[Jotaux]

If you're referring to the actor, it's Pilou Asbæk

[Deleted]

But it still wasn't clearly stated. Just strong implication. So I think it was handled pretty nicely in the show overall judging by the other person's comment you were answering to.

I think it had to be done differently in the show, because Eurons never been mentioned before, whereas he was a known (though not very well) entity in the books when he reappeared. But it was definately Euron, either personally or via some other means who killed Balon, thats never really been in question.

Do the Ironborn resurrect people when they drown them?

Everybody is resurect.

[Deleted]

Everybody is resurect.

Even Nimble Dick?

[Gib Lover]

How did the raft holding his body keep going out to sea when waves were coming in? Shouldn't it have just immediately started coming back at them?

[Ghâzh]

Yeah, this kept bothering me the whole scene as well. It's like nobody in the directing team had ever seen how waves work.

[Fayenoor]

Wish Jon Snow had stayed dead a bit longer. He is a super whiny character. Also hope he at least grew a pair after getting resurrected and will do the right thing and take back the north from Ramsay.

[Argarock]

Holy crap they're actually going with the Euron story-line??
...okay! kinda odd to start doing that now, as he should have joined good while ago, and, they havent really showed much from the iron island, so we have no real connection to any of the people who live there.

LOOOOVED the Scene with Tyrion and the dragons, so tense the entire time, just waiting, hoping they wouldnt eat him!
Seeing as the character that tried to do the very same thing in the books got fuuuuucked up

So sad they killed off Doran in the last episode, was expecting them to start expanding on his, and his son's storylines troughout this season, they're both way
cooler than the sand-snakes. The guy has a plan, and is a diplomatic genious, while the sand-snakes are idiotic brutes, who wants to throw dorne into another pointless war they have no chance of winning..


Edit:

Oh, and they ressed jon a bit soon I feel like.. was expecting it to not work so that the scene around him "waking up" would be a bit "grander"

[Deleted]

I like how we have two assassinations and the assassins just easily sliding right into the power vacuum with (very likely) no questions asked.

Then the one legitimate, legal heir (Yara) talks about being in charge, and that dude goes all, "FOLLO DE ROOLZ!" on her.

She is not the legal heir according to ironborn law, they follow power, not line of succession like king's landing.

Except for Yara's own men n a few others, most ironborn refuse to follow a woman, so she has no chance to become queen.

her genitalia goes inwards instead of outwards.. Come on!

"Grew a pair"
- He retakes craster's keep from the mutinee's
- Fights in Hardhome
- Leader in the Battle of Castle Black

Whiny maybe that's a point of view, but he always had balls. He wanted to Help Ned, he wanted to fight with Robb he just couldn't because of his vows. It's a completly different thing, it has nothing to do with not having balls.
Now he will be free from his vows (since he died) and he will go and retake WInterfell in the name of the Starks. And he will be aided by Tormund and his men.

One of the rites of passage for the especially devout is basically being drowned by a member of the priesthood and then being resuicitated.

[Ethenil]

Does Euron have his eyepatch?

Does he have an eye under it?

How hard is it for an adult human to fight off oncoming dogs? Honest question here, I was imagining what I would do in a similar situation.

[Elim Garak]

Easy, you would die a horrible death and feed the dogs in the process.

These aren't regular dogs, they can teleport and strike fear into the hearts of even the mightiest Ironborn.

I think you forgot some words here.

What happens on the Iron Islands stays on the Iron Islands.

Yes I know, but is it a real resurrection? Would they have come back from the dead if they had a mortal wound? Pumping someone's lungs isn't the same as what Thoros of Myr or Melisandre does..

Btw Thoros of Myr - Melisandre, 6-1

[pateuvasiliu]

Thoros resurrected Beric immediately after he died and Beric returned weaker each time.

Meli ressed Jon a while after he died and he'll return intact.

I'd say that counts as 2 or 3.
