"When the seas go dry"
At the end when Dany is in the Dothraki sea again, looking for Drogon, she notices that the grass is drying/dying. (autumn/winter most probably also catch up with the Dothraki lands on Esteros)
"and mountains blow in the wind like leaves."
The pyramids of Mereen blow in the wind like leaves when the dragons were set loose, and attack the pyramids.
"When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child."
Near the end of ADWD Dany is bleeding, she wonders if it's her period, and then concludes that her periods was months ago.
The blood is much more then a period as well, she concludes, but it's still blood. Not blood and ****, like the pale mare sickness.
Conclusion: whe was having a misscariage, and was bearing a living child before that. (her womb had at least quickened again)
"Then he will return, and not before."
Just then it is that Drogon (Drogo) returns to her, and accepts her as his master.
It's obviously just a theory, especially the part about the blood is not the strongest, but in general it's imho a very cool theory,
and it does justice to the imho most aching prophecy of the books, and Drogon accepting Dany is a real turning point in her story, imho.

I've been enjoying their gratuitous use of places I've visited...
Iceland looked like Lake Myvatn, and the Moroccan part I've been through too.
Add that to Northern Ireland and Malta and the fact that I'll be visiting Dubrovnik in a month or so and I've pretty much got a clean sweep of GoT locations!Last edited by MOBIUS; April 30, 2013, 10:36.

I think they've gotten better at streamlining the story even while keeping the basics of it the same. They've certainly gotten better at making things dramatic.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

I imagine all the pretty bits have been tarted up again.

Generally speaking, the more supernatural this show gets, the less I enjoy it. I watch it for the scheming and intrigue, not the Dungeons and Dragons guff which just detracts from the rest of the plot.
Having said that, last episode's flaming swordfight between Meltyface and One-Eye kicked bum. It was well choreographed- not fancy Errol Flynn-type swashbuckling, but two bloke just whaling the crap out of each other with heavy metal. And then they dicked it up with resurrection. Well, I'll not get too upset by anyone else in that bunch of beardy desperados encountering a spot of death in future episodes.
While the Ygritte scene got Poly hot under the collar, I think she got completely blown out of the water by the Incredible She-Hulk's awe-inspiring botty airing. I have no idea if a bum double was used, but it was magnificent and fully justifies my recent obsession with the good lady. Incidentally I note that the actress chose to combat her lack of confidence in her body by putting her nudes all over Google, so if anyone feels like showing support for those struggling with bodily stereotypes or lack of confidence please go and look at her muff as a gesture of solidarity with the Sisterhood.
