At this point, you can probably start to see the pattern with the ninth episode of a season. This one is definitely one of my favorites. The battle was one of the best to watch in the show. Not to mention Rory McCann did a great job of portraying the Hound as a strong, brave man who also suffers greatly from pyrophobia, especially to the point of freezing; but you still don't doubt him as a strong, brave fighter, or even a scary man to deal with. I think his last conversation with Sansa really started to cement him as my most favorite GoT character :3 Also, Tyrion's friend is called Bronn.
