7 Game Of Thrones Relationships We're Still Waiting For

1. Jon And Daenerys

Game Of Thrones Brienne Jaime
HBO

Everybody stand back and get ready for the show's ultimate power couple. Let's get the ick factor out of the way: yes, these two characters are aunt and nephew. Which is, you know, not ideal. But that's hardly without precedent within the noble houses of this world (especially the Targaryens) and they very well could be the titular ice and fire in A Song of Ice and Fire. And as it currently stands, these are two hot young consenting adults who have no idea that they're related, and who have a great deal to gain from an alliance together.

Frankly it would be surprising if nothing went on between them. And to be honest, the Seven Kingdoms need to get a couple in charge who are not complete monsters -- they might end up living in peace for a change and not becoming gross ice zombies.

The show's promotional team has certainly been working in overdrive to play up the relationship (see the multitude of photo shoots with the two of them) and with the two characters having now just met on screen for the first time ever...well, sparks didn't exactly fly, but there was definitely some serious potential.

Chances of this happening: It's about a 50/50 shot at this point. It does seem like the sort of thing George R.R. Martin would do.

Which relationships are you hoping for on Game of Thrones? Let us know down in the comments.
