As Drogo was dying, I was getting the thought of the epicness of him dying yet Daenerys somehow retaining power. I doubt it will happen because I can't figure out a single plausible way to write it, but that would be a slam fucking dunk if R.R. could pull that shit off. He would have to truly bring out Dany's greatness of character to get it done. She did excellently in this episode, even. Only way I could think of getting it done would involve Jorah being her champion and defeating all comers, but that doesn't flow well at all. There would have to be something we don't yet know about that changes things. So IMO they can't kill of Drogo yet because without him they lose half the story arc
Best I've seen yet on Jon Snow is he could be Raegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's child. I think that would still qualify him for a Dire Wolf, and all the stuff about Ned and his bastard could be explained as well, as his honor probably would have led him to keep the secret from even his wife. If it's true, I'm guessing the Targ at the wall knows, but doesn't yet realize he knows.
For some reason I feel like Arya needs to be gradually morphed into a fan champion. Down the road, she needs to kill a Lannister or two. Perhaps she will kill The Mountain in a sort of battle where all his great brawn can't stop a Needle of Braavos slipping through his neck
I feel like there shouldn't be that many White Walkers. Maybe like twenty or so, maybe even fewer. They should be bigger faster stronger smarter than humans, and feel no pain, but their greatest power is in their evil necro powers. I feel they need an epic fight scene between one WW and brothers Mountain and Hound. There has got to be a reason the Clegane's are written as beasts among men
Hodor, at the direction of the captured Wildling girl, will save Bran from an Ice Zombie, I bet. He's got giant's blood, after all
You just had to know Ned was gonna lose his head when he was gonna be sent to the Night's Watch. That would be some awful writing to put his character up there IMO. Much better to martyr him. Robb is an even better character though IMO
I feel like Joffrey's about to get his shit pushed in. He's not gonna wanna give anything up to save his uncle Jaime, but then Cersei will tell him about the twincest. And Grandpa Tywin might have to choke a bitch for killing Ned and fanning war flames. Joffrey can't be king for long. He's young and stupid, and signed his own death warrant with defying his elders' wishes by killing Ned. Power and loyalties are Tywin's, he has zero friends other than the Kingsguard (sans Barriston's cake carving ass), and guys like LF and Varys will probably try to find ways to get rid of him now. He can't be controlled, he has no real friends, so something will happen to him. Would love to see the Lannisters go Fredo on his ass, but doubt it'll happen like that. Could simply just be something like Tywin/Cersei et al hatching a plot to reign his ass and make him a good boy
The pImp's new girl is Dothraki. She's gotta be. Her conversational behavior is impressively blunt. That's gotta be for a reason. Not sure how R.R. writes women so damn well. HBO does have a knack for producing better female characters than other networks. Just take a look at Rome's Atia and Servilia. Some of the best character work I've seen, and chicks at that
Part of me was hoping to see Littlefinger be the one to get Ned killed so he could then trick his way into wooing Cat. How awesome would it be for the audience to have to sit through the man who murdered their hero banging his wife? Shit bad like that is standard for life, but nobody wants it in film, for some reason
Will be interesting to see what happens with Sansa. I think she's very hard to write at this juncture because she's become a third wheel since she can't marry Joffrey. I wouldn't mind seeing that marriage forced down the road though, but no Stark would ever even try to make it happen at this point, so that won't happen. I hope it doesn't become a Sansa for Jaime trade. Cool shit needs to happen with the capture of Jaime, not just used as a swap
Stannis needs to show the fuck up. Hell, even Renly and his boi toi need to show up, but Stannis moreso. The man is supposed to be an animal in war, and with his backing, Tywin's army will get steamrolled especially with what happened to Jaime's army
