Game Of Thrones Season 6: 7 Things You Might've Missed In Book Of The Stranger

Theon may no longer be Reek, but he's still virtually unrecognisable from the brash, arrogant, and untitled Greyjoy who left Pyke to start conquering lands for his father in Season 2.

That was the last time he was home, and the way he sails back to the Iron Islands here mirrors his journey then, and shows how far he's fallen. In the shot below you can see all of that cockiness in his face, the carefree prince returning to his land. Here, he's still completely broken down, and that's further exemplified when he supports his sister, whereas last time he unwittingly tried to sleep with her.
