1) Cold Hands. Him showing up would be a great cliffhanger, and they have to work him in at some point since they didn't with the raven tree scene.
2) Cat's resurrection.
Also, my guess for Azor Ahai:

Actually there would be plenty to occupy people during the next season if they have the first royal wedding as the tenth episode. There is all of Tyrion's trial and the Serpent/Viper guy, there's Cold Hands, Sansa running away, Arya getting to the Faceless God's temple, lots of stuff. Plus, I think it's possibly more likely to go that way because I doubt they will have Tyrion drop off the face of the earth for possibly two seasons if they follow Feast for Crows and Dance With Dragons. They're likely going to intertwine those storylines to some degree.

Spoiler:
They've confirmed the royal wedding is season 4.
Also, I'm fairly certain they WON'T do the story split like they did for Feast/Dance, for the simple fact that they don't want to pay all of those actors for not even turning up for work, which is the reason they gave for changing the original actors that shwoed up in bit roles in the first 2 seasons, like Dondarrion and Stannis's wife. My guess is Feast/Dance will split the story like Storm of Swords, vertically rather than horizontally.

Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin wrote an op-ed about Sunday's episode. Warning, it contains spoilers. Although you've probably already read the previous spoilers so I guess it's safe enough.

Sir Isaac Newton may be the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space, but John von Neumann is the logistics officer that eats your problems and turns them into kit.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

All the people cursing the HBO Executives kinda remind me of a lady that complained about how unfair it is to Peter Jackson that some random dude released a novelisation of the Lord of the Rings...

My favourite part of the series so far apart from Dany (before she went all weak at the......knees) at the slavers city.
Thought Frey and Bolton were very good.....

I've read all the books, so I knew what was coming.
But I have to say that the show really was able to fully capture the fethed up-ness of the Red Wedding and make it shocking even if you knew it was coming.

Of course he was. The Starks were Kings of the North prior to the Targaryen take over. They professed fealty to the Targaryens. When they were no more, Eddard Stark professed fealty to Robert Baratheon. Since his line (seemingly) went on to behead the reigning Stark, there was nothing tying the Starks down anymore, and they reasserted their claim as Kings of the North.
