I'm done plowing through the A Song of Ice and Fire books, the three that there are. I'm *still* cheering for Sandor Clegane, younger brother of The Mountain That Rides, the one with his face all burned. And I'm cheering for Tyrion the dwarf. And obviously I'm cheering for Dany -- she's got dragons. I always cheer for dragons. Lest all ya'll rush to inform me that Sandor's dead, left under a tree by Arya, let me state for the record that it is NOT CLEAR that Sandor Clegane is dead yet. He could yet live. I'll be over in Clan Denial until book 4 is out and we know for sure that he's dead. That may well be some time...

dude, Sandor is clearly not-dead-yet.

He has to be alive so Arya can come back as a crazy assassin, try to kill him, and have Sansa stop her so Sansa can proclaim her unlikely love for Sandor.

Um.

Not that I'm projecting or anything.

Then explain the film booth and the high-wattage lamp.

Sansa is definitely thinking Sandor is her protector. Too bad she's too shallow to see beyond the face and the assorted acts of cruelty to appreciate that he's one of the more interesting characters in the book. *sigh* He'd be a better choice than Joff. Hell, Tyrion wasn't a horrible choice. He was interesting, too. For someone who goes on about a lady's honor and duty, she didn't do hers towards her husband. (The fact that she didn't choose the marriage or the husband doesn't really matter. Once she's married, he is her husband and she should do her duty towards him, special emphasis on the obey portion.)

*sigh*

They might as well just hook her up with that pansy knight. Sir Loras, I believe. The pansy... no, wait, my bad. The Knight of Flowers. He could do the courtly love thing and he's pretty enough that it'll take her quite a while to figure out he's not interested in the other kind.

Even if Sandor's dead, that isn't exactly a narrative show-stopper in the world of Fire and Ice. Although I'm not exactly sure Sandor's interesting qualities will survive an Otherfication, or whatever the hell it is that Martin's doing with RevenantCatelyn.

Poor Tyrion. He's a Bujold character in a Martin world. It's highly ironic that Sansa was so big on her Fool-Knight fantasies, and then when she gets married to an honest-to-God example thereof, she gets distracted by an old drunk instead.

Wonderful way to put it!
