On another note, I'm changing my prediction for Jamie. I must have missed something my first watch through, but upon a second look, he's quite obviously left Team-Cersei. He's becoming a "good guy", so I suspect he will live.
I've noticed that the show tends to turn bad characters good if they plan to let them live, and good characters bad if they plan to kill them off.
Example: Meryn Trant. It's not his fault Joffrey was a psycho. But he's a kingsguard and he does what he's told or they chop his head off. Can't really blame the guy for following orders. And if Syrio decided to be a hero for Arya, that's on him. I don't see how we can blame Mr. Trant for doing his duty. But Arya did, and when it came time for her to kill him, suddenly Mr. Trant isn't so honorable. Now that he has to die, we found out that he's a sexual deviant who likes to brutalize adolescent girls. Like...where the fuck did that come from??
Pycell seemed like a nice old man, then suddenly became slimy just before he died. Tormund was the psycho who led murder-raids south of the Wall. Then he became part of the plot, now he's a teddy bear.
