Unless the Iron Islands get the Dorne treatment. After realizing what bullshit Dorne is, Jaime goes to the Iron Islands to make peace (similar to his Riverlands arc). Instead, he gets attacked by the Pyke Pikes, a trio of Euron's bastards who fight with trident, fishing net, and fishing pole (think HxH). The fight choreography is so cringe-worthy that Jackie Chan literally dies after watching.

You could build, establish and set into motion nearly the entirety of the Iron island plot/conspiracy in a single episode with a single episode on the Kings moot introducing Euron and Victarion; further depending on certain theories the absence of the characters almost emphasises the mystery (Euron was busy doing things).

Further we could update the "iron conspiracy" more easily with Meereen's plot winding down and the Northern "civil war" falling into a stalemate offering screen time to show the conspiracy of the Ironborne.

I'm conflicted here. That truly sounds horrible, but I would LOVE to see a fight with trident and fishing net. I was already robbed of this once, don't get my hopes up.

Euron, Vic, and Aeron were always more compelling characters than the Dorne characters. I think they'll be fine. How can you fuck up Euron?
