Your name is Reek!


I know its not meant to be funny, but I just couldn't help laughing. Maybe I'm just a sadist at heart. :)

It's Iwan Rheon. I've also found he's been able to inject some much-needed humor into those scenes. That certainly doesn't help poor Theon, but I think it makes it easier for the audience to handle. It does for me at least.

I'm of the same opinion, that whole sequence of scenes, especially the "Reek" thing really, really made me laugh hard. His character is such a slimy, perverted coward, and it was funny to see how into his torture the interrogator was. Gotta respect a man who has passion in his work.

Wow..I am on my second run through of Season 4 and honestly, Allen has obviously been tortured before or did some real education on how a victim can get so f-ed up to the point of "loving" his captor. Or, don't you think? I hated this character in previous seasons but now I am just fascinated of the visible pain that Allen protrays(his eyes are popping out of his head!). Ok.ok...that's a bit deep but he still has my attention a bit more than wondering who is Arya's next victim..😒

I think seeing him damaged like this is fascinating. He was an awful character but now he is so freaking damaged that I do feel really sorry for him. I agree the way he portrays the character is just perfect in my opinion!
