring up season 7 & 8 every single time?
@@jukahri It's pretty difficult to go back and watch scenes like this, knowing how abysmal the ending is. This IS a great scene- my point is that D&D often get flack for being "bad writers", which seasons 7&8 were full of "bad writing". But are they capable of very good writing? Yes, and this scene as well as others that aren't in the books are proof of that.
@@boromirfernandes4324 I think as much as GRRM would like to think the show won't influence his writing, he probably feels obligated now to follow at least *some* of what was done in the show, after they ran out of material from his books. I can't imagine Winds of winter will be a complete departure from what we got in the show, just much more fleshed out and perhaps with more satisfying conclusions. I do think we will get Cleganebowl in the books, so Sandor will probably be back.
The fact that they CAN write, but chose not to, is why I despise them so much. They ruined something wonderful out of sheer laziness.
He has to be one of the best written characters in a show.
He was definitely my favorite character
Such a brilliant scene from start to finish. No wasted dialogue, no false bravado; it's a simple and straightforward showcase of warriors who have warriors' honor and understanding between them. Behind all the vitriol and anger, there is a connection between all of these men who trade in death.
I beg to differ. The line about them being nancies should have been cut. Rewatch, imagine that line gone - perfect.
Yes, good scene. I liked the show from the very beginning, because most of the characters, especially in the North, look very natural with their "medieval" simplicity, rawness or brutality. Such as here or, for example, Yoren, Craster, Roose Bolton... They are much more convincing than many characters from many non-fantasy films based on real events.
Him not looking at the archer is a bit cliched as well.
2:42 The camaraderie is amazing. The hound literally killed the guy and now they're sharing food and wine. Circumstances dictate they're rivals but they still respect each other
I like how Clegane frightens all of them -- like just talking to him is tempting death.
Except thoros
@@drssssssssscuz Thoros was an alcoholic with no particular interest in life besides booze
We all bloody die.
Except for that one over here.
How can so many of his lines be this good?
He’s been through so much yet he’s still a good man. Love that
He has decided to be the opposite of a good man for a long time then he had enough of it.
@@Omertahun He wasn't a bad man. He was an obedient man. His masters were bad men.
Sandor is a true knight of heart since day one. He just happened to be born in a shitty place, beaten by a shitty older brother, worked for shitty people doing shitty works. When the whole world is set on giving you only shit, you become a pig, that’s how you survive. His heart never changed. He just locked it far away from all the shit, under an impenetrable fortress of unparalleled sheer will to strive in this shitty world. Built it for years and years until one day he realized that if it meant dying for all this shit, it would be on his own damn terms. The pig broke the fence.

A brilliant scene in a brutal world. You can see the inner turmoil as the hound contemplates his destiny.
3:50 - I like how Rory McCann's Scottish accent slips in a bit here. :)
When he's pissing in the water?
@@alext25663:57
Clegane and Bronn had the best lines in the entire show. Probably my favorite characters out of the bunch.
GOT was at its best when it slowed down and was thoughtful.
The Hound's arc was perhaps the most satisfying of any characters in the show. His and Arya's.
Arya’s was pure shit
Not really. Arya had the worst arc in the whole show, and the Hound wasn't much better. Having him fight his brother was hollow fan service, nothing more.
@@HOTD108_ You're crazy Arya's was great
love to hear the scottish accent creep into his lines at 3:55 makes him all the better a character
"You've got friends ?"
"Not anymore."
"They die."
"We all bloody die."
"Chop off one hand."
"You're getting old Clegane."
"He's not."
This scene is just perfect. I miss this show.
I like the small detail that he pushes the log hard on the first one so the neck snaps instantly, but the leader he purposely pushes it slower. Even at on the brotherhoods terms he still makes him suffer
The leader’s neck didn’t snap instantly because he’s fat. Thick necks don’t snap as easily.
"We all Bloody die. Except this one here." Best line ever!
Taking the guys boots while he's still hanging is peak Sandor.
The dialog in this scene is fantastic. A rarity in the later seasons.
I always viewed this as a great concept I love in media. Fucking with a bad man is stupid. Fucking with a bad man who's TRYING to go good is even stupider.
I think when he says you’re getting old clegane “HE’s NOT” is up there with Samuel L Jackson when he’s like “Im sorry did I break your concentration”
Hound looting corpses like he in an MMO. My man need those legendaries.
An actor playing Berric has sucha a good voice that he could be a voice actor for games or videobooks. Incredible.
Certain characters make shows great and he is definitely one of them
I love how he delivers these lines with annoyance rather than any real anger. Everything seems to exist just to make his day worse.
This was some of the sharpest and best performed dialogue in the entire series.
S6 was the last really good season, it doesn't deserve being put in the same category as S7 and S8.
@@hildaenjoyer8862 Couldn't agree more. The way they wrapped things up should be embarrassing.
@@thirdlantern It sucks, they did great when they had books to go off but the last two seasons were nothing but cliff notes of what they knew and that’s exactly what we got.
@@hildaenjoyer8862 Most of Season 6 is after the books and/or made up as the story diverged quite a bit from the books anyway.
The real reason Season 6 is good is because it's *before all of the different plotlines needed to converge.* Then things get messy.
Realistically, with Dany's dragons, Dothraki and Unsullied, the story may as well be over. *She's insanely overpowered and hard to write around.* It's a tipping point.
Unlike the Dance Of Dragons, it's extremely one-sided.
