6. Cleganebowl Yes: The Road To Revenge

This self contained vendetta may be a great way to break up the greater plot which has kicked into overdrive this season. The slow, methodical pace in which Sandor limps across the country could provide an excellent source of slow burn tension and this progression may not only give audiences a chance to catch their collective breath, but give them something to focus on that isn't the big endgame.

A cool aside like this would accent the chaos the world is being flung into and can provide a good way to illustrate the effects of people's actions in King's Landing and beyond. There is always a risk that they may decide to skip the journey altogether, make the road too smooth or too bumpy, but the negatives far outweigh the positives here.

We have a road that could lead to revenge or redemption. It would make more sense if alliances were made to ensure that Sandor gets to his objective or at least use some timely turmoil to slip by unnoticed. It could even be an acceptable way to reunite some old travelling companions...
