9 Things You Learn Rewatching Game Of Thrones Season 2
6. Theon Is A Bad, Bad, Bad Man
The torture of Theon and the subsequent rise of Reek is a grim passage in Thrones history. We're now at the point of wanting the sub-human Theon to recover from his ordeal, but in Season 2 you're given a strong reminder of how awful he really was.
Theon arrogantly decided to take Winterfell, a move that would eventually seal his downfall. Included in seizing the castle, Theon botched the cruel beheading of his old mentor Ser Rodrik, he turned down his chance at an unlikely escape route in order to keep Winterfell, and worst of all, he murdered two innocent boys in place of Bran and Rickon.
The next time you see Reek and feel remotely sorry for him, remember what he did to end up in that position.
