Game of Thrones season 7: The Hound’s redemption arc is turning him into an essential character

 




 "It’s a bit premature to put much stock into the notion that Clegane may in fact be Azor Ahai, which has been gaining steam recently, but perhaps where there’s smoke there is indeed fire (and a flaming sword). The show has trimmed down its regular cast of characters considerably, especially those who aren’t members of the three central families. And yet not only did Benioff and Weiss bring the Hound back last season, but he also got considerable screen time in “Dragonstone,” laying the groundwork that the Hound’s personal growth and enlightenment may end up playing a bigger role in the war to come than his brute strength and killer instinct ever could have."
