I've been skeptical of Syrio's death since reading Book 1. And when his final scene in season 1 virutally matched that of the book, my skepticism grew. I think we see him again TBH.

Who said anything about him running? If he was captured, he wouldn't have run? Jaqen had to have gotten thrown in that cage somehow.

Also, in the wise words of Sandor:

"Meryn Trant, the greatest swordsman who ever lived killed by Meryn fricking Trant?"

But he would've been killed. He poked that bear, there's no "capture" at that point.

I want it to be true, but I can't see it being so

It's one of the crackpot theories that I like to think is true.

I just always figured that Syrio just disarmed/beat Trant like he did the others, and then just offered to be taken as a prisoner knowing that he could just escape with someone else's face (Jaqen), and find Arya again.

Again, I know it is a crackpot theory. But we will find out if the crackpot theory is right or wrong after this episode.

I think this theory may have some weight to it, but can you express it as an equation? Otherwise I don't think anyone will take it seriously. How about "1SoB=/=D" ?

To be fair, we never saw what happened between him and Trant. Only heard clashing. Syrio was nimble as frick. It is not inconceivable by any stretch that he was able to get a real sword from one of the laid out randoms and rain holy hell down on Trant. He has Trant incapacitated when the reinforcements show up, boom, he's taken into custody. JUST before that Lord Eddard had just given ole' boy permission to scour the dungeons. SF=JH hits the dungeons just in time to be loaded up in the cage to for transport to the wall.

First Sword of Bravos, mother frickers!

I don't think there is anything to that picture. Syrio is not coming back.



Maybe just his face comes back.

I find all off screen deaths suspicious (and some one screen deaths)

but I will allow them to be confirmed later (the burned Grenn, Brienne tells Davos she cut off Stannis' head)

But Brienne could be lying. I doubt it though

Check this out - BWOB character

Turns out there may have been more going on in the scene with three BWOB men showing up than we thought

Even if it means LSH is coming, people wouldn't freak out like the Red wedding as that article claims

There would be three reactions

"OMG YAY"

"frick THIS GAY EARTH, frick CATELYN STARK"

And finally "WHO THE frick IS THIS? IS THAT THE HOUND?"

It's a little like the Better Call Saul finale last season IMO. The Gus Fring anagram was figured out beforehand so Gilligan axed it.

In this case I think they LSH stuff was already included this season and GRRM went out of his way to discredit it, to throw people off the trail.

It will be a crazy moment for sure, esp if the actress for Cat ends up coming back.

What I'm curious about is what Sansa's reward to Littlefinger is.
