Damn right, Tyrion is not only the best character, a real breath of fresh air, he is also acted by one of the strongest actors in the show. Great episode, . I hear a lot of people saying 'there are no good/bad people in AGOT' but I'm finding it hard not to see the Starks as good, I mean at least they are straightforward.

dear readers: when does something good happen? lots of politics and character set up.. can we expect an action sequence in the next 2-3 episodes? the show is starting to lose me. 4 shows in and the best thing that happened was a boy geting pushed off a ledge =/

As soon as he launched into his tale of “The Mountain and the Hound,” I knew we were in for a shit storm of biblical proportions. San/Sans in for the kill!

#HOUNDGATE

@silkskinned: LITTLEFINGER THAT IS NOT YOUR STORY TO TELL

@Stefichan: THIS IS SANDOR’S STORY TO TELL WTF

@pokertrace: wtf why is littlefinger telling sansa this story?? HATE. >

@vcav: What the fuck I’m so pissed they changed that scene from the book sansa is supposed to hear that story from the hound ugh

@jennnmarshall: Aww, I was looking forward to the Hound telling Sansa that story. Littlefinger’s creepiness factor is A+, tho.

@Allahschild: Always thought jousts were insane. Loved Littlefinger/Carcetti’s story about the Hound.

@mherr1979: Yeah, Littlefinger and Sansa…creepy as fuck

@queenofcrows: Ew, creepy creeper is creepin’. GTFO Littlefinger!

@nnaysayer: #GameOfThrones was great tonight as usual. Casting is pretty spot-on, Littlefinger whispering to Sansa was creeper perfection.

I think it should finally be clear to nearly everyone that the writers—and Rory McCann—are playing a much more subtle, withdrawn, angry-inside character. And in defense of it …

(Not that I think they need it) …

Look, I love GRRM’s version of the Hound; he’s insolent, angry at everything, and more than a little emo when drunk. And it works because there are no other characters like that. He’s unique. However, what works in the book I don’t believe would work onscreen. The impression of time’s passage feels different. You can’t build a badass and then break him down in the fourth episode. Half the time we see him in the first two books, he’s A. drunk off his ass, and B. rambling at Sansa as though she were his psychiatrist. Were I writing it, I would invent a different scene rather than the one where he drunkenly escorts her across the field, stops halfway, and then spills his guts to her. Hell, I wrote the book version in my script outline and it felt wrong. Like we were rushing in to the Hound, getting into his mind too fast. I argue you can’t go there yet. Not all the way. I want a darker, more mysterious Hound.

I think the Hound will clearly have an affinity to Sansa, as evidenced by their encounter outside the inn in episode two. And you can’t go the fast route with an older Hound, as played by McCann. He would seem extremely immature, and I truly believe him spilling his guts so early in the series would hurt the character’s believability.

It’s a slower burn, but I still think it’s a burn. It’s sort of the same thing they’re doing with Cersei, making her more subtle. Really, the only out-and-out loony, emotional characters are Viserys and Joffrey. And I love the Hound too much to see him go that route. Patience.