For example, how can you attempt a siege of Highgarden or do anything when Dany can just fly there? How can you wrap up the Purple Wedding plotline and get that well written exchange between Lady Olenna and Jaime?
If it was easy to finish, George would have done it a decade ago, tbh
Best part of the show. Wish they had more of these guys.
The Hound is one of the best characters to come out of GOT. He's a truly neutral person with no fealty to anyone. And his attitude makes the character perfect along with his size
Such a Love-Hate relationship ( or not even that ) between the Hound and Beric/Thorus /The Brotherhood : such animosity and yet they can find common ground against other / bigger enemies ...
"Drop that arrow, you bloody girl" always cracks me up 😂
I'd love an entire show based on the Brotherhood or something the like. A group of mercenaries just doing contracts in a fantasy world as realistic as Westeros. This level of realism and dark sorcery could be appplied to something like The Black Company and it would look incredible.
The Hound taking the boots as the dude is still kicking is savage level cold blooded. That he just does it so matter of factly makes it 100× better. Great character, The Hound. I'm glad that D n D at least let him get even with his brother at the end.
They didn't fu©k up his character arc as badly as they did to most of the others.
Good boots are hard to find.
You think being a coldblooded savage murderer and taking the boots from his feet as he murder's him before he dies without showing any emotion over it is as good thing for a human being to be like?
@@eseholmes4592 And that man is dead, he won't need them.
Waste not, want not.
Agreed. His final arc wasn’t unbearable like the rest
“You’re getting old, Clegane”
“He’s not” *kick*
Of all the things they messed up and halfassed I'm glad my boy Beric got the quality he deserved. Still one of my favorite characters
"Tougher Girls than you tried to kill me" 🤣 so true
To be fair Brienne was tougher then most of the males.
The hound was by far the best character in GOT and honestly it wasn’t even a close competition. Guys a GOAT
always come back to watch scenes of The Hound
1:09 tougher girls than you have tried to kill me
Arya: aww he remembered
Love the negotiations and deal making between the Brotherhood and Clegane: "you can have one", "two", "okay, no butchering, I'll just cut off one hand", and so on.
The balance between vengeance and justice.
It's easy to go 'nope, all justice' but the opportunity for Law went out the window with King Tommen.
Clegane was easily my favorite character of many many great characters in the show. His hyper realist, violent, but still basically moral, decency just really spoke to me. Like a lot of things in the last season he was done wrong. The Mountain by the end was more just a robotic object of pity than the evil brother than he wanted revenge on. Why bother?
Every other line out of the Hound's mouth is a reference to something that happened back when the writing in the show was good.
What a shame that the shows ending wasted these wonderful characters and the fantastic performances of these incredible actors.
The creators were in love with Cersei, that's why.
@@JayCity10 Arya and Sansa**
The hound was and always will be my favorite character in the series.
love the brotherhood. Beric and Thoros are underrated characters in the series. Hell ya!
The Hound taking off the dying man's boots from his twitching body is one of the coolest and coldest things I've ever seen on TV.
"You're getting old Clegane"
"He's not."
That's a hard fucking line.
This is one of the scenes that I love to watch over and over
Beric is an underrated character in the show…
Interesting to hear him say he would have killed "all 7 of them".
He is such an experienced fighter that he had completely analyzed the party he was facing while casually engaging in a conversation. A true seasoned warrior, always aware of his surroundings, he was probably planning how to engage all of them in the back of his head to be ready to act if something detonated a fight.
This scene feels like the last gasp of GRRM-quality dialogue before the wheels started falling off the show.
That was Olenna and Jaime. S7 was shit but that scene was brilliant.
The Hound was one of the best characters from start to finish. Had a near perfect arc.
I love how the Hound steals his boot before he’s even dead hahaha
That guy that got hanged should feel honored that one of the baddest men walking the earth chose to take his boots & wear them after killing him.
Better is when he looks up whilst holding the boots, with them wriggling on the ropes and says "got anything to eat?"
Love the Hound. He has the best story in the show imo. I wish he had hadn’t died killing his brother.
Me too i thought how his character evolved from just doing what he was told without question to actually having his own morels he deserved a better ending although he was always prepared to die for his revenge.
Beric's voice , 😮😮😮😮 fk me he could talk anything and I'm mesmerised
"We all bloody die. cept this one here"
Theres a reasons hes my favorite
i miss this kind of dialogues in HOTD
"Lemme chop off one hand" lmao dudes a menace.
One of my favorite scenes.
One of the best characters in G.o.t...made to be "scary and brutal" and yet you can feel his good side..👏👏👏
The part where Thoros puts 2 and 2 together about why Sandor is burying the farmer and his daughter was one of the saddest and most beautiful moments in the entire series.
"You're getting old"
"He's not.."
😂 that was brutal but funny
They all bloody die ! Except that one 😆 🤣 😂 my favorite the Hound from GOT
We all bloody die, 'cept this one here. 😂
The way they bargain is legendary
Every second I get older in this world I become more and more like the hound!!
The Hound's character is probably the most relatable in GoT
I'm just waiting for clegane/the hound to say yarp like he did in hot fuzz. 😅
Teh fucken hound, how I miss him. Literally one of my favorite characters ever, for sure in GoT.
In such a terrific, well played scene they kicked it right through the goal posts with Clegane pulling the boots off the feet of the man he just hanged while he's still chocking to death.
This was a fantastic scene.
I could listen dispute between Sandor Clegane and Beric Dondarion all day long.
The hound deserves his own series
