Personally I wasn't shocked by the Hound robbing the old farmer. It was completely in his character. He wasn't an "honorable" (missing the word) character and Arya repeatedly mentioned she wants to kill him. I loved the way she departed from him and didn't kill him. It was both noble and worse...
Just finished season 4. It really upset me they killed Shae. I imagined she would be back with Tyrion.
They made sense together, both being outcasts. I even imagined them both alive at the very end of the series
and becoming King and Queen!
It’s maybe the way it was done that didn’t work for...
