...but I was wrong. Cersei has blossomed into the main human villain, the one we love to hate and who grabs our attention every time she pops into the screen! Urine G. is going to be a supporting player, and not much of one, nobody seems impressed with him so far.

And Lena Heady makes Cersei utterly fascinating and fabulous! I mean she's always been terrific in the role, but lately she's finding new depths in the character, depths of irrationality and cruelty and rage and passion that make Ramsay Bolton look he was created by a nasty little boy. Ooh, I'm going to enjoy the reign of Wicked Queen Cersei!

It's Euron Greyjoy, but since I don't care much for the character, I like your spelling better.

It's perplexing that you get all that depth from Heady despite her limited expression repertoire. She either displays a constipated sneer, a constipated smirk or she's attempting some type of histrionics i.e. screaming, wailing, screeching etc...

To be honest, we always know how her scenes and even arcs will play out so I find her rather boring.

I expect Urine will be the next side villain next to Cersei. I'm not sure how he'll compare to the likes of Ramsey or Joffrey...but yes sir, Urine Greyjoy is our next villain.

Urine is supposed to be the big bad Ramsay 2.0 but his introduction this season was more laughable than menacing.

I think Urine Greyjoy (epic spelling) is too crazy to last too long. Other than killing people and laughing maniacally I don't really see him playing the Game in a sophisticated enough fashion to endure. All the real nuts seem to get bumped off pretty quick though so I think he will too. Probably Cersei will kill him for the affrontery of suggesting marriage.

Or maybe Jamie will kill the SOB on his wedding night, he doesn't want a creep like that touching his sister!

Just as long as someone kills him and soon, he's pretty lame.

Way, way back in S1 it was established that Theon Greyjoy has one skill: archery. But he's rarely used it since then.

I'm calling it: Euron falls by Theon's arrow.

[–] Otter (24464) 7 years ago

That would be okay!

It would be especially okay if Theon also gives Euron's whangdoodle the same treatment as Theon's got from Ramsay Bolton, anything to get that douche off the show.

He knows what he's doing. Cersei's plan is to string him along until after the war when she doesn't need him anymore, then refuse to marry him and probably have him killed. But he already knew this and has similar plans- he will become so popular that she is forced to marry him, then he has to get rid of Jaime and the Mountain. After that, he can do whatever to Cersei and there will be no one left to retaliate.

He's supposed to do some horrible things in the coming episodes as to stir fan hate.

[–] Otter (24464) 7 years ago

Horrible things probably won't be enough to make him entertaining, or scary.

He just comes across as a massive douche.

[–] TexasJack (12515) 7 years ago

While they are both irredeemable sociopaths, I think he is pretty funny in a way that Ramsay wasn't. I mean, that bit with Jaime in the throne room was hysterical. "Not now, we’ll talk later.”

[–] Otter (24464) 7 years ago

I have to admit, "...they just like severed heads" was a good line.

He's still a massive douche and I want him off the show sooner rather than later, though.

You think she's terrific? I pity Headey right now. She's giving her best for a character who is just a shadow of what she used to be. She's now exactly like her son and the Bolton bastard: an utterly predictable one-dimensional meanie. That has to be so boring to play.
