He did some terrible things and got punished. He suffered a lot. Physically and mentally. But he has changed now. He deserves some respect surely? And also some love?

I've always liked Theon but mainly because Alfie Allen is very underrated. He's one the best actors of the show even when he doesn't has much to work.

I do not like the character too much, but Allen is an incredible actor and plays him amazingly.

He had to fight some strong PTSD to help Sansa escape. To me he was redeemed then.

I truly hated the whole "Reek" subplot, but I kind of like Theon now. You can clearly see that he is consumed by guilt over the enormity of his betrayal of House Stark.

Not love exactly. I might’ve grown to love him but he carries around that aura of cowardice even still and he’s shown regression in his character already. I can’t trust that. But I don’t hate him. I certainly don’t hate him for betraying Robb or killing kids. It was mostly his arrogance early on that made me dislike him. But he lost that once he lost his balls.

He's still alive - unlike Ser Rodrik, Maester Luwin, and the two farm boys... Plus, Jon forgave Theon bringing him a semblance of peace. I would say he's gotten off pretty well already.

I've always been a fan. He's one of the few I'd like to see survive, but I suppose his redemption arc ends with his death. Maybe that's fitting. I don't know. On the contrary, I suspect the once fallen won't fall again. It is an argument for Theon (Reeked), Jon (killed) and Cersei (shamed) to survive the whole thing. I wonder if that would also apply to Tyrion. Probably not since he actually escaped his death sentence.

Yes, he remained a sort of coward even after he managed to help Sansa escape. But he hasn't been an intentionally malignant person after all he went through at the hands of Ramsay. Now it seems he may go to fight the army of the dead and probably help the mankind in some way.

Maybe it’s because we went like 3 straight books without seeing him then once we saw him he was a complete mess. |

I still thoroughly dislike Theon and it annoys me he has survived this long.

I know you love licking her shitty butthole but if that evil psychopath doesn't die in a drawn out truly painful way the entire series will be a failure in the eyes of most viewers. Like at least 40 minutes of her being tortured very graphically is a must. Her surviving would kill any rewatchability for the show and nobody would buy a box set to see one of the most evil characters in tv history get a free pass. I keep hoping the painfully overrated Headey will finally add a new facial expression to her very limited repertoire. I think she may be up to 4 semi different expressions at least. Although 2 are very similar I'll credit her with 4.

That's actually a way to make sure it's remembered forever.
