What are the odds that he turns out to be Jaqen H'ghar?

[Kaius]

All I know is his head wasn't on display with the rest of the Stark household.

[Norah]

That's because he wasn't part of their household. He was someone Ned found in King's Landing and hired to train Arya.

Do not deal in absolutes.

[Mecca]

never understood why he did not take the sword from one of the lannister soldiers he knocked down

[Kaius]

Why are you so certain he didn't?

I don't think Ned would hire some stranger from Braavos to give his youngest daughter "dancing lessons". There's more to it.

i think he would; he saw Lyanna in Arya and wanted to encourage her in secret

[@SkitchP]

For a show so willing to show graphic death, I do find it suspicious that his death is supposed to be assumed.

He wasn't just any stranger though, he was a former first sword of Braavos so I'm pretty sure he came with a reputation.

[Kaius]

Ok. "stranger" was a bit of hyperbole, but why not one of his own men? Why a braavosi?

[Mecca]

because it needed to be under the guise of "dancing" as it would not be proper of a noble lady to do such things.

[Kaius]

I guess I'm struggling with the concept of him having a reputation as the first sword of Braavos, but he's just some eastern dancing instructor... It seems like a lazy plot construct for a writer who is anything but lazy.

Wait. How long have we been waiting on TWOW?

[Mecca]

Water Dancing is the style of sword fighting that Syrio employs. I think it was just a way to be hush hush about it with Sansa as she's really the only one who mentions it being "dancing" when Arya has bruises all over from it.

[Kaius]

Yeah. I get all of that. I'm just doing a poor job asking questions.

Martin definitely left the door open for a believable return, but it could go either way.

[Kaius]

Jon Snow 6
Syrio Forel 5

I think it's a possibility.
