I'm trying to respond to your post, but I fail to write anything that *doesn't* allude to future events. The next 3-4 years (hopefully) will gonna be so hard...
(though I'm not sure if it has been explained why?!) Tyrion's power is KNOWLEDGE. So he wants to KNOW what life on the wall is like. And wants to gawk at the 2000 yr old wall. So he is just your average annoying tourist :)
Regarding the rest of the Lannisters: I think you will understand what makes them tick and what made them that way when you meet their father. Their motivation may not be justifiable (but then no one's is), but you can see where they are coming from. I even understand Daddy Lannister. Spoiler alert: DADDY ISSUES (suprise)
Well, if my excitement stays at that level, I'll probably have read the books by the end of the break between seasons one and two, so you at least might not be able to spoil ME then. :) Btw. Do you know what they have planned? One book per season?
DADDY ISSUES (suprise) Yay! Let me guess, he's an alcoholic surgeon, who throws his son out of a window, runs a Korean company and finally kills his wife and himself after being conned? :D
They plan to do one book each season. But book 3 is so huge there were talks of making it 2 seasons (or maybe a season with more than 10 episodes?)
But I'm still doubtful if they make it past s2. From what I can gather the reaction wasn't that overwhelming and it needs to attract the mainstream audience.

But I thought the critics loved it?! And I read an article stating that the ratings weren't as bad as they seemed to be at first. I don't find it anymore, but there were some good arguments, not just hopeful fan-argumentation.
Then again, it looks *very* expensive, so I think HBO did hope for more. :/
Jon's goodbye-scenes were touching, especially with Arya and Robb. Btw, I'm pretty sure, Jon isn't just an illegimate child of Ned's. There seems to be more to that story, his goodbye-scene with Ned strongly seemed to hint at this.
I have a very bad feeling that Jon is the son of Ned and his dead sister.
Now that would be truly shocking, considering how they introduced the Starks vs. the Lannisters. But I read speculation (apparently it's not explained in the books yet either) that he might be the son of Ned's sister and her (supposed) kidnapper, which King Robert of course must not know. I think that's more plausible.
That would make him Daenarys' brother I think. That could be intriguing.
However, if he is Ned's nephew, not his son, why wouldn't he tell his wife? I'd understand if he wouldn't tell the king, but he can trust his wife.
Another possibility might be Cersei Lannister. It would explain why no one can know and it would explain the strange glance they shared when the Lannisters arrived at Winterfell.
why wouldn't he tell his wife? I'd understand if he wouldn't tell the king, but he can trust his wife. Maybe one could argue that 'Times were different then and he got caught in the lie' but it's still a pretty good point to shut down this theory.
