Jaqen and Syrio ftw From every single piece of information we got on Braavos this place already seem to be the coolest place on Westeros. Recap: - They have awesome dancing fighters who can pwn gold cloaks within a matter of seconds - They have a guild of magic assassin who can shapeshift at will - They are rich as fuck, enough to make the Lannisters owe them Can't wait till the show brings us there ... | ||

If I remember well: 1. He said he was 1st sword of Braavos which would probably mean he was the best. So I would guess not everyone there can beat gold cloaks in seconds 2. I cannot argue with this :D 3. Lannisters don't owe them anything, Crown does. | ||

They are not trained fighters or knights. | ||

"Bran can't be lord of Winterfell before me" "Renly's not right" yadda yadda mumble mumble , then Umber stands up and declares the King in the North. Seems like the Northern lords were only really opposed to having Rob declare for Renly. It's basically Stannis that "sides" "against" Rob. "And let him steal the Northern half of my Kingdom?" "All thieves" etc. The way I understood things; Robb isn't looking for an independent north, he wants revenge and a few Lannister heads and then he'd like to withdraw to Winterfell and live peacefully under a better king, such as Stannis. Sure, he does make the propsal to the Lannisters (S2E1) that there can be peace if they acknowledge an independent North etc., but that's under the supposition that Joffrey remains king. Nothing in the show is indicating that Robb would refuse to be part of the kingdom under a different king, such as Stannis. The "king in the north"-shouting is for me just a way of Robb's men to declare loyalty, aswell as a way of opposing Joffrey's rule. If Robb sat down with Stannis, I feel they could have an alliance on terms similar to that of Ned and Robert vs The Mad King, i.e. that Stannis becomes king and Robb rules the north as part of the seven kingdoms. After all, Robb's main reason for going south was revenge. It seems awfully greedy of him to all of a sudden wanting an independent north. | ||

Independence is actually exactly what Robb wants after the war. If you recall, in season 2 Renley wanted him to swear the same oarth as his father did and it was what stood between them. Furthermore, there is just no way Robb would support Stannis knowing what he knows about his dealings with black magic. | ||

If Arya had a few years under Syrio, she'd probably be one of the top swords in all of westeros. | ||

This is about the show, not about how the books are better/different or whatever else you can think of. There is another thread for the Books and TV. Rage of thrones is about the Seasons, there are no spoilers and it's just a jest : D I understand there are no book discussions hence why I have yet to be temp banned. | ||

Yeahh well you got my point  and BTW ... we never saw Syrio die in the show ... I don't want to bring any book discussion here but it would be nice to know if he's really dead (all we had where noises and a slash which lets us think his head got cut-off ... but no real proof). Or mbe it's just me fantasizing :D | ||

If Arya had a few years under Syrio, she'd probably be one of the top swords in all of westeros. Fencing swords are pretty useless against armor. Yes, a real expert might find weak spots against untrained troops and defeat them (but they would defeat them with a wooden sword as well  ) but against a trained knight with any decent skill and good armor and a shield (not the kind that idiot used against Bronn in S1) he would die before the would kill the knight.In our world people only started using fencing swords when armors were no longer used. And armors were not used because of guns that ignored armor and took little skill to use compared to crossbows or bows so any peasant with little to no training could kill heavily armored knights. No guns so far means armor still rules the day and fencing swords are useless | ||
