Game Of Thrones Season 6: 8 Things That Don't Make Any Sense (So Far)
2. Nobody Notices The Theft Of Euron's Ships (Or Cares That He Killed Balon)
The season six episode The Door is pretty fantastic. It features Sansa and Jon's reunion, the origin of the White Walkers, Jorah's admittance to Dany that he loves her and the stunning reveal of how Willis came to be known as Hodor.
It also features the Iron Islands Kingsmoot, in which Euron Greyjoy is crowned as king. It's a fairly epic scene, except for one small problem. Forgiving for a moment how coincidental it is that Euron plans on building a fleet which consists of around one thousand ships and Daario admits in Blood Of My Blood to needing “around one thousand ships”, there's a slightly different issue. Despite how epic Euron's crowning is, it's tough to believe that Theon, Yara and a bunch of defectors managed to steal all of Euron's best ships without a single person noticing. Sure, Euron was being crowned and all...but no-one noticed? Really?
All right, so maybe that is nitpicking, but given how much occurs in this one scene, there's another point to consider. Euron publicly admits to killing Balon and then is instantly elected, despite Kinslaying having been established as one of the hugest taboos in Westeros. Nobody even kicks up a fuss, Euron's just one Theon-based dick joke away from winning everyone over. Perhaps you can forgive Ramsay getting away with killing Roose because he's tyrannical and insane, but even Ramsay chooses to lie about it because of the implications, whereas Euron proudly announces it and is elected King within minutes. Though technically irrelevant, Euron is extremely irrelevant in the books never to admit to killing Balon due to the unforgiveable nature of Kinslaying.
