Spoiler Or it could be Jaquan as Syrio. Perhaps he was Syrio the whole time and that is why Jaquan was with the caravan to the wall. So in a way that means Syrio is dead dead.

Michael Sweetser Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Honestly, I'm starting to hate the whole Faceless Man concept, because it's cheapening every death. It's like the Doom-bots in Marvel.

odessasteps Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The latter. Its one of the things i cant stand about modern Doctor Who: there have prob been between 5 to 10 characters killed who have been brought through hocus pocus, timey wimey and what not. In a related note, mY friend gave me an extremely convoluted theory about the facless men, the greyjoys and dragon eggs i couldnt possibly replicate.

piranesi Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 This felt like a bunch of let-downs. Like every fan theory about every story line from this week, no matter how stupid, was 1000X more interesting than anything that actually happened. They had like six different amazing things set up and decided to just deflate them all or fizzle them out. - No battle at Riverrun - No confrontation for Brienne. She showed up and just...sailed away. - No Lady S. - No faceless switheroos - no Syrio Forel (that one is hilarious when watching that moment actually happen) - No Clegane Bowl - No trial by combat at all. - The Waif dies off-camera - The Blackfish just slinks away and then dies off camera. - Arya's thing was just a generic chase scene. No fight at the end. and the faceless Joe is just like "Watev's go home now." Goddamn. After an entire season of moving people into exactly these positions, and with only two episodes left, they spend this episode...re-setting everyone to different positions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throat Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Turns out that was just a random background dude with an afro who buys his clothes at the same place Syrio did. And there were no twists to explain why Arya was so careless in the previous episode. She's just a moron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Arya's faceless men angle was basically a two-year long storyline that ended with: "So. I'm leaving." "Okay." Apart from the Meryn Trant scene it was about as badly done as Dorne and took twice as long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well she gained a lot of fighting skill and possibly some powers that will be fruitful in the near future but it did take for fucking ever. No matter. I could have told you there would be no battle at Riverrun. They weren't going to have a bunch of people nobody cares about square off in an epic battle where it might overshadow or take away from Bastard Bowl. I agree though, it would have been satisfying to see Waif get dropped. It would have also been cooler to have a trial by combat with The Mountain. But I'm hoping he'll just run through The Faith like Kane in the Royal Rumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I liked the no fight. Arya outsmarted the Waif. Presumably, no fights were balanced by the Hound's Death Wish montage and the Mountain ripping a guys head off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actress was painfully blatant in mimicking Robert Patrick's body language. And while I actually did like the way Arya managed to win, that whole chase scene was just fucking terrible. It's inexcusable to ask us to buy Arya doing a Jason Bourne parkour chase after she'd been halfway disemboweled in the previous episode, every one of her wounds should've ripped wide open as soon as she made that first jump, let alone the next dozen. And it seemed kinda silly to end with that storyline, when the battle at Meereen was the biggest new storyline and they probably should have used Dany's return for the last scene. But hey, at least we got a scene's worth of Brondrick and Tarthslayer back together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigertooth Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It was impossible for me to care about the Arya thing between the revelation that she actually was that stupid and her Wolverine healing powers that allowed her to run and jump everywhere after getting badly stabbed less than 24 hours prior. And the waif running after Arya at some points (like the cool shot where she was blurry in the background running along the ledge) then slowly walking later. As others have pointed out, there was good stuff in this episode, but it was overshadowed by "Man, this Arya story is the shits". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
