Episode two of Game of Thrones’ latest season felt like the calm before a colossal storm, and HBO has seen fit to share some stills from the upcoming bloodbath ahead on Monday night.
Of course, there’s not much actual blood in them, just a few things for you to speculate on. Here’s Jon Snow and Daenerys, for example, auditioning for a role in the next John Lewis Christmas advert.
