5. The Sand Snakes are far more likable in the books.

I still liked them in the show but mostly because of the books.

I think the Dorne storyline could have been done better. (in the books, as well, for that matter)

Cersei will end the Martell family line....in the show, as not all the Martells made it from the books into the show.

Theon will get justice, I think. Or kill himself.

For all his faults - a bully, and ultimately like all bullies - weak when push comes to actual shove - he has paid a huge price for his crimes and betrayals.

If he is around when Jon arrives at Dragon Stone, that will prove to be a bit tense.

I think Sam is going to decide to go to Dragon Stone. Maybe he'll already be there. He'll take a healed(?) Jorah Mormont with him.

I think Arya might have decided to ride south again. Because of what she said to Nymeria.

I hope not though.

I know good does not often prevail in the manner it should, and ugly compromises are all too often made under the banner of good...but I still want it all to end the way I want it to end.

If Sansa betrays Jon, she must die. Likely, though - she'll survive and flourish. I still don't like her character. I simply can't. I've felt bad for her and she has been abused mightily, but I still don't like her.

The true power hub will be on Dragon Stone though. All 3 heads of the dragon will be together - and they don't even know it. Yet.

Bran and Meera need to get a move on and soon. He's got some tree-time stories to tell.
