Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer 2 Reactions: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

2. Everyone's Going To Die, Aren't They?

Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Jon Snow
HBO

There are multiple shots in the trailer of Jon's away team seemingly heading beyond the wall to try and create an alliance with the Wildlings who still haven't been killed by the White Walkers (somehow). Naturally, there's a hint of lots of violence, as the traditional enemies clash, and while that probably will have a happy ending (especially as Jon and his cohorts appear dressed in Wildling clothes), there's a horrible ominous feel to it.

That is particularly obvious with the shot of Jon riding alone - seemingly injured - that appears later on in the trailer. This, unfortunately, looks like what remains of his heroic alliance, and you'd have to suspect that it means everyone else is killed off (or incapacitated another way).

It's obvious that we're going to lose characters this season, but the cast is pretty great, and it's going to be an awful wrench to see the more minor - but brilliant - characters like Tormund, Beric and Bronn killed off for dramatic effect. It's all starting to feel very real.
