So, I stopped watching GOT around the fourth season. But recently, I caught a glimpse of the Grejoy battle sequence on Youtube, and it genuinely re-piqued my interest in GOT. Since Sunday, I’ve probably gone back and watched 5 of the last episodes.
Here’s my perspective as someone who has read all of the books and about 3 1/2 seasons of the show. Euron’s a good charcter in his own right, and he’s going to be a good complement to Cersei, Jaime, Theon and Yara and their story lines. The actor is pretty is good, and his energy really made that scene worth watching.
Yeah, they should have done a better job of integrating him into the show. And if they try and make Euron into the second Ramsey, that would be a mistake. However, if they use Euron to sustain and flesh out the story lines of the characters I mentioned above, he’s definitely worth more screen-time than Bran.
