He'll be the latest victim to the "career defining" character that no one can get past, much like his predecessors Mark Hammill, Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Paul Gosselaar, and Jaleel White.

The more I think the more I get annoyed.
Why is grey worm dictating to the lords of Westeros about Jon? And how they should proceed with a king(or not?) makes absolutely no sense.
Especially as Sansa explains to him clearly they’ve a far bigger army outside and hell unleashed if jon is harmed.
Then the worm manages to get jon sent to the wall? And they all agree? Even though he has a rightful claim and gendry has an even better claim and they’re both not exactly busy
Uuuggghhh

I loved the scene where Euron killed his brother. Didn’t mind the actor, the role was ok. Do prefer Victarion.
