The whole build up to the fight was great. The Hound, Beric, Thoros, Arya...all fantastic.No mention of the Hound ? Couldnt ask for better casting and his rant with Beric was fantastic

Her friend that the Hound ran down as punishment for the attack on Joffrey.What were the events Arya was refering to when charging The Hound with murder? It did not ring a bell.
The guy she had the stick sword fight with. Remember as Ned went out to kill Sansa's wolf he saw the dead kid slung over the back of the Hounds horse. "He ran.. not very fast" or something to that effect.What were the events Arya was refering to when charging The Hound with murder? It did not ring a bell.
How did that play out? ... Arya was the one who hit Joffrey and to avoid the humiliation he blamed the other kid? It's tough to be The Hound!The guy she had the stick sword fight with. Remember as Ned went out to kill Sansa's wolf he saw the dead kid slung over the back of the Hounds horse. "He ran.. not very fast" or something to that effect.
Season 1, when Ned was acting Hand, he ordered Beric Dondarrion to ride out of King's Landing and arrest Gregor Clegane for war crimes. That's Beric with the eyepatch.Was this the first introduction of the guy who is going to fight the hound? Or am I just totally blanking out on seeing him before?
Charles Dance crushes Tywin. It's a shame though that book Tywin is such a monster, Dance just can't channel that part of him; he's the consummate perfectionist patriarch. Losing a character with his gravitas is certainly going to swing the show in a strange direction.So many good scenes...Personally, I thought one of the best scenes was Tywin's response to bitch face.
"You should try to stop him when he wants something." (Cersei giving Tywin a smug look.)
"I will." (Tywin conveying all the emotion and figurative power of a full on bitch slap with just those two words.)
God damn, Charles Dance is awesome.
I'm watching this season with my wife and her friend. The friend commented after the show: "Well that episode was awesome, too bad this show is just the 'Robb Stark Show'" I can't wait for the Red Wedding. Oh so good.I'm thinking the wave of shock and butthurt that will wash over the internet after the Red Wedding episode is going to be a thing to behold.
