Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Characters Who Should Be Killed Off
4. Reek
When we were first introduced to Theon Greyjoy he was the smiling Stark ward who stood alongside his adopted brothers. What he devolved into was angering until it just became pitiful and depressing. No one on the show has undergone more torture and humiliation than the "man" now known only as Reek. Going from a son of Balon Greyjoy and then an honorary member of House Stark to becoming the disfigured toy of a madman who treats torment like his favorite childhood game is quite the fall. Reek's rescue of Sansa Stark at the close of Season 5 was the slight bit of redemption the character needed, but not so much that we can forgive him for murdering his friends and burning to death two innocent children. Let us not forget the atrocities he committed while trying to curry his father's favor, otherwise we might start to feel sorry for the little guy. It's a credit to Alfie Allen's tremendous acting ability that he's managed to become a sympathetic figure at all. If he and Sansa survive their jump from the wall - and I'm sure they will - then once he gets her to safety what's left for him? With the rumored inclusion of a Greyjoy-heavy plot this season, could Reek's death be the very thing that awakens the Iron Islands and gets them back into the fight?
