Calming my ass

[paraxdisepink]

So I may have thrown multiple tantrums about a certain scene being removed/altered from last week's Game of Thrones. You know, the Most WTF Walk-you-back-to-your-door Ever scene? It is one of my favorite scenes from the first book, between two characters who are among my favorites in the series, and I'm still a little pissed about the glory of it

The scene I'm talking about is between Sansa and Sandor Clegane the Hound. I know it's hard to imagine this early in the story anyone including Sansa among their favorites, but I went from hating her with a fiery passion to finding her extremely fascinating by the end of the first book. I don't really think the show is doing her justice thus far.

Anyway, but you know the scene where Littlefinger tells Sansa about the Hound and his brother and how Sandor became disfigured? Well, in the book, Sandor himself tells her when the prince (he's the prince's bodyguard - dunno if you guys got that) orders him to escort Sansa from the tourney grounds back to the castle late at night. It's great in that the Hound tells her this big secret about himself completely out of nowhere, because they have no relationship or history at this point apart from the scene where she backs into him and he notes that she's shaking and asks her if he frightens her so much, and it's one of those unexpected moments where a background character becomes really interesting for better or worse and she becomes more sympathetic.

Theon is Theon Greyjoy, the ward/hostage at Winterfell usually hanging out with the older brother. He's an ass, but he was supposed to be better looking.

Thanks for the info!

Theon is Theon Greyjoy

I'd caught his last name, but not his first. Thanks again! :)
