I despise Emilia Clarke's acting, but I liked her in this scene.

Yeah, seems like kinslaying is seen as pretty cool in Westeros, after all.
Sand snakes kill their uncle and cousin.
Ramsay kills his father.
Euron kills his brother and literally the first command he gives as king of the Iron Islands is: "let's murder my nephew and niece".
They only needed some looney Tunes music and it would be perfect.
I thought he was going to say cousin. Does he not know?
I'm preety sure a perfect lord candidate who was capable of bringing the Greyjoys to big levels drowned in that ceremony. That is why Greyjoys are always losers. They drowned their potential king.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
Whats wrong with the Iron Islands?

lmao so true
I think so too but I much prefer the iron born picking Euron through sheer fear of the horn than this cheap speech.
I thought that scene was great myself.
I'm lost about how they fucked up the iron islands. Euron wants to give a giant fleet of ships to Dany.
Does anyone still believe that Euron and Daario are the same person in the books?
This guy is an imposter and Daario is the real Euron.
Or not.

So Tyrion is making the same mistake Cersei did, except worse cause these priests actually have magic powers n shit.
Euron coming out and admitting he killed Balon? And Aeron embracing him takes away one of the huge subplots. As much as I make fun of it, "no godless man may sit the Seastone Chair" adds an important undercurrent.
There's no Aeron in this show. That's just a random priest.

I love Pokken!
Kinvara is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
As much as I'm tired of these killing people in plain sight and admitting to it plots, I really don't want to spend time waiting for characters to figure out who killed someone.
Balon's dead any way you look at it, and the Greyjoys are killers, so it makes sense that his brother killed him.

Agreed.
That speech was shite. Though in all fairness, so was Yara's. I know they folded Victarion into her, which is why she is supposed to be a great warrior and such, but I loved her appeal in the books so much more, where she walked up and poured out chests of shitty acorns and whatnot, cause she's been helping conquer and hold the mainland of the North, so she knows it's rubbish.
The show has been removing so much factionalism out of the plot.
-Fuck the lords in Westeros. A hot queen should rule. We will side with her if you make me your king.
-I was dying but fuck that.
-I just became the king of Iron Islands.
-Time to kill my niece and nephew.
-Holy shit shit they're gone with our best ships.
-Let's build new ones and catch them!
Yeah,Iron Islands could be done better...

That shit was never making the show. Come on now.
Shireen was cured.

Book canon is not show canon.
But, no. I'm not into any blank=blank theories.

He is credited as Aeron as far as I know. They just never mention his name for some reason.

is hbonow fucking up for anyone else? keeps freezing
Subtitles said Aeron.
I just feel it takes away from the importance that kinslaying has in this culture. "The kinslayer is forsaken in the eyes of gods and men". He then tries to go kill his nephew and niece. I guess it makes for better TV storytelling but it feels so incongruent.
If they bothered to spend more than two minutes on the Kingsmoot it may well could have. I'm no puritan about the adaptation but I really feel they've done this plot a disservice.
More like remission. Supposedly can only be done in children.

Just me or did they foreshadow Arya possibly going after Tyrion?

I believe Greyscale was only ever stopped in children, and it still leaves the scars (as evidenced by Shireen).
Maybe it only works on virgins. In which case Jorah could still make it.

Nah, lets go and make a fleet with the zero trees that are on the Iron Island fam. Euron in the show is terrible. In the books he takes the throne because he's mystical and terrifying and not a know kinslayer. In the show he wins the kingsmoot because he just killed a beloved king/brother and has a crazy plan?

Yeah like... why even tell the story of the Rat Cook?
In fact, I find it absolutely hilarious that the son of Rickard Karstark, who accused Robb Stark of slaying his kin, stands by and watches as Ramsay commits kinslaying with his own father... and still supports him.
It's her eyes. Well, at least for me.

Night King's mark feels like a cheap way to get them out of the tree hole.
I wonder if the book will do that too. I mean, where exactly are they going to go? They have literally nowhere to go.
