MARTIN: The Hound is a killer.
He's very blunt about what he is.
I mean, there's that great scene in season two
in the Blackwater episode between him and Bronn
that David and Dan added to that episode
where the Hound is mocking Bronn saying, "We're both killers.
"You like killing just as much as I do."
But then fire proves his undoing.
He can't overcome his fear of fire in the Battle of the Blackwater
and he winds up telling Joffrey to get fucked,
and, you know, quitting the Kingsguard and running off.
And here he sees Arya. Arya is a prisoner.
But when she knows where he's going, she wants to go with him
because he's gonna get her home. That's what she's wanted from the beginning.
She set out with Yoren who was going to take her to Winterfell.
But then their column gets cut down by Amory Lorch and Yoren gets killed
and then she's kind of stuck in the power of the Lannisters for a while.
Then she's with the Brotherhood and she's hoping that they'll take her home
but they don't seem to be in any great rush to do so.
Yeah, she'll go along with the Hound.
The Hound's on her list, of course,
but as they hang around together,
she starts to question whether she should kill him or not.
