[Spoilers] Game Of Thrones -Season Eight

[Hobosapien]

Mountain - you're not THAT hard to survive all those stabbings

He was some strange kind of sentient zombie that Qyburn raised from the dead after Oberyn poisoned him during their fight.

Thought 'cleganebowl' was handled pretty well. Mountain retained enough of his former self to put desire to fight his brother over the orders of his queen. Hound laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation when his brother wouldn't 'just ******* die!'.

I didn't like a few things about the episode storywise but can't deny the incredible effort and creativity that went into making it.

Behind the scenes of episode 5

[Hobosapien]

there was a theory that the white horse at the end was actually Bran doing his 3 eyed raven biit

Also a theory that bran was controlling Drogon, trashing the city to get Danaerys branded the mad queen.

Well the kid's got to have something more to give the show than presenting a replica of a 200 year old wheelchair design.

Did the Mountain particularly hate the Hound? He seemed pretty indifferent to him, the Hound certainly hated the Mountain but I do not recall the reverse being the case.

Ok, just caught up with S8Ep 5; my predictions for how things end...

John - Iron Throne
Danny - Killed by Arya
Arya - Dies after killing Danny, not sure how
Jamie - Succumbs to wounds, dies in Cerise’s arms
Cersie - Survives, is banished and loses the baby (her ultimate punishment for someone obsessed with family is to out live them all, see below)
Tyrion - Killed by Danny for standing upto her

I think it goes back to when they were kids and Mountain burning the Hound in the fire, not hatered but malice or jealousy festering

Plus they have history of 'cleganebowl'.

In the first season when King Baratheon organises a jousting event, the Hound steps in to defend one of the knights against the Mountain (may even have been Loras Tyrell who played a more significant part later in the show), and only avoids having his head taken off by the Mountain when the king orders them to stop fighting and the Hound kneels down in submission to the king just as the Mountain takes a swing at him.

Though after that there was only contempt shown by the Hound towards his brother, so the desire to seek him out and exact revenge for the childhood bullying was probably something the Hound wanted to do on his bucket list. He'd already done the KFC bucket by then (hound: "give me all your roast chicken", someone with a roast chicken: "you going to die over a roast chicken?", hound: "someone is").

[woohoo]

I thought that was just because he was a psycho, not because he particularly disliked his brother - although I listened to all of the books rather than read them so some nuances probably escaped me.
