12 Times Game of Thrones Sneakily Foreshadowed the Future

It seems strange now, but there was a time when Jaime Lannister was impossible to like. Back in season one, Jaime is the epitome of Lannister arrogance and selfishness — symbolized by that time he pushes a child out of a window to cover up the fact that he's banging his sister.

In the show's second episode, the Lannisters are eating breakfast in Winterfell and discussing poor Bran's condition. Jaime remarks that even if Bran wakes up, he'll be a "grotesque cripple," and he couldn't imagine living like that himself. "Give me a good, clean death any day." At the time, it simply sounds like an obnoxious thing that his obnoxious character would say. But this is Game of Thrones.

Jump ahead a season and the great Jaime Lannister gets to see what Bran's world is like when he gets his right hand — his sword hand — chopped off.
