SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 8, episode 4 ahead…
During the latest episode of Game Of Thrones, while everyone was having a whale of a time; drinking mead like it was going out of fashion (and the odd coffee), our friend The Hound was feeling a little blue. Yeah, a load of his mates had just been killed by those damn white walkers, but he was still alive and the undead were now officially dead. So what’s with the long face, Hound?
Later on, we saw The Hound – real name Sandor Clegane – riding away from Winterfell with vengeance in his eyes. But where was he going? Well, he ran/rode into Arya Stark and simply said two words: “Unfinished business.”
Viewers are now convinced that this “unfinished business” comment is to do with his big bastard of a brother, Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane.
If you remember correctly, The Hound isn’t The Mountain’s biggest fan, which isn’t that surprising considering that when they were both young (but presumably huge) boys, The Mountain caught The Hound playing with a toy of his and punished him by pressing his face into a fire; scarring him for life.
Fans have predicted a huge fight between the brothers for a number of series now; even coming up for a name for it: Cleganebowl.
We know that The Mountain is at King’s Landing with Cersei Lannister, so we’d take a punt that that’s where we’ll see The Hound next – hopefully holding the handle of an axe with the sharp, pointy bit wedged in The Mountain’s cranium.
Dream big, guys.
