REEK’D: The Internet Is Roasting GoT’s Theon Greyjoy & It’ll Make You LOL Big Time
Only Foxtel brings you best choice of live sport, new movies, new shows and complete seasons from Australia and around the world, for everyone.
Yesterday’s episode of Game of Thrones gifted us with enough spikey talking points to frame the iron throne. It was a cracking episode that won’t be forgotten quickly.
There are obvious spoilers ahead, so you know, if you haven’t seen the most recent episode, you’ve been warned ya gronk…
The scene that has left Throners absolutely reeling is the final sequence. Viewers were left gasping as Yara Greyjoy was captured by her uncle Euron and her throat about to be sliced like a loaf of olive bread. As Theon is propositioned by his uncle to save his sister, he does what we all dreaded. He jumps off the boat, leaving poor siss to a probable early death. It is savage.
He bailed. He bailed hard. But at least he did it spectacularly.

Viewers did not hold back their feeling towards Theon – he not only committed the ultimate betrayal as his sisters protector but it’s just a dog move.
Most fans seem to be forgetting the fact that Theon is a severely troubled and traumatised young dude, and his time as Ramsay Bolton’s slave Reek still weighs on his mind.
But still, did he have to jump out of that boat like he was doing a bloody cannon ball?!?
The internet is not happy with Theon rn, and the tweets are fucking funny:
So Theon just gonna abandon ship like that, huh?#LatePass #GameOfThrones

On a scale of Theon Greyjoy to Jon Snow, how protective are you of your siblings #GameOfThrones #GoTS7e2

If anyone can't tell, I'm annoyed by Theon Greyjoy's existence. Yara better fucking survive this shit. #GameOfThrones

He had a few defenders.
Tbh, Theon has been through trauma like no other.
I think it is unfair to call out Theon's last action. He's suffering from PTSD y'all, how complex is that to understand? #GameOfThrones

Actually, you can't really blame Theon. He has severe PTSD and it was triggered. Of course he ran. #GameOfThrones

Before being tortured and being castrated, I seriously doubt Theon would have ran from Euron. #GameOfThrones

But mostly people were just PISSED AF that Reek is back.

Let’s hope Theon’s tendency to desert those close to him doesn’t extend to the actor that plays him: Alfie Allen.
