17. The Hound Vs The Mountain
The Hound is back and he’s ready to kick some ass. Or, you know, jam an axe up someone’s groin. And whose groin are we hoping he goes after? The Mountain! That came out wrong, but you get my point.
A poet when it comes to language of the cuss kind, The Hound hates his brother with every living fiber in his being. Now that Gregor Clegane is a Frankenstein monster of some sort ready to do all of Cersei’s bidding without question, there’s no doubt that a battle between the towering colossus that killed Oberyn Martell will come face to face with the rogue butcher of Westeros, Sandor Clegane! Now, there’s no motive for The Hound to go up against Cersei because as we all know, he couldn’t give less of a sh*t about the Iron Throne and whatnot, but there’s a little someone who has a bone to pick with the Queen. Yes, Arya Stark has a list, and Cersei is on it. And there’s no way the show will go on without a reunion between The Hound and Arya, so he might as well escort her himself to King’s Landing in an attempt to help her exact vengeance on the Lannister matriarch. That’s when Gregor will get in the way, and that’s when Sandor will step in to settle this rivalry for good, and that’s when we’ll ring the bell as the Cleganebowl finally gets underway!
