I thought it would have been cool to see the epic battle scenes with Arya coming in the end and fighting herself.
side note: Do we know if Arya's sword teacher got killed?

Well, he disabled or killed all the Lannister guards, but the Kingsguard dude broke his sword. We have seen the Kingsguard dude later, so do the math.
Some fans think that he survived and Arya met him later, disguised as some criminal from the Red Keep dungeons that Yoren takes to the Wall. I think Syrio died a heroic death, protecting Arya.
 
This is the guy who fought Syrio:

And in this picture, taken from the last scene in episode 8, he's the second from the left, facing the camera:

As far as I know, he's the only one Kingsguard knight, besides Barristan Selmy and Jaime Lannister, who's not an extra. The actor's name is Ian Beattie
 
Not only is Syrio Forel dead, it's a pretty great death scene. Don't see what more anyone would want.

And I'll be pretty pissed if we ever find out otherwise. Syrio being Jaqen H'ghar and also the faceless man in Braavos would be waay too cute for my tastes...

Although Jaqen H'ghar being the Faceless Man is fine.

Shit, I didn't recognise him. I was once on a stag weekend with him. Last thing he was in on tv, he played the notorious paedohpile priest Brendan Smyth.
 
Looks like he'll also be in tonight's episode, helmetless, judging from the preview vid. Hopefully they'll finally give his name (Meryn Trant). The remaining Kingsguard members, Boros Blount, Arys Oakheart, Preston Greenfield, and Mandon Moore are still nameless, faceless extras at this point.

And for the record, I think the Lannister and Kingsguard helmets on the show look really, really stupid. :lol:
 
Yes I know but if you were to spin around with that helmet(going 360) that helmet would give you a very narrow view of your surrondings.

If just seeing was a concern, you could wear something open faced. But then, your eyes also become a target. Give and take.
 
Police helmets. Allow for better viewing but protect against projectiles.

I am only talking about protecting the face but allowing for good vision.
 
That Hitler spoof was awesome - my sentiments exactly. I'm still upset even though I knew how it was going to play out. Sean Bean had been so great as Ned Stark and I think it would also be hard for him to find another role so perfect for him. It's just such a waste.
 
Yeah he has had a lot of expirence with medivial shows. Lord of the rings, wow does he always get killed in the first of things(season-sequel) like movies and shows?

Sometimes he gets killed in the end, sometimes he doesn't survive the first 15 minutes ...
Recently he was also in the medieval sort of horror movie named Black Death (great movie btw). Guess how it ended for him :lol:

My brother, who didn't read the books, said that he suspected that Ned won't survive the first season just because Sean Bean played him, so it wasn't a big surprise for him.
