4. Dragon Riding

Daenerys and Jon get up close with her two dragons, which might suggest we're going to see _both_ of them riding dragons this season. That's nothing new for Dany of course, but Jon riding Rhaegal, the one named after his father, would be quite the sight to behold (although still no substitute for seeing Ghost...*ahem*).

It also nicely contrasts the size difference of the siblings. Drogon is huge compared to Rhaegal, which just proves you shouldn't keep a dragon locked up. There are also some charred remains next to them, meaning they've been given a feast - could this even come after the battle?
