It’s been my understanding that you can’t count out any character unless you’ve specifically seen them die. And even then, you still can’t (Beric Dondarrion, Lady Stoneheart.)
I’m still speculating that Syrio didn’t die. Apart from being a first sword of Braavos, I think he was also one of the faceless men - later showing himself to Arya as Jaquen.
Wishful thinking maybe, because he was one of my favorite characters.
Season 5 should be spectacular, as this is the point where the stories shift to include more of the fantasy elements.
Hodor.
Lady Starke is apparently returning as a “zombie”.
[seriously]
At least The Mountain was posthumously laid low by the Red Viper.
Hodor!

Outstanding speculation that would explain Jaquen’s concern for Arya.
