Family Ties

Theon Greyjoy is one of the better characters in the Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) books. He's sort of a background character for the first book, but by the second book (season 2 4/1/12) he gets fleshed out rather wonderfully.

The dude's got some real daddy issues. His dad was a prick and decided to lead a rebellion, which got utterly crushed. As a result, Theon, the only surviving Greyjoy son, was sent to be Ned Stark's ward. And Ned Stark is the world's greatest Dad. So Theon gets to a weird point where he can finally go home, his dream for years, but he likes his other family better. Real classic Daddy issues abound.

And speaking of family, I came to a weird realization. Theon is played by Alfie Allen.
Alfie.
...Allen.

No. It can't be, I gasp, as I type in "Alfie Allen" to my iTunes.



Oh shit. Theon Greyjoy is Lily Allen's slacker little brother Alfie. Like the song.

Since Lily's classic pop/dance/ska/n/a/seriouslytho/it'ssogood album "Alright, Still" came out in like 2006 or something, I have been familiar with the concept of her pothead, slacking, chronic masturbating brother Alfie.

But now, I can only imagine the puppet from the video having sex with a medieval prostitute.

 Seriously, I warned you

So for anyone who has read Clash of Kings, back me up on this, are you also picturing Asha Greyjoy being played by Lily Allen?

I could maybe see that
