Bran's visions at the beginning of this episode were an absolute goldmine of things to spot, and it's no surprise that they've been focused on quite a lot since, with slowed-down versions and such like.

The images themselves can really be split into two different camps, and the first are those pertaining to Targaryens and Lannisters. The most attention grabbing, and frankly awesome, is seeing the Mad King shouting "burn them all" before being killed by Jaime Lannister, who then sits on the Throne.

Also seen her are the pyromancers working under King's Landing, handling the huge stores of wildfire that Aerys intended to burn the city with. That wildfire is particularly interesting because we see it in action. Aerys was killed before his plan was executed, so what are we seeing here? The future, or an alt-version of the past?

An answer may lie in the other related vision, which is of Daenerys after 'birthing' the dragons, and then the shadow of a dragon over King's Landing. We've seen that before, back in Season 4, and the likelihood remains that it is a shot from the future, and the dragon is indeed Drogon. If that's the case, then that could well mean the wildfire is too - after all, a lot was used in the Battle of the Blackwater, but there's still bound to be some leftover.

Dragons and wildfire? Goodbye King's Landing!
