Alfie Allen took me from empathizing with Theon to thinking he was an idiot to absolutely fucking despising him, and then later on made me feel terrible for all the bad things I wished on the character. The man can fucking act.
Edit: Wrote "them" instead of "him." I fixed it. That's fucking unfortunate.
Dude killed it. So much of it was especially hard to watch if you read the books. Martin's description of the agony of a flayed appendage is chilling and detailed. I bet it was tough to write some of that stuff. The best part of season 8 to me was Bran's redeeming words to Theon. Seems to me Bran had exactly the right thing to say to him. Having reviled Theon so much at points, then seeing him mired in shame and misery, it felt really good to hear him being forgiven. It could not have been more perfect. He got to die honorably, as an Ironborn and a Stark.
Edit: "killed it" IN THE GOOD WAY. ALFIE ALLEN KICKS ASS.

Alfie has a fucking bright future ahead of him. It's a shame he wasn't ever nominated or had any submissions put forth.
