Euron is so, so terrible.

The character, the actor, the costuming... all horrible

"We had an actor named Alfie Allen," said Benioff and Weiss. "One day last summer he walked into our office stoned and said, 'You know that kid whose dad hates him? The one who gets his pecker chopped off?' 'Yeah?' 'Well,' said Alfie, doesn't it make sense if that pecker stays in the show and becomes Theon's uncle Euron Greyjoy? Where else is he going to go?' 'You're right,' we said. 'That does make sense.' 'And what if my pecker can swashbuckle?' This year, Alfie Allen is collecting two checks from the show."

I know Euron is bad but I can't help but like him. He was so happy in episode two when he raided Dany's navy, and the "Let's go murder my nephew and niece!" line in season six is kind of hilarious. He feels like he's from a different show, but I'd probably watch that different show for the same love-of-schlock reasons I watched True Blood. It was also kind of hilarious that all the other nobles didn't give a poo poo about his little taunt display to Theon, and told him to shut up.

I don't remember who said it, but Rhaegar is obsessed with prophecy and needed to have a third child and couldn't with Elia. Also he is described as a harp playing Chad with a heart of gold that hypnotized women.

Barristan said most of that. But that has barely anything to do with what I said.

Maybe the Greyjoys just have a pathologically-low threshold for what they consider inspiring leadership.

Like signing up for a suicide mission following someone after watching him get his rear end kicked for 3 minutes, knock over the other guy, and then collapse on top of him.

This whole season was a big fat mess, no interesting conflicts left or relationships left to develop.

Also giving the two more groan worthy characters even more screentime.

Game of Thrones is racing to its conclusion at the expense of good writing, which isn't something you can really say about The Walking Dead.

Why are you guys talking about Euron like he's a new thing?

He's Ramsay with a teleporting boat instead of Twenty Good Men.

I'm sure if we had 3 more episodes, half of them would have been him feeding Yara her toenails and letting her fake-escape.

Ironborn only give a poo poo about "strength" so beating their captain counts for basically everything to them. Add in the fact they're all functional traitors with no chance of living if Euron catches them, might as well try and earn some honor on the way out. Their entire life became a suicide mission once their fleet was smashed. This is a group of people that will only follow a king if they can be revived from drowning, they will literally kill competent leadership for a show of "strength".

It would have been better if Theon had just manned up without having to get beaten himself maybe, but I think it is consistent with what we've seen from them. The no dick gag also lasted like 2 or 3 kicks too long, ain't gonna figure it out after the first 1 or 2 huh?

This is basically everything we were promised so rushed or not I dunno what to say to whoever thought we weren't gonna get magical ice dragons, targy incest, and side villains being offed as the show draws to a close.

I know it's an old joke that the books aren't coming out, but I'm fairly confident that Winds will be out eventually and I'm really looking forward to it.

Dream, however, I'm much less certain about. Maybe watching the final season will stir something in GRRM and motivate him... but maybe it will just be a heart attack and we'll only have the show :shrug:

Harton

It's better to assume they are never coming out and then being pleasantly surprised if he actually releases winds. Dream is never coming out though. Honestly can he even finish it in 2? He's on record saying Tyrion isn't gonna meet Danny until halfway thru winds anyway. From what we've seen so far from the show is it possible for him to move the plot along quickly enough for only 1 and a half books before she even leaves Essos? Hope is a lie, shits never going to be finished.
