I agree completely! This is how I felt about The Hound right from the beginning. He is completely misunderstood and I dont think his character is developed enough. But he also blurs the lines between good guy and bad guy. And I kinda feel the same about Theon.

He hasn't done anything good, we've seen him being friendly etc with his foster brothers but even then he was a spoiled stuck up whiny kid. If he gets out of his current situation and learns to deal with his feels appropriately he could be a good guy but as it is he's just a fuckup, not bad to the bone but messed up so much that he might as well be.
Can't really blame him for being that way. His entire life he's been a hostage, taken away from his "real" family. He's failed to be accepted by them every chance he's gotten, and in taking those chances burned all his bridges with his other family (Starks). He could have been saved by simply accepting the Starks as his true family, like he did as of late, but you really can't blame him for trying to be accepted by his birth family.
Theon is one of those cases where even though I feel bad for the guy, I still think he deserves a good deal of what he's gotten (except for losing his manhood).

Meh, I think it's less he's misunderstood and more he doesn't believe the things he's saying. I mean, he was basically breed to be a killer from a young age, and was probably told his whole life he had to enjoy killing. Now that he's grown up, and abandoned the people who made him this way, he's probably reconsidering how he thinks and feels.

I dont want this shit to end anytime soon.
Dont go spoilin my heart.
5 books atm, 2 to come (if he doesn't change his mind once again, he only planned 6 books to begin with) and we are on book 3 atm. Season 1 and 2 were book 1 and 2 respectively, book 3 will be both season 3 and 4 though.
Removed parts ofyour post because they contained mild spoilers, next time if somebody asks about the books just PM please
If it's not this, that strongly implies that every book from now on will be divided in two (or at least, the next three will). This means a ton more GoT. 12 seasons total, easily the most for any HBO show if I'm not mistaken.
I want to see more Sandor. I love his bad ass hedge knight shit Arya will forgive him I hope. Unbelievable that he killed that 12 y/o boy (or whatever his age was). But if it were orders his only choices were either do it or die. Still horrible but I think he struggles with it a bit too. I might even believe Sandor didn't enjoy killing the boy. Regardless that is one heavy burden to carry.
Anyone else kind of disappointed with the White Walkers?
From the opening scene of S01E01, they seemed much like Predators - unpredictable, swift and invisible. Then, the first time Sam sees one, it rides an undead horse and appears much more human-like. Now it looked like a zombie with supernatural powers, but it dies when stabbed with a piece of glass (obsidian). With it's walking pace, it won't be too difficult to just kite one. Or was this just a really old one?
****in sucks that we have to wait two weeks for the next episode. But again, they're not gonna waste the a good episode on a terrible rated weekend in years past(memorial day)
EPT
