The rise of the Lannisters, a decline in direwolves, and more — BuzzFeed analyzed the scripts from the first two seasons for indications of things to come.
BuzzFeed collected and scrutinized every script from the first twenty episodes of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. The goal: to find trends in the mention of Houses, creatures and other elements of the show in order to predict what's going to happen in the highly anticipated season 3, premiering March 31.
Why look into the flames when you can look at the data? Read on for some (spoiler-free) expectations!
1. More dragons, fewer direwolves.
Faithful viewers won't be surprised by the spikes BuzzFeed found in the mentions of dragons. Especially given the trailers we've seen so far, expect even more in season 3. On the other hand, white walkers and direwolves dropped off in season 2. While you can expect the mysterious humanoids from north of the Wall to play a bigger role than ever based on the end of season 2, direwolves seem to be on the outs with one dead and another lost in the woods.

2. A decrease in the influence of lords — and their swords.
We saw a decrease in the use of the words "Lord" and "sword" from season one to two. It can probably be explained by the increasing frequency of magical entities — swords and titles mean nothing in the face of dragons and walking corpses. Look for these drop-offs to persist as the fantastical aspects of the series gain steam.
