The Iron Islands AFFC plot is coming up tonight.

Here's to hoping they don't fuck it up like Dorne.

But there is no Victarion, which is a bummer. But there is Euron, Asha (Yara ~ who will most likely take over Vic's role)) and Aeron.

I expect tonight for BalonWatch to end, and the episodes afterwards will be a dimmed down version of rhe Kingsmoot. Eitherway, I'm excited to see how it plays out.

But the fact Euron won't have an eye-patch is upsetting to say the least (RIP the Crow's Eye nickname)

It was generally pretty good. Robert Strong makes me giddy, and I love it.

The Roose death was a tad bit ridiculous. It felt more like a 'cheap shock' more so than anything else. It didn't feel like it was part of the natural flow of the story. And I'm hoping his death will be a bit more 'grandiose' in the books.

I was predicting that Jon Snow comeback so hard, and I got super excited when the focus went to Ghost (Thinking the Jon wargs into Ghost theory was going to become true), but then the cliche thing happened. Which was a bummer. It probably would have been my most favorite ending in a long time if it had been Ghost. But whatever, I'm still convinced about that theory in regards to the book plot.

Euron not having an eye-patch still really irks me. And I dunno how I feel about them showing straight away that Balon was pushed. Book readers had to specualte (and technically still are) about if Euron pushed Balon or not for more than 15 years! And the show watchers straight away find out with Euron's introduction. I would have liked the show to have built upon that. Kind of like a 'Lysa Arryn reveals she poisoned Jon Arryn' type reveal later on in the series.

It was a pretty strong opening to the Iron Islands plot though, and it makes me pretty excited! Still pretty bummed about Victarion though. But with Theon going home and most likely arriving there the same time the Kingsmoot will start will most likely mean that Theon will take over Victarions role. Which I can live with. As long as Asha/Euron aren't the only contenders for the Seastone Chair (why did they change it to the 'Salt Throne'?') than I'll be happy.

But this episodes was BY FAR better than the premiere. So that's a plus side.

And also, the Bran scenes were super stellar, I loved that!

I remember skyping with Brian once when he was shitface drunk, and he was going on this rant about how much he hated Bran. I did not agree with him. lol.

But I'm glad to see atleast some Bran love from you Brian! I've been waiting for that tbh!

But I'm honestly ready for some cat of the canals/trek to oldtown meetup shit to happen! (:

Hopefully.
