I don\u2019t know why, but for whatever reason, I\u2019m getting a tremendous amount of Game of Thrones<\/em> clips being fed to me on social feeds.\u00a0 Perhaps it\u2019s because of the announcement of House of the Dragon\u2019s<\/em> second season is coming in the summer, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 I definitely fall into the category of fans that were largely unimpressed with how the television series came to an end, but seeing a cavalcade of GoT clips from seasons before the ending, did remind of just how brilliant the show was prior to its conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n It almost makes me want to marathon the entire series all over again, but after watching eleven seasons of Shameless<\/em> in short order, I\u2019m definitely not wanting to commit a ton of television time on something that I\u2019ve already watched before, especially since my queue of things to watch is already about three year\u2019s worth of content long, so I\u2019ve been fairly content to just scroll and imbibe on short clips for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n I would say that throughout the show, I tended to favor a lot of the side characters over the core cast.\u00a0 I\u2019m basically pegged as House Stark until I die, but really, my interest and enjoyment of the show always revolved around the happenings of characters that weren\u2019t necessarily from one of the great houses, like Bronn, Brienne, and Sandor Clegane.<\/span><\/p>\n And speaking of the latter, one of my many favorite scenes from the show would be the part where Sandor and Arya go into a tavern, and come across several shithead Kingsguard soldiers, and the Hound basically goes on a diatribe about eating chickens and it culminates with him, and Arya killing all of the soldiers, with Arya getting her sword, Needle back from the one that captured her and murdered one of her friends.<\/span><\/p>\n But it was in this clip that I did notice a comment from another viewer that posted a screen grab of Lurch from Hot Fuzz<\/em>, and making some remark that made the connection that the Hound was Lurch.\u00a0 No fucking way<\/em> was my knee-jerk reaction, but it\u2019s also something that I never thought about before, and staring at the picture of the dim-witted heater of the Sandford Neighborhood Watch, I begin to really see that there\u2019s a possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, next game Googling Rory McCann\u2019s film and television history, and sure as shit, confirmation that Game of Throne\u2019s Sandor Clegane was definitely the same guy who played Lurch from Hot Fuzz.<\/span><\/p>\n Color me amused; the same guy who was Lurch, just so happened to be one of the sneakiest, underrated and complexly most developed character in the entire Game of Thrones television series<\/span><\/p>\n Yarp indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t know why, but for whatever reason, I\u2019m getting a tremendous amount of Game of Thrones clips being fed to me on social feeds.\u00a0 Perhaps it\u2019s because of the announcement of House of the Dragon\u2019s second season is coming in the summer, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 I definitely fall into the category of fans that … Continue reading TIL\u00a0 that the Hound was also Lurch<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[178,41,83,69],"class_list":["post-49827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-game-of-thrones","tag-movies","tag-observations","tag-television"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49829,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49827\/revisions\/49829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
