6. Drogon Burns Them All

Another of the big battles we've been teased - and another that is likely to see a lot of Lannister soldiers meeting their end - the Dothraki are going to have a clash with the lions on an open field.

That itself looks impressive, in particular with the horse-leaping, arakh-swinging stunts from the Dothraki warriors, but it's going to be dominated by one character in particular (and not even a human one at that): Drogon.

Daenerys' biggest dragon is going to get a real Balerion the Black Dread moment as he flies into action, with Dany barely visible atop him, to take out all in his path.

Watching as Drogon flies into the scene is going to be an awe-inspiring sight - especially given he's the size of a 747 - and it's only going to get better once the action literally heats up. He's going to blaze a path through the entire battlefield (it even looks like some Dothraki might be caught up in it too), destroying the Lannister host and giving us the most viscerally thrilling dragon sequence the show has produced to date.
