Also I agree with you that Syiro Forel has to be alive for the same reason with the Hound. Granted there is less chance of his survival simple because his wooden sword in the book is cut in half. That was the last thing Arya saw before she ran, she never saw what happened next but unless he has some weird Matrix moves he held back with, possibility of his survival or at least him coming back into the narrative anytime soon is small. Then again they didn't go too far with Arya's adventures in Braavos in the books to see if she might run into him there if he lived long enough to go home. Fingers crossed there.

The reason why I think he's still alive is because I think there's a chance he's a Faceless Man. He's from Braavos, and he's a highly skilled warrior. She could bump into him and he could train her AGAIN.

Anyways, I took what the Hound said about the guy who killed Syrio seriously. When he laughed and said "The 'greatest' warrior lost to Blahdy Blah? Blahdy Blah is an idiot and the worst fighter I know." something along those lines. I don't think it's improbably that Syrio killed him with half of a wooden sword. We've seen crazier in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Anyways, I think I half implied it, but only mentioned spoilers that have to do with the books that have happened in the show so far, if that makes sense. Like, I don't mind spoilers that are in the books but never mentioned in the show, but nothing in Feast For Crows or beyond should be mentioned in our amusing discussions. Because I know nothing past Season 4 of the show. The girlfriend just sits and gives me background while we watch.
