Anyone else annoyed as hell that we're getting Euron Greyjoy so late? He was mentioned and in the books plenty, Kingsmoot a huge deal but the show didn't give a fuck about him til last season. He wasn't even mentioned in the show beyond 'your uncles sacked the riverlands' in one episode and that's it.

I think the showrunners really fucked up by focusing on Dorne instead of the Iron Islands, trying to cash in on the Oberyn Martell fandom. George RR Martin had to have sat them down and said 'hey dumbasses the Greyjoys are a big deal to the end game' or something. It's similar to their handling of the children of the forest. They're hardly mentioned, appear in one episode, then it's revealed they created the White Walkers. Ridiculous oversight to not spend more time on the mythology.

It'd be interesting to hear what goes on behind the scenes.

You're absolutely right that the Iron Islands should have been in, instead of Dorne. But those are the sins of S4-5.

IIRC, one of the reasons we went to Dorne was not just because of Oberyn, but because of Ellaria's actress. Indira Varma apparently really impressed B&W. So... yeah.

Though personally, my inner book fan is kind of annoyed with the fact that he's referred to as 'Euron Greyjoy' instead of 'Euron Crow's Eye'...
