  1. Here’s an Episode Commentary of S1e8 narrated by GRRM himself. It’s almost…disheartening to realize how excited he was about the show & books back then.

    S1e8, “The Pointy End” Episode Commentary by GRRM

    At 0:00 – 1:00, he talks about Maisie Williams as Arya* and Miltos Yerolemou as Syrio.

    ….
    * including, “Maisie is just amazing as Arya.”

  2. Always worth revisiting Miltos as Syrio…

    at 7:20 “There is only one thing we say to Death: ‘Not today’.”

    at 10:05: “The First Sword of Braavos does not run.”

    at 10:20 – 10:26: “What do we say to the God of Death?”
    Arya: “Not today.”

  3. I love how engaged Miltos is with the fandom despite only being a guest actor in the first season. He was on S8 Throne cast here in the UK and it’s clear he loves the show.

    Yes, he really is a dedicated alumnus and a good “fellow fan.”
    I’m going to see if I can find that S8 Thronecast interview…

  5. Back to Miltos:

    If and when watchersonthewall does Awards for all 8 seasons, I think he’s my frontrunner for Best Guest Actor.

    Q: Is there anyone else who made such a strong impression in such limited screen time?

    agreed. I noticed someone just opened up a little fencing club down the street from where I live. I’m very tempted to signup for lessons. I’m not sure if they hired anyone from Braavos.
