Da Vinci Code, Feast of Crows, all these other books. because the book has been out for well over a decade, the fact that it is selling so well right now is indicative of the big hype. i guess i should have pointed out that it is on the best sellers list right now. | ||

Syrio's probably my favorite oneshot minor character. Has anything been revealed of him yet? Is he even going to be in the series? | ||

He was a focal point in the Arya storyline in the first book, and they'd have to do some serious cutting down of her story once they get to King's Landing to remove him. | ||

They could do away with the whole Jon giving Arya Needle and Eddard finding someone to train Arya element entirely, and then hand wave Arya having some experience with swords from play-fighting as a kid or something. Then when the hammer drops, Arya just runs away from the Lannisters/Ser Meryn in a made-for-TV chase scene. The part I am concerned about is Syrio's teachings (see with your eyes etc) is pretty central to Arya's character development, and removing that element entirely will remove a ton from Arya's story, which might be doable if the TV show doesn't intend to follow each character's plot as strictly, but I wouldn't agree with that. Also, they should have Syrio just because of his badass lines: "You will be stopping there. Are you men or dogs that you would threaten a child?" | ||

![[image loading]](http://home.comcast.net/~fxgpic/got.jpg) this is interesting, there's a Winter 2011 Television Critics Association Press Tour going on right now. In the Game Of Thrones panel, featuring George R. R. Martin, David Benioff, DB Weiss, Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, and Emilia Clarke, there's some people from winter-is-coming there with live updates: http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/01/live-coverage-of-tca-game-of-thrones-panel/ | ||

Miltos Yerolemou is cast as Syrio. Also, I will bet all the money in the world that + Show Spoiler + The scene with Arya+Jon is kept. | ||
