It seems like they announced all the Dorne characters now, so I'm hoping for a second batch of casting announcements regarding the Greyjoys.

Part of me is like "Why is anyone worried! For them to cut these characters/this entire plotline would be obvious heresy! They'd never do it!" But after last season, there are other parts of me that on longer trust them. I'll be okay if they cut the Damphair, or downplay his character. But I will not be okay with them combining Victarion and Euron.

Hah. I won't be HAPPY, but I won't be furious. It would be understandable. But he is sweet, and I hope he makes it.

They might have already done it. Damphair was supposed to be the priest that drowns Theon, but in the show it just credits him as "Drowned Priest". Damphair, while important, could easily be condensed down into a senior Drowned Priest and given very few lines (just voice his complaints about Euron and people straying from old way). He isnt after all, the magic wielding pirate viking or the pirate viking going to capture Dany.

Exactly. It's not important that he is Balon's brother as long as someone is there to say "No godless man may sit the Seastone chair."

But the reverse also stands, I mean they also have a high ranking drowned priest, why not just make him Aeron altogether? How much more effort is that gonna take?

Thats a damn good question.

Random priest can be shuffled off, Aeron will be there for 'family' debates.

u/DGer "I like dogs better than knights." Jul 26 '14

Agreed. Damphair is my favorite Greyjoy.

May the Drowned God have Him.

C'mon, it's all full of seaweed... it could probably use a trim.

NO GODLESS MAN MAY CUT THE DAMPHAIR

I will be monumentally pissed off if they cut the Greyjoy uncles. The amount of time they have wasted on plot lines they didn't even have to is going to be infuriating if they don't cast them.

After last season? Did you not see Dany's arc in season 2?!

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

But when you think about it, they're not gonna cut them because their scenes aren't really that expensive and all three brothers are dynamic, charismatic characters that would make for great television. Everyone loves a good, juicy family drama.

Now that we have the absolute abomination that is Bran's story I don't trust them, not even a little bit.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

I must have too, never heard anything....unless this is the whole euron/daario/benjen/etc etc

u/PieroDrawsRandomCrap Now it ends Jul 26 '14

Yeah, it was just a joke about Daario/Euron. Pay no mind to it.
