He is really great in Game of Thrones.


... and under appreciated at that. His acting as 'Reek' / Theon Greyjoy this season (and all previous seasons) is out of this world. He really conveys the characters inner struggle with self-hatred and his identity being left out on the table. Every nuance, facial, physical and vocal is perfect. I really have to hand it to Alfie for making Theon a character I can empathize with though he made stupid mistakes; like burning Winterfell. However, unlike a lot of people who do bad things on that show he shows remorse all too well and a man who is being constantly broken, abused and humiliated. I wanted to hug Theon after last nights episode, though I hated him when he burned down Winterfell. People tend to brush the abuse he went through under Ramsay under the carpet. Man, I felt really bad for him. Those scenes were so hard to watch because they felt real and an attribute to both Iwan and Alfie's acting.

OMG He didn't burn Winterfell. Ramsay burns Winterfell, while Theon is unconcious. People, pay some attantion.

You're right of course, he's pretty great.
