12 Times Game of Thrones Sneakily Foreshadowed the Future

From the very beginning, it's clear that Margaery Tyrell is no ordinary young woman. Beautiful, smart, and ambitious, it almost seems a shame for her to be hidden away behind her husband Renly Baratheon. But she has no plans to stay there for long.

After Renly's . . . unconventional death in season two, Margaery speaks with Littlefinger about the fact that Renly only called himself a king, so she wasn't really a queen. Littlefinger asks if she wants to be a queen, and she answers immediately that she wants to be THE queen.

Coming from the calm, confident Margaery, this doesn't sound like just wishful thinking from a young widow. The Tyrells end up striking an alliance with the Lannisters and help assure their victory in the Battle of Blackwater Bay at the end of season two. Afterward, King Joffrey asks Margaery's brother Loras how to repay him for his help, and well, fast-forward two seasons and we have Queen Margaery.
