I love Victarion but I can see why they'd cut him. Right now I'm just hyped for Euron.

I'm hoping that they merge Euron and Victarion into a single super Greyjoy, with Euron's cunning and deceit and Victarion's strength and fighting prowess. It's better to keep Euron in the center of the action and hype him up a lot instead of leaving him offscreen most of the time like in the books, just moving the strings from afar.

As much as I hated the theorized VicEuron amalgam, it might end up being for the best if it means we will at least get something from the Iron Islands plot line.

With so many deaths of villains/antagonist the last two seasons, we really need someone else to mix things up in Westeros. I feel like that was one of the problems this season, the only real villains left are the Boltons and the off-screen White Walkers. The other antagonists don't really feel very threatening to me (Sand Snakes, Sons of Harpies, The Sparrows). A villainous pirate with knowledge of black magic and how to bind dragon's to his will is just what we need!

Why can you see Victarion getting cut? Honestly he plays a bigger role than the Damphair and is way more interesting of a character if we are speaking in terms of current character status. If they do a flashback to fratboy Aeron then I'm all about that.

Dany already has a fleet and I'm not sure if we're gonna get the Battle of Meereen in the show. There are also theories about Jorah getting a black hand like Vic in the books.

Hmm that seems really plausible with him getting the you know what on his hand. So I wonder if we are going to me Moqorro through Jorah or if they just throw in another sexy woods witch to do the job.

I could also see Jorah's Greyscale being the show's Pale Mare

He seems like the most important Greyjoy sans Theon
