I didn't even give it a second thought. I did recognize four of the clips though. 1)Ned in jail. 2)Ned cleaning sword 3)creepy little zombie girl from the first episode of the series and 4)the shot of the snowy field. The shot of the snowy field looked like the opening shot of season 3. If these scenes have anything in common, it might give us a hint about his visions. And I'm inclined to think that the dragon flying over King's Landing was a false vision or a vision of the past. We know winter lasts for years and years here, but it didn't look like winter. Unless the show is going to do a time jump, that either wasn't a future we will see, or it's a vision of the past. But a time jump could make sense soon, as things might be dying down in KL, Arya won't have much to do, there won't be much at the wall after they fight--I could totally see the the author just butchering the entire nights watch...where does the show go from here, but to wait for some characters to grow up a little bit?

Renly was the favorite as far as numbers go. The Lannisters had Tywin. I suspect that in the minds of many people man who caused the annihilation of a house carries more weight than an untested, charismatic guy. The Lannisters also snaked their way into surviving the transition between Targaryen rule and Baratheon rule. While they are outnumbered, they have proven to be survivors and the average lord might not be so keen to fight against them.

SO I noticed something interesting in the scene where Tyrion sends Shae away (finally, good lord....). On the left of the shot is white, and it has a sort of gradient to black moving to the right. Is this foreshadowing Tyrion's story? Such a shot seemed very purposeful. It was striking and we got to see Tyrion contemplating what he was about to do. Or perhaps it was just meant to reflect his conflict about it. But I think they conveyed that through the use of that shaky cam that seems to be everywhere now. So is this a hint at where he is going? He already seems so much less happy than he did in the beginning of the show. The life was sucked right out of him after the battle at King's Landing. Some shaky evidence for this could be that if you view Tyrion's story on a timeline, it matches up with his mood. Light---------------->Dark Season 1 was Tyrion at his lightest, and brightest. He was funny, he was full of life, and seemed to have a certain confidence in who he was. "Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you" Season two he gets to King's Landing and starts to enter the grey area. A bit of the fun is taken out of him, but he's still everyone's favorite imp. He starts to lie, obfuscate, and manipulate because that's what you have to do to survive in King's Landing. And he does thrive. But he also causes hundreds, perhaps thousands, of men to die a terrifying, painful death. He moves down the gradient. At the end of season 2, he only has Shae left and he seems a bit defeated. Season 3 the life is just utterly drained out of him under the presence of his father. Closer and closer to the (perhaps literal, if I am correct) dark side. This leaves me to wonder what horrible things he might do if he reaches that dark side. An intelligent man with a vendetta is not an enemy you want to have...Here's a screenshot for reference. Sorry it's so large, I'm not sure how to resize.
