…Euron Greyjoy. "Despite my dearest wish that Mads Mikkelsen (now freed up from Hannibal … all the tears …) would be cast as Euron Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, he's been a little busy with Star Wars and Doctor Strange. Fine. So instead, the production has brought aboard another Dane, Pilou Asbæk (Lucy) to play Theon/Reek's (Alfie Allen) uncle. Game of Thrones has largely skipped over the Iron Island storylines of the Greyjoys, which appear at length in the book A Feast for Crows. There, readers were introduced to Balon's brothers (Balon is Theon's father), Victarion and Euron. While Victarion is known as being very religious (and fairly boring), Euron, a.k.a. the Crow's Eye, is a handsome and fearsome warrior (with an eyepatch!) Cunning and hateful towards his brothers, Euron is vicious wild card among the already largely unstable Greyjoys, and should be an intriguing addition to the cast.

Though I wasn't a huge fan of the Greyjoy chapters in the book series, I think this is one area where the show could make them a lot more interesting) Indeed. I was pretty happy HBO had apparently cut them completely. Oh well. Here's hoping they find a way to make it interesting/meaningful. |

The War of the Iron Islands Succession and Arianne Martel were some of the most BORING chapters in the books.
After Sam's sea voyages. And Tyrion being drug across Esteros with Penny. Apparently, since George hasn't finished Book 6 YET, they are just treading water in Season 6. I am not happy that they have dredged up those wasted chapters. |

Funny the Greyjoys were the only part of the last book I really liked. Was hoping the fleet made it all the way to Slavers Bay, but then George stopped writing about it. |
