What's your take on the hound? You think we still going to see a Clegan Bowel? I think Sandor has a major role to play, I hope him and Breann hook up personally.

once upon a time i was 100% convinved we'd get Clegane Bowl, and that the Mountain and the Hound were put on this planet to eventually fight each other. But then Gregor is killed by Oberyn and "the hound" is put to rest by the elder brother on the quiet isle. now I understand that both of those men are still walking around, however their former characters are essentially already both dead.
Qyburn reanimated Ser Robert Strong, in the books it's very strongly hinted and implied that Robert Strong is Gregor's body mixed with parts from a few other bodies (ie: in the books we aren't even sure if he has a head, and there are theories that he actually has Robb Stark's head atop those giant shoulders). and on both books and show we can see that the personality of Gregor has completely changed. whatever is inside Robert Strong is not the same thing as whatever was in Gregor Clegane. Furthermore, i do not see Robert Strong leaving Cersei's side, and I can't see her leaving King's Landing.
As for Sandor Clegane, after he has his live saved by the Elder Brother, its made pretty clear that the entire persona of "The Hound" is dead and gone. Sandor is now on his redemption arc as a character, and I can no longer see him fighting for hatred or revenge, as it would be a complete 180 from the path he's cuurently on, and would render this part of Sander's story as a giant waste of time. I see him assisting the brothers of that isle, and possibly playing a role in the wars to come. But I do not see Sandor heading south to King's Landing.
If Brienne hooks up with anyone in the book, I'm really not sure whom it could be. she is much much uglier in the books than she is portrayed on the show. The only person that maybe would accept her is Jaime, but part of me thinks that Jaime and Cersei will die at roughly the same time, and Cersei's clock is ticking. on the show however, i could see them trying to pair Brienne and Tormund. (personally I'm more excited that GRRM confirmed Brienne was a descendant of Ser Duncan the Tall, and waiting to see exactly what that connection is).
