Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Touching on a point from before, in the book they make Syrio out to be crazy good at fighting. He almost manages to dismantle the guards who come after Arya with a wooden stick until it breaks. Saying "it was a hopeless situation" seems like a cop out. He's a swordmaster, true, but I don't think it's too far fetched to assume he could disarm one of the others for their swords. (In fact, doesn't he do this by breaking one of their wrists?)
Yea, it's wishful thinking, but most of us are taught to be skeptical unless we're handed dna results proving someone died. Admittedly, GRRM could be saying, "Draw your own conclusions, because you guys know how I am...I don't care WHO dies."
I don't think Syrio is Jaqen, mainly because I think the two of them co-existing is there to show us how fucking all-encompassingly amazing swordmasters and faceless ones are.
Someone get GRRM at knifepoint and don't let him move till he finishes the series, fuck!

Amazingly enough Thoros of Myr is from Myr not Mereen, Astapor, or Yunkai.

oh yeah you caught me! way to go there super sleuth. i thought thoros of myr was from astapor. ya know because it sounds the same. right? you're really reaching in your pursuit of my bunghole drinsic.
its really a crime to get one coastal city of essos mixed up with another coastal city of essos. and the whole point i brought it up was the dude thought Thoros would be darker, and people of slaver's bay are dark. then again people in that region are dark as well so its a valid argument.

This is pretty much where I'm coming down on every single casting choice at this point. They have done a ludicrously good job, like just so far above and beyond what anyone could have expected.
At this point when I saw Ceasar was cast as Mance Rayder rather than wondering what the fuck they were doing I kind of thought about why I'd pictured him wildly differently. He never says he's young, just that he's charming or whatever. There's no reason for me to think he's a younger looking dude. He's supposed to be "in his middle years", mostly bald and with some gray hair. An "unremarkable" looking man. Ceasar from Rome is going to fucking nail it, and we're gonna say again how he's not how we pictured him, but the actor killed it.
Jojen is exactly how I pictured him, with a few more years on him. Meera is not. Might just be that picture, but the actress has one of those faces where she looks like she's 40.
