How do show watchers feel about Grey Worm?

I find myself getting annoyed when he's on screen. Aside from the lovely, faptastic Misandei, he doesn't even make sense. One of the most badass armies on the planet elects a dude that looks like he weighs 140 lbs as its leader?

He sucks. This I can confirm.

There was a short time there where they were developing his character. Then they quit. They couldn't even have him do much badassery when him and Semly got hacked apart.

This. They should have evolved his character into the badass he was meant to be. Instead they went all love story and ruined him.

I don't necessarily hate the love story angle. I mean it is a little different than normal because grey worm is certainly not just out to dip his wick.

But they should have absolutely established him as a soul crushing killer before the love story. Rather than just talking about how fierce they are even though bitches with knives tear through them and talking about how the unsullied respect him and elected him as their leader even though none of them have ever talked to my recollection.

It's a pretty small part of the story but it sucks that they've fumbled it.

I finally finished A Feast For Crows. The first half was such a grind. I stopped reading after 300 pages months ago and just decided to pick it back up again a few weeks ago. Thankfully it hit its stride shortly thereafter and I was able to read the final 600-ish pages in the past couple weeks.

A few things:

At this point, the books are so different from the movies in places, it's almost like a different universe.

I have to say, I liked the idea of Jamie at Riverrun more than Dorne, although that wasn't a bad idea in and of itself. They just botched those fucking Sand Snakes something fierce.

Foregoing the inclusion of the Ironborn and Arianne was kind of weak. The Ironborn chapters, particularly the Kingsmoot, were some of my favorite. I enjoyed Arianne's scheming as well, with the little nugget that Doran had promised her to Viserys being dropped in near the end of the book. Once Daenarys makes here way back to Westeros, there's no question that she'll have Dorne at her side. Then Elia, Oberyn, the Sand Snakes, Ellaria and Doran will finally get their revenge on the Lannisters.

The Blackfish is fucking awesome.. And he didn't even do shit. Martin has a great ability to convey the badassness of a character without ever actually showing him doing anything.

Victarion is also a fucking beast. He caught the dude's sword with a mailed hand. That's bad-fucking-ass. It'll be interesting to see how he is received by Daenerys.

Jamie. That guy is a totally different character. Of all of him, his progression is my favorite. I really fucking hated that dude at the start. Now he's probably my favorite character. When he smacked the guy at the bear pit for calling Brienne an ugly wench and denying Cersei's request for the trial by combat- those were some really triumphant moments in his storyline, IMO.

Damn, this post is getting long as hell so I'll wrap it up by saying fuck Cersei and I loved every second of her getting what's been coming to her. She thinks herself clever and totally did herself in. Littlefinger is also a cunning bastard. But I wonder what he gains from marrying Sansa off?

Quentyn says otherwise.

Don't look unless you want to know.

Appreciate the effort, but I think I'm going start passing on the heavy spoilers. I want to see how this plays out on TV and not know exactly what is going to happen.

The Mountain in a boxing ring.
He looked strong but extremely raw for about a round.
