"Game of Thrones" showrunners set a rule but plan to break it in the next season. During a Q&A with film students in Spain, David Benioff and Dan Weiss revealed that the upcoming season 5 would have "flashbacks" that they had tried to avoid since the first season.

"Making the first season, we set a rule: No prophecies, dreams, or flashbacks," one of the producers said as translated from a Spanish website. "We already failed the first two, and this season we broke the third. So yes, this season will finally have flashbacks."

Entertainment Weekly says a flashback scene will open the first episode of the fifth season, but that could change in editing.
