Ser Barristan Da Gawd but father time caught that ass
True then again we saw Bronn and one handed Jamie take out 4 Dornishmen on horseback with ease.
Barristan deserved better.

1st off, we can't take Dany's assessment of anyone's combat prowess because she simply has no idea what she's talking about. 2nd, the same thing happened in the show. The Unsullied were caught off guard. It's not like they met them in open combat, they were lured into a confined space and faced with superior numbers. @Klarifeye The Great summed it up perfectly in his post about about facing an enemy on their soil who won't fight you head on.
And for everyone saying Barriston deserved a better death.....what show have you been watching? Besides Joffrey who has come close to getting what they deserve?

They both (Grey and Selmy) kill 10-12 dudes in an ambush...I'd say that's a pretty boss way to go out, especially for Selmy's ancient ass. In the book its much more mundane, I prefer Benioff's handling with Martin's idea of knights dying slow, lame, deaths.

I would imagine that was the best cock tease in the book...besides Euron's badass pirate arrival.

not mad at the way barristan went out, but looking back it woulda been nice to see him in action, at least his famous escape at the mud gate when he was disguised
but we have to remember that the show never really hyped him up like the books did. most show watchers know next to nothing of the legendary kingsguard aerys II had

Dude had basically the 96 Bulls as kingsguard. Barristan The Bold, The Bull Gerold Hightower, Prime Jamie Lannister, Sword of the Morning Arthur Dayne
Am I the only one who hates the Lady Stoneheart character? I actually hope she doesn't appear on the TV show

yeah compare that to Joffrey's KG when he dismissed Barristan.
Barristan straight up told the fight remaining KG in the room that he could off all five of them right then and there solo style without breaking a sweat. And that's the old ass version of Barristan Selmy. Yet he had to get got by nameless, faceless sons of the harpy smh, they should of just let grey worm take that loss on his own.
well just because he said it, doesn't mean it's true
I think one thing to consider is he didn't have armor on when he got got

Thinking of doing a Balls of Beast re-read (Books 4 & 5 in order by events). I have to remind myself of the differences between the books/show. I can't wait to give GRRM some more money though. TWoW will be good.
As far as the show, I'm enjoying it. Taking Sansa to the dark side may bring Lady Stoneheart's story into play. The only thing I know for certain is Reek will know what she taste like....
Sir Barristan the Bold dying was sad, but it's something I expect in TWoW.
I'm just ready for Jon Snow's parents to be revealed. There's more storylines to keep me interested in the series with that not being a secret...

naw shyt went from 0-100 when he pulled that sword out, everybody in that hall was shook. ned was praising him, talking about how glad he was they never ran into each other on the field. Jamie told his cousin that he was a "painter who only used red." and this nikka dies in an alley fighting some nobodies. couldn't even give the nikka a boss fight. smh.
I'm hoping he makes it back to king's landing in the books.

rescue at duskendale + his escape from KL (assuming he wasn't lying, i guess he could be), but not before sneaking into the tower to update his history as a knight of the KG means he's as bad as claimed
I heard he scored four touchdowns in one gamerescue at duskendale + his escape from KL (assuming he wasn't lying, i guess he could be), but not before sneaking into the tower to update his history as a knight of the KG means he's as bad as claimed
it's just boasting. one on five is never good odds
