HBO releases official images from “Stormborn,” the second episode of Game of Thrones season 7

It’s that time of week — when HBO releases new images from the next episode of Game of Thrones. In this case, it gave us a new batch of pics from “Stormborn,” the second episode of season 7. Let’s give ’em a look.

We glimpsed this scene in the trailer, and it looks very promising — Daenerys gathers her allies in the war room at Dragonstone and discusses how best to take King’s Landing from Cersei. It’ll be a trip to see Dany, Tyrion, Yara, and Ellaria Sand all in a room. And in the trailer, you can see that the likes of Theon, Varys, Grey Worm, and Olenna Tyrell are there as well. It should be quite the meeting of the minds.

Meanwhile, over in Oldtown, Sam continues to perform his menial duties as best he can. At least this shot doesn’t involve any bedpans. Oh, and if there was any ambiguity remaining, the subtitle for this shot confirms the identity of Jim Broadbent’s character: Archmaester Ebrose.

At Winterfell, Jon and Littlefinger chat in the crypts. As we saw in the trailer, Jon throttles Littlefinger soon after, so whatever he says, it was ill-judged.

Above ground, Jon and Davos Seaworth mount up. Methinks they’re headed to pay a visit to the Dragon Queen, given that she’s sitting on a mountain of dragonglass and everything.

Finally, the other Stark sister is also on the move. But the move to where? King’s Landing to kill the queen? Or Winterfell to reunite with her family?
