So book readers may notice things from future books this year. As usual there likely will be themes and characters added or dropped as Benioff and Weiss see fit.

Lastly, I predict at some point (I can't pin point where) the secret will come out that Cersei Lannister was trifling and those kids were not heirs of the king. That secret must come out. I bet Ned told Arya before he died :)
I'm looking forward to season 4.

My predictions/expectations for this season are simple: I have none. I know better than to try to predict anything post-Red Wedding. I hope that Daenerys and the dragons let loose, kill Joffrey's bitch ass, free Sansa's high falutin' ass, allow the youngest Stark girl to get some revenge, get Jon Snow back into the land of the living, and let them all get outsmarted by Tyrion Lannister. But that's just wishful thinking that has no place in this show. So I'm just gonna sit back and watch and enjoy the show.

Season 3 of GOT was the only season that I had only watched once. The other two I’ve watched about a half dozen times. Honestly, it was painful. Not the entire season but after seeing the Red Wedding and everything after it, dealing with the Starks seemed utterly pointless. I’m not sure about my blog partners here but I am a die hard Stark bannerman. Because let’s face it, Winter is Coming. But this post is supposed to be about our predictions for season 4, and boy am I excited. I finally got up the courage to re-watch season 3 and there are a few things I am thinking could go down in Season 4.
Valar Morghulis - A saying used by the Braavosi has been used a lot in promotion of season 4. It was first used in season 2 by Jaq’en Hagar in his farewell to Arya and it means “all men must die.” I think the significance of this phrase for season 4 cannot be overstated, as I believe there will be even more shocking deaths this year. Could Joffrey be one? The Tyrells know how despicable he is and clearly, although they have partnered with the Lannisters they are not friends. Then you have the Red Viper, (Oberyn Martell) who has shown up for the royal wedding and apparently is not happy with the Lannisters either. Lastly you have Stannis Baratheon. One thing I noticed after rewatching season 3 was the ceremony he performed with the leeches Melisandre pulled from Gendry. There were three leeches, each representing someone on his kill list. The first name was Robb Stark, who as we know was murdered. The second name was Balon Greyjoy. The last name was Joffrey Baratheon. Let’s also not forget that the sorcery of the lord of lights was also responsible for the death of Renly Baratheon. If this spell was responsible for the death of Robb Stark, regardless of the actual circumstances that contributed to his death such as treachery and bad decisions, then the others could be next. One thing we know about Game of Thrones is that no one is safe.

Daenerys: I have been a huge fan of the mother of dragons since I began watching the show. She is beautiful, strong and cares about her people. I also worry about the new power she is quickly acquiring and how it will affect her. I think this season she will continue to liberate nations and rally them to her side. I would like to see her return to Westeros. I am also interested in seeing if she will fall in love again. Particularly with this Daario Naharis who seems to have some feelings toward her.
Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch: I am looking for Jon Snow to be leading the Night’s Watch in this season. I believe he will try and reconcile with Ygritte in some way. From the trailer you know that he reunites with Samwell Tarley, which means he’ll be told about what Bran is doing. I am expecting him to also look to reconnect with his brother as well as seek retribution for Robb. The Night’s Watch seems to be in shambles, but I think they will rise again and take on a different role than they ever have given the unique circumstances.
