Screencap breakdown: The second trailer for Game of Thrones season 7
By Dan Selcke
You know that Lannister-Targaryen smackdown we mentioned? It looks like one of Dany’s dragons drops in, because when we check back in with Jaime, he’s riding his beautiful white horse pell-mell through a scorched wasteland.
This next shot technically comes a little later, but it’s clearly from the same sequence so I’ll put it here: Dothraki horsemen emerging from a wall of flame.
Hot damn, that sequence is gonna be nuts.
Speaking of fire, we see something explode on a boat, probably part of the sequence with Theon that keeps popping up.
In another shot, we see fire literally raining down from the sky onto the boat.
Theon and Yara do not look pleased.
How is Euron Greyjoy (I’m assuming Euron is attacking the ships here) managing this? Is it just flaming catapults, or does he have something else up his sleeve?
Speaking of Euron, we also get a quick shot of him tearing into an unfortunate someone.
And here, we see a shot of how Euron and company board Theon and Yara’s ship.
In other desperate battles, Tormund swings an axe into someone.
Here’s Drogon riding alongside the Dothraki, probably moments before he chars the battlefield:
The Lannister lines are strong, but are they going to hold against that?
If I were a betting man, I’d say no.
Back up north, we get this terrifying shot of Jon and company standing on some raised ground surrounded by what I’m guessing are wights.
But at least Missandei and Grey Worm are finding some happiness in all this chaos.
It confuses Tyrion, though.
Here’s an interesting shot: a figure in silhouette draws a sword.
The background kind of looks like the ruins at Italica, where the production filmed a particularly important scene. The figure looks like the Hound, but we can’t be certain.
Back int he land of certainty, Jon Snow and Davos commune. I’m betting they’re at Dragonstone.
And from that we cut to someone fighting a freaking White Walker! Quite the transition!
And from there to someone — I think Theon — collapsing on a beach. Perhaps he just narrowly survived that burning battle at sea and returned to Dragonstone.
And then a big close-up of Drogon (notice tiny little Dany on his back)…
…takes us into Sansa’s closing line, which is something Ned Stark says in A Game of Thrones: “When the snows fall…
…and the white winds blow…
…the lone wolf dies…
…but the pack survives.”
I’m not sure who that lone figure on the horse is, but the final shot is of Jon facing down a legion of wights, Longclaw in hand.
Game on, people, Game on.
