Joffreys death could not have been anymore sweet than it was. Choking to death because he couldn't stop his cruelty. Whether it turns out he was poisoned or not, it was a fitting end for the little bastard. Can't wait to see this next season.

Tyrion killing Shae. The show has made her actually care for him, rather than in the book where she's still just a w*** doing it for the money and betrays him immediately. It would be especially out of character for her to end up in Tywin's room as well. Though I suppose if she did everything out of fear, it might make the scene that much more powerful. In the books, they basically bribed her (as Cersei's first POV in AFFC suggests) but if she was threatened and had no other choice and Tyrion still killed her, that would be quite something.

- Victarion's Iron Fleet reaches Mereen and kicks the s*** out of the Yunkai army
- They use the horn and take a Dragon (probably Viserion, I reckon that Rhaegal might go to "Aegon.")
- Jon Snow does not die. I think there's a few possibilities. Most likely is he warged in to Ghost as he died, meaning he'll be within him for the time being. Other possibility is that Mellisandre will give him the kiss of life and then take him from the wall. Or he'll be taken to Thoros of Myr by Mel, who will resurrect him. This would be very interesting as it would bring Jon face to face with Lady Stoneheart.
Tyrion will meet up with Dany somewhere along the way. He'll help her in some way and Dany will consider making him her Hand.
- The Boltons will flee Winterfell and retreat to the Dreadfort after sections of their army turn on them, now that he no longer has "Arya" as a hostage.
- As Theon is alive, Asha or the Damphair will declare the Kingsmoot that gave Euron his crown as unlawful as Theon, who was a candidate, was not there. Whether Euron will give a s*** is doubtful.

- I'm expecting the Iron Fleet to prove decisive in the battle of Meereen, with Victarion smashing the allied fleets. However, I'm also expecting Dany herself to provide the fatal final blow, leading the khalasar she just met to Meereen and talking the slaver camps by storm. Something along those lines needs to happen if Dany wants to remain the powerful character she was before Meereen where she made bold decisions by herself without needing the judgement of other characters; with her Unsullied, an allied Khal and the forces of Meereen the only thing she'd need Victarion for would be transport to Westeros, which he could definately provide. What Victarion will force her to give for this service is to be seen.
- Jon Snow is dead, but will be brought back by Melisandre's magics. If anything, dying will prove somewhat of a convenience for Snow - he was sworn to serve the Night's Watch until death, he just so happens to have been given a loophole around that now. If he doesn't immediately look to join Stannis, I'll be surprised.
- I'm expecting that with Samwell in Oldtown and Jon dead/going elsewhere, we won't have a Night's Watch POV for the next book or so. So my hope is that at one point, possibly the end of The Winds of Winter, someone will get a letter saying the Wall has either fallen to the Others or infighting. Because really I think this whole series is building up to Dany, the dragons and anyone else with a brain vs the Others.
- Littlefinger... I think Littlefinger will have an unfortunate fate. I think his plan will go swimmingly right up to one last crucial detail, and then go horribly wrong. Just a hunch. I hope not, though.

- I think we'll find out Jon's parentage in the next book as well, I'd be surprised if we had to wait until The Dreams of Spring to get that little nugget of information. I subscribe to the Rhaegar and Lyanna theory, so I think he'll be told that by Howland Reed at some point towards the end of WOW.
- Would Dany lead the Khalasar? I thought Jhaqo didn't like her? Though I suppose that she has a big fire breathing Dragon with her so they'll probably do what they're told. Also Dany doesn't like him either, so I'll be interested to see where she goes. You are right though, she needs to show some competence again because the way she f***ed up in Mereen really put a dent in her character.
- If the Wall falls it will be during the Epilogue I think. I'm actually hoping that it doesn't end up as "Dragons vs Others" because it seems really cliche and obvious. Though I don't doubt that GRRM could probably give a nice twist to it.
- I do wonder what's going on with Bran, his POV ended very early in ADWD. After Mellisandre's chapter in Dance, I'm very suspicious of Bloodraven and the Children of the Forest and their intentions. If they are trying to manipulate him in to helping the Others, then I hope Bran can figure it out and do something. After all the s*** he's been through, I really want the kid to catch some kind of break.
- We'll find out who Coldhands is, probably Benjen Stark as an Other who still has his own personality, maybe because he has the blood of the first men?
- Aegon will take Storms End, leading the attack himself. From there he'll call his banners, and any remaining Targareyan loyalists will come forward. What Dorne will do I don't know, but if they find out about Quentyn and how horribly that went then I think they might declare for him. In fact I do expect Aegon to sit the Iron Throne at some point. GRRM did say multiple people will claim it before the end of the series, he'll probably be one of them.
- Aegon isn't really Aegon, he is in fact son of Illyrio, who's wife was Varys' sister. I think Varys is a Blackfyre, and shaves his head to hide his hair colour.
- I think Sansa will be Littlefingers downfall, he'll put too much faith in her and she'll turn on him when it becomes beneficial for her to do so.
- According to GRRM, he'll write about Osha a bit more in the next book after seeing Natalie Tena's portrayal of her and enjoying it, so it won't be smooth sailing with Rickon.
- Robb's will is going to come up at some point, and it'll name Jon as Robb's successor. What he'll do with that I don't know. My gut feeling is that Catelyn will tell Jon if they meet.
