The Night's King sitting on a frosted-over Iron Throne. The rest of the series will be a flashback showing how it all went down.
Or, if they don't want to go the route of Heroes or Breaking Bad season openers...
It'll be something (seemingly) relatively low key, like Theon attempting to free Yara.
[quote]He is still the son of a Stark, he was raised by Ned at Winterfell and he remains a selfless and inspirational leader[/quote]That may well be the significance of his speech to Theon about being both Stark and Greyjoy; he may have the blood of one house, but he was raised with the morals and outlook of another. The same is also true of Jon, and he needs to hope that the Stark allies see this in him the way he saw it in Theon.
She sees the seven deadly sins as her "to do" list.
They were hoping he'd one day get to use his name to taunt Theon.

Maybe she's collecting Great Houses. Her group already includes (either directly or via potential alliance)
- Targaryen
- Lannister
- Greyjoy
- Stark
If she gets Baratheon via Gendry, she only needs
- Arryn
- Tully
and potentially Frey and Martell (house statuses currently uncertain) to complete the set and have all Great Houses somehow represented under on ruler.
[quote]BTW, our moon does have a side which never faces us but it is not always dark. Sometimes the far-side is the dark side and sometimes the near-side is the dark side.[/quote]That much is true, I highlighted the wrong feature. The important part is that there is a side that always faces away from us.
As for the Westerosi not knowing of the planet - they're the equivalent of medieval Earth civilisation, before global circumnavigation; they wouldn't necessarily have known of anything too far beyond the western coast of Westeros or the eastern coast of Essos. Alternatively, there could be yet another continent inhabited by people who have killed all outsiders.
Or GRRM could have an entirely different explanation of time ("it's all magic").
Our own moon has a dark side which never faces us. The Westeros / Essos moon could be the same thing - all it would need is for its own speed of rotation to keep it facing away from the planet as it orbits. It's orbit would then determine the night / day cycle.
The only question (as Atarimaster pointed out) is if a moon can have its own moon / satellite.
It's OK - in the next episode, he's going to reveal that Bard the Bowman has recently immigrated from Lake Town.
I think that both you and Atarimaster missed the point of what I was saying. Kawada_Kira said [quote]If you force someone to have sex with you, it's rape. The legal status of marriage does not change that[/quote] Historically, including the time period on which GoT is based, the state of marriage [I]did[/I] change whether or not it was rape. Regardless of Dany's feelings on the matter, her husband would have right of control over her, so it is not rape.
It doesn't fit with modern law or opinions, but it is in keeping with the time in real human history which inspired a lot of the story. You can't apply modern opinions and morals to a time period (including fictional equivalents) when such opinions and morals weren't held.
