The problem with this whole scene is thathe does not look at all like he is going to die, making it all ambiguous.
His mouth is filled with blood, his head is half smashed in, ear bitten off, he has a compound fracture through his leg. Just flesh wounds I guess.

It partly has to do with the times. There are no ambulances or quick to appear doctors. He is basically just going to lay there and bleed to death for hours and hours which is why he wants her to finish him quickly.

His head isn't half smashed in

his ear being bitten off is a minor physical injury he won't die from it alone.

He does have a compound fracture, and most likely several other fractures from the fall.


I recommend you don't leave him around a rescue Pitbull.

Plus Stannis does know that he is there to do something about the white walkers. Right?

Not just the wildings north of the wall, who he's just attacked. They're doing what they're doing to get away from the white walkers ( mostly, I figure those cannibal fuckers are just in it to cause chaos ).

So Stannis knows the difference between the two forces, right?
This is why I don't really enjoy the show. You get none of the behind the scenes on why Stannis chose to take his army north of the wall or Davos's arguments convincing him to do it - just LOL knights are here.

Since there is a Maester trying to do a zombie mountain, I'll assume the story takes place in a world where a trained fighter is able to do some field work like applying a tourniquet. He does that, and suddenly he has hours to crawl back to his horse or to the road or simply call for help (the very knightly Brienne would probably help him rather than than finishing him or leaving him to die).

Oddly enough Arya not finishing the job Brianne started was her removing him from the list of people she wanted to kill to me, remember she said she would kill Joffrey with a chicken bone if she had to and didn't care how she killed the people on her list as long as they died. Unless we find out later in the book her motivation for not finishing off the hound its just speculation.

Agreed, I don't think she spared him as an act of harm.

It was kind of her way of saying "I have forgiven you and no longer wish to kill you myself."
He will probably die anyway, a lot more painfully than she would have done it, but it won't be at her hand.

Then you don't like the show because you don't pay attention. Davos didn't tell him to go north of the wall, the red witch did. There is no reason to think he would argue with her about it at this point.

as mentioned, in the show he went north because the red woman told him that's where the true battle against the great other (ie the enemy of her red god, can't remember if she used the term great other) was going to be.

EDIT: NO BOOK SPOILERS OR TALK, SPOILED OR NOT ~ Thank you.

When the Hound was lying there, didn't he go on a mean rant about the way he killed the Butcher's son back in season one. Talking about how he had pleaded for his life and made a mess by bleeding all over the horse.

The Hound's killing of the Butcher's son was Arya's primary reason for wanting him dead. So this last rant of his might have un-did the 'good points' he'd built up.

He said that because he realized she wasn't going to finish him, he did it to try and make her do it.

Charles Dance avoids anything about the books also. I think when you do this stuff professionally for so long you tend to trust your writers and directors to do their part and you do yours. Depending on the actor trying to supplant them by studying the book, forming your own opinion and knowing what's going to ultimately happen could be counter-productive.
