I mean, it's not like Ned was stupid.

Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahahaha!
This comment may have made me laugh hard enough to pee a little:
Poor Ned. It would have indeed been easier to just walk into Mordor.

Wow, even on rewatch, I got super-emotional at the scene where the Hound stands accused.
Edit: I am a bit of an Arya/Hound shipper. RE-EDIT: NOT IN A SEXUAL WAY (boy I really dug myself in it this time...)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
t side-eyes Sean
She's more than young enough to be his daughter. Arya/Gendry, man, not that she, in particular, has any need of a man.

Because books.
I am a bit of an Arya/Hound shipper.
Seriously? She's ... what, twelve?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Needing a man is not so much a factor for me (who does?) but having anything to do with one--nope, no matter how great a dynamic duo they form, the ess in ship is a big ess, and Arya is only little ess-ready.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sansa, if she doesn't need a man, at least believes that she does.
Generally, though, I agree

Hmm... Shipper is maybe not the best word. Yeah, I don't think of it as sexual. NOT THAT CREEPY!

Arya/Gendry
I kind of wonder if this may actually happen in the story eventually. Although lots of other tales from Westeros are filled with "they came so close to true love, but never saw each other again," stories.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hound and Arya will be fun to watch together, but yeah, not so much with the sexual. Yikes.
Arya/Gendry looks like it may develop canon legs but they feel mostly buddy-ish to me. On the show, the characters that have sparked off Arya the best were 1) Tywin Lannister (AGAIN NOT IN THE SHIPPY WAY) and 2) Jaqen H'gar (... actually, once Arya grows up to be, I dunno, 17 or 18 and should she meet up with Jaqen again, I may not be adverse to shipping. Mostly because I found the Jaqen actor lovely to look upon and listen to.)
As for Hound himself, there is pretty big contingent that ships him with Sansa. With actual porn and everything. I see some basis for it, although I think that's been tone down in the series.
