Any theories/predictions for future events & twists to come in the series? Post them here and say if they have show spoilers or book spoilers (mainly dependent on which the theory is based on)

Book and show prediction (since the show has caught up and even gotten to book 6 materials for this character)
Spoiler: click to toggle Sansa will outsmart Littlefinger and kill him. I know this is pretty common theory but I seriously think it's gonna happen, especially after the blatant foreshadowing in the show. - Tyrion Lannister
-
Sansa's not a killer. Not yet, anyway.
And we can already see Sansa learning and becoming a player.
Book 6 and 7 predictions (I don't read book 6 samples, so I don't know if some of these already happen/are debunked)
Spoiler: click to toggle Red Wedding 2.0 by LSH and BWB or even Arya with her wolf pack Arya killing someone important from her list (Cersei? Walder Frey?) I don't think she'll fully be no one as she still has needle and wolf dreams. I think when she's learned enough from the guild, she'll leave and finish her list. Cleganebowl (Roberst Strong is Gregor and Gravedigger is Sandor) R+L=J (Not a big fan of this but it has quite convincing proofs) Arya will die or cant' stop killing when the winter ends. - A Game of Thrones
-
"You’ll be sewing all through winter. When the spring thaw comes, they will find your body with a needle still locked tight between your frozen fingers.”
Jon warged into Ghost while he was stabbed Tyrion will kill Cersei Dany finally goes to Westeros after reuniting the khalasar (book 6 I think) Stannis dying in book 6 Jaime/Jorah as Azor Ahai Cersei/Dany as Nissa Nissa Pate is Jaqen
Those are the ones I can think of right now.

The steel was polished to such a high sheen that she could see her reflection in the breastplate, gazing back at her as if from the bottom of a deep green pond. The face of a drowned woman, Catelyn thought. Can you drown in grief? She turned away sharply, angry with her own frailty. She had no time for the luxury of self-pity.

Ones for future books with show groundwork
Spoiler: click to toggle Sansa will outsmart and kill Littlefinger Jaime & Cersei are Targaryen's Jon's mother is no one important Syrio=Jaqen Jaime is Azor Azhai Cersei or Brienne is Nissa Nissa Dany will go crazy and try to burn Westeros to the ground
Ones with Groundwork in Books 4/5
Spoiler: click to toggle Red Wedding 2.0/Reverse Red Wedding Jon warged into Ghost Margaery will be found guilty Arya will die at the end of winter, or be unable to stop killing (same reason as Kenny) Cleganebowl

Book and show.
Spoiler: click to toggle -Dany and Tyrion will wage against each other, Dany will win and take the throne -Jon will be resurrected, I don't care what Kit says. -Lady Stoneheart will appear in the show once she is actually important, instead of flying out Michelle Fairly for two scenes -Sam will be a "surprise" hero in some way -Jaime will do something heinous. D&D know how everything ends, so they could have inserted things like the rape scene and murdering his cousin to hint that (like how Stannis never did much good, knowing the character would go on to burn his daughter to death) -Azor Ahai prophesy is severely misread if true at all

   Always.

Spoiler: click to toggle -That'd be this season, most likely -Why would you have some people argue it isn't rape, then? If they just said "We made a change because we think this is the best way to tell the story," it'd work more. It came across more as an attention gimmick. It's also worth noting we don't know the context that Shireen is burned, just that she is burned somehow (in the books, Stannis is marching on Winterfell while Shireen/Melisandre/Selyse are back at Castle Black)
Some of mine
Spoiler: click to toggle -Jon Snow comes back as a wright, or potentially warged into his Direwolf, and goes FAR to the North to where the Whitewalkers are -No One kills Cersei -Dany turns into a major villain by the ending -One of the Tyrells will die next season. Most likely Olenna or Loras -Cleganebowl will NOT happen, at least in show -Reverse Red Wedding -Arya dies next season -Jaime and Cersei are Targaryens -Sansa kills Littlefinger -Theon will probably die next Season

Spoiler: click to toggle Because saying it isn't a rape at all removes any questions before they are asked. Saying it was a story choice would be a big red flag that Jaime isn't fully redeemed. And I kind of refuse to believe no one realized it was a rape scene. Seriously, if that scene is genuinely meant to be consensual, every single person on that set should be registered on a sex offender's list.
As far as Cleganebowl goes, they already confirmed The Mountain is the Franken-knight. I have to say, it doesn't sit right with me that that son of a bitch outlives his awesome brother.

Spoiler: click to toggle I was always under the impression it was done for controversy/attention more than anything else. It'd also... kind of COMPLETELY destroy him Season 3/Book 3 and beyond to have him go back and do something even worse than throwing Brann out a window :/ Also, in the case of Stannis, the showrunners have stated that they didn't like his character before and are on the record as big Dany fans. He was by far her most popular rival in the books. I'm not sure these guys are quite as unbiased as you're giving them credit for. I also think it's a bit... strange to argue that they know where the series is going to end better than the author who's giving them all this info. And if it is GRRM's plan to destroy his character taht way... Well, I'm glad the books won't be ending in that case. And I'd be genuinely tempted to quit the show too. I'm NOT happy with the way the showrunners have handled him, as a book reader, and that probably would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's not impossible, but I'd have expected Monk!Hound to make an appearance at some point by now and well... he hasn't. And bringing him back out of nowhere to fight his brother so wouldn't work.

Spoiler: click to toggle Who says they know better than GRRM? They know what GRRM knows, and aren't taking the same amount of time to get there. Rather than meander like books 4/5, they went straight to the point such as with Stannis' downfall (and if I knew Stannis burned his daughter to death, I wouldn't consider him the Mannis either). And why just stir pointless controversy in the most eventful season of the series? The most hated character in history had JUST died. I wont like it either, but these Jaime things seem like they could be building toward something. You say in the books that Brienne is taking him to LSH and they're likely to kill each other? Brienne is the very person that changed him in the first place. She can also be the person that reverts him back to the old him by betraying him.

So, I'm not really set in stone on this, but I've been toying around with the idea of Queen Sansa a lot (or at least her ruling Winterfell. Or something) Her entire character arc seems to be practically grooming this girl for a leadership position, from the people she encounters, her adaptability, and the fact that while she's shown a lot of strength and been through a fuck of a lot.. she's still held onto a lot of what makes her a good person (unlike, say, Arya. Who's going a biT off the deep end) And above all, unlike a lot of characters on this show.... Sansa is one of the only characters to ever learn and grow from her mistakes. Most just repeat them and blame someone else.
Plus, her entire character is a deconstruction of a stereotypical fantasy/Disney princess. You know, the one who always marries a prince and becomes queen at the end of the story. Would make sense for her to end up on the throne with all said and done.
As said, not committed, but I've been toying with it a lot. And it would certainly be unexpected to most people, since she's never been thrown around as a candidate. She doesn't have the legal claim, but considering Stannis and Dany, I think it's safe to say GRRM isn't actually big on the whole "divine right" thing
