User blog comment:LexiLexi/Is Theon the Latest Game of Thrones Villain?/@comment-10.8.56.52-20120517135500

In a way Theon is my favorite character, in that he is, by definition, the most "dynamic" character in the whole of Game of Thrones so far. His transformation, and self-confliction is quite "epic". In fact, it sort of saved the series for me, I was starting to get bored because I thought Game of Thrones had fallen into moral relativity and only Tyrion and John Snow seemed to have any conscience. So to see his struggles between seeking approval of his father versus loyalty to his best friend, and the sort of "knowing regret" that he has, the inner conflict with his own morality is priceless.

The look at the end on his face is epic. It takes A LOT more talent to play a good villain, so I think the actor of Theon deserves a lot of praise.
