Game Of Thrones: 15 Unforgettable Scenes From Season 7

14. The Hound & The Brotherhood

Whatever happened to the rest of the Brotherhood without Banners? By the time we see them at the start of the season, it's just Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr, The Hound, and a small handful of others (most of whom vanish by the time they get to Eastwatch). Did everyone else decide it was getting too cold?

At any rate, the scene where the Three Musketeers wind up in the abandoned farm is one of the most haunting scenes we saw this season, even if you take out the Hound's prophetic vision in the fireplace.

The farm, as keen eyed viewers would be quick to note, belonged to an unlucky father and daughter who showed the Hound and Arya some hospitality when they passed through several seasons ago.

Few moments were as quietly effective this season as the Hound staring at their frozen bodies on the floor of their farmhouse. Despite his nihilistic world view, the Hound has become an unexpected moral center for the show - cynically aware of how awful the world is, but not heartless enough to forget an act of generosity from his past.
