Game Of Thrones Season 7: 9 Hints From 'Death Is The Enemy' Trailer

7. Dany Is Unhappy

The reality of this episode is probably that we're going to spend most of the time following Jon and his buddies travelling - Fellowship Of The Ring style - through the North until they come across the white army, and then the aftermath of their first squirmish, but we will also get to see some of Dany brooding at Dragonstone.

She really doesn't look like a leader whose plans are going exactly as expected or hoped. Could it be that she's realised what a massive disaster this plan will turn out to be? That she's once again entrusted Tyrion - who has so far f*cked up two massive plans - to ensure the safety of key allies?

Just reading the body language, it looks like there's a growing divide between the two.

And Tyrion does look a little sheepish...

This is not all just emo-posturing, incidentally. There's a reason we're at Dragonstone, and it's definitely to set up the fact that Dany is going to swoop in to save the doomed party at the last minute. There are too many useful people to her up there and the longer they're missing, the more likely she is to be impulsive once more to save them.

No doubt against Tyrion's express advice.
