Shit. Didn't work. It's a picture of Drogo banging Khaleesi.

to be honest i'm not really getting the syrio obsession

Syrio is probably Jaqen H'ghar, the greatest character in recent fantasy fiction memory.

And even if he isn't, he's certainly a faceless man. And I'm sorry but I just don't think anyone in this tournament can beat a faceless man.

Jaqen H'ghar, the greatest character in recent fantasy fiction memory.

I could sign on to that

is there hard evidence of this?

Nah. Just a lot of speculation and theory.

Which is why it's a bunch of bullshit. When GRRM has big reveals and twists like that he alludes to them beforehand. Syrio was who he said he was, and Syrio died.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

even if he ends up being jaqen, i can't vote for him in this just based on pure speculation

I don't believe that for one second, Peter.

[stip]

How did Jaqen get captured?

[Norah]

no one knows, that's where the speculation comes in that he's really syrio

if syrio survived and was brought to the dungeons at the red keep then he could have changed his face to be Jaqen and then he ends up on his way north with Yoren

the problem with this theory is the timeline. Ned allowed the emptying of the dungeons, so did Yoren have them all rounded up and ready to go before Syrio was thrown in jail, or after? it's entirely possible that it fits but we really don't know

also, once again GRRM likes to leave clues for this and we don't have anything more

if we knew for a fact that syrio survived and was thrown in the dungeons, I'd be leaning a lot harder towards he is Jaqen

[stip]

why wouldn't he have just revealed himself to Arya?


It's a fun idea, but I agree it doesn't nestle comfortably in the larger narrative.

[epilogue]

I'll be honest that I'm not 100% on board with the Syrio = Jaqen theory. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be true and I personally really like that theory. But I'm not convinced.

However, I will be shocked to shit if Syrio actually died when we're led to believe he died. No way. Nope. Not buying it for one second. And that's the strongest thing that pulls me toward Syrio = Jaqen. Because I do think he's alive. But what difference does that make unless he shows up somewhere else? And the most likely solution is that he's a faceless man as well, even if he isn't Jaqen H'ghar.

[Norah]

He's just not set up to come back without any allusion to it. I would prefer it if he stays dead, because I don't want twists that come completely out of left field just for the sake of them. If it was a twist that would serve the larger story it would be set up better.

I don't want it just to have it, either. But I'm not sure it isn't set up. But either way, I agree that if it's to happen it needs to serve the larger story.

I'm on team chud here

What's next, a mobile planet that can suck all the life out of its own sun then move to a totally new solar system all suck up that sun, too?
