boojam Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It is one of the things I am definitely watching out for tonight. Do we get a greyjoy brother reference. I am guessing Yara/Asha get's away.... Then is Theon the only Greyjoy we see the rest of the season... I am gonna guess we see the demise of Balon this season... maybe one more episode with Gemma Whelan. Why I am guessing, short of meaty material next season, lots of Greyjoy stuff, I hope, an injection of the crazies would be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Hugh Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I wonder how on-screen Balon's death could happen in all of this. Maybe intro of episode 8, something visual and silent (the storm, the bridge, the silhouette, could be a great intro to the episode). One way could be the much speculated push off the bridge by a faceless man we last saw with Arya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojimbo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I don't see the Greyjoys story getting cut all together. Just the Kingsmoot and Vic. They may just merge Vic and Crows Eye character. Because from what we know already Dany would not need Vics ships as presented in the books. Crow Eye could just sit his ass on the Seastone chair and go unopposed in the show. Then we would still get to see the Shields getting taken, and the horn may or may not be put in another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well, that may be the single most pointless story diversion to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hath4 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Agree but hey it clear we are getting the iron-born storyline in some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodor knows Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Come wif us Theon! You're my Bruva! Boom! Slash! Crash! Slam! Hahaha! - How fast can you run? ... Where's your Bruva? He's not My Bruva... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well, that was extremely silly. LMAO. So, crazy Ramsay just let's them go, alrighty then. And we don't even get to see the dogs chase and kill anyone? WTF. Yeah, butterfly effect in full force. And so, when she meets her brother again, it will be totally anti climatic, because he's already dead to her. And the point of all these changes was what, again? This is needed for TV why again?

Darth Pipes Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Things were going quite well until Ramsay pulled a Mister Burns and released the hounds. It turned out to be a Craster's Keep-type diversion but hey, it was more interesting than a lot of the Ironborn stuff. Yara's speech was excellent though even if it later turned into a "Well, good-bye, folks! Let me know how this all turns out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStark Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 This is needed for TV why again? To show that Theon is completely subservient to Ramsay and won't attempt to escape even when there's a legitimate chance and the rescuer is his own sister.

Benjaario Starkharis Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I think the scene served a purpose, to show that Theon Reek is completely brainwashed, and a throwback to Ramsay's ruse back in season 3 where he pretended to save Theon. Better than Craster's Keep, at least, and much shorter. Oh, and with Yara alive and retreating, the Kingsmoot is totally happening next season. I bet episode 10 will have a scene with Balon dying after he sees a huge fleet approaching Pyke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go joff go Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I just wish they had come up with a better way to get her out there. It would have been better if he just let her go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already got that in the "Ima give Theon a razor and tell him Robb Stark is dead" scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFSalami Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Probably the single worst sequence that has ever taken place in this series. Needless, pointless, and ultimately fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in that scene you got Theon make a conscious decison to avoid being flayed alive. There was no way out for him there. If he had slit Ramsay's throat, Locke would have taken his arm off and Roose would have flayed him alive. Nobody would expect him to strike a blow for freedom in that scene. Rejecting his own sister and a legitimate chance of escape is, however, a shocker. To the non readers at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IB get in, they get to Theon and then, they simply are allowed to run away by Ramsay fucking Bolton? You've got to be kidding me. Not only would the IB not run away like that but Ramsay would never in a thousand years let Asha Greyjoy leave when he could have taken her captive. If we REALLY needed a reminder about Theon being all brainwashed and Reeked out, surely there was some better way than this dumb as dirt plot they created.

tmug Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yara, great speech and all but the next time you do a rescue mission - KILL THE DAMN DOGS!!! I guess it's okay to butcher people, kids and what not but those poor kennel dogs, so damn cute ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really not, there's no POV here remember. The only way they could impress upon the non readers just how far Theon is gone atm, is to have him reject him own family and freedom because he fears Ramsay so much. From what I've seen of non reader forums that storyline achieved the aim of showing Theon's decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
