Best sword fight/dueling scene in a tv show? (Game of Thrones vid incl.)
For me it's Syrio Forel in episode 8 of Game of Thrones. Armed only with a wooden practice sword he protects his young protege from a half dozen armed knights.
Agree, disagree? Any other scenes that compare?

Titus Pollo in the arena shouting "THIRTEEN" in Rome.
I'd post the video but I think watching it on youtube belittles it.

OK, certainly not the best duel in a technical sense but still one of the best scenes:

As much as I loved the scene in Game of Thrones in a dramatic sense, it wasn't very technical or very fast. He acted like a badass, but it didn't really look it. The one mentioned from Rome tops it easily... Heck, a few from Spartacus does as well.
