'Game Of Thrones' Just Released 8 New Photos From Next Week's Episode And Things Look Bleak

h/t: Entertainment Weekly.

We've got spoilers here!

Extra, extra, read all about it! Diply writer creates an article with Season 8 spoilers, readers are warned to toss their phones into a moving train if they want to avoid them!

Have they left?

HBO

They better have, because we need to talk about Episode 4. Well, at least the photos that are associated with episode 4. You know, the ones that just came out.

With Episode 3 done, we have a lot to look forward too.

The trailer has been out for some time now, but we didn't learn much from it.

How will the characters react to Arya's destruction of the Night King?

How will they react to the deaths of their friends? And finally... will Ghost come back from the fray?

Emilia Clarke said to watch out for Episode 5 on an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

But said nothing about Episode 4, which means Episode 4 might just be the "planning stage" before the big battle in Episode 5.

Kind of like how Episode 2 was the precursor for Episode 3.

My prediction:

HBO

Is that Episode 4 will be a gap bridging episode. We'll watch the people get burned in the pyre (you'll see that happening soon), we'll get some planning and if I had to guess, we'll end on a shot of Daenerys' fleet arriving at King's Landing.

Without further ado, here are the pictures.

HBO

Keep in mind we're building our predictions based on these pics, so pay close attention folks.

We want to be able to ruin the episode for ourselves before we even watch it.

First off, we start with a picture of Daenerys' fleet

Entertainment Weekly

As I said, I think this will be the last shot of the episode, before we turn around and see that they're heading towards King's Landing.

I know it's probably not the best practice to show your last shot in the trailer, but it the fact they're going to King's Landing isn't all that important.

Next, we have Daenerys looking hopeful.

And even little Drogon has a glimmer of hope in his... it's eye. They're probably looking to the sky, thinking of how close they are to their destiny of the Iron Throne.

We have some people coming to burn the dead

Entertainment Weekly

This will probably be one of the first scenes, tying things together from the last episode. In fact, I would wager that this shot might even be one of the first to appear in the episode.

We have Jon Snow, looking somber.

Entertainment Weekly

Probably ready to light a pyre. Like before, I'd say this will be one of the first scenes and might even feature Jon or Daenerys giving a speech at some point.

Here we see some of the Starks mourning.

Entertainment Weekly

Next to some other characters. I think I've got the future pinned for Sansa and Arya, but Bran is a mystery to me. Will he survive is the biggest question on my mind.

Next, we have Daenerys, Tyrion and others.

Entertainment Weekly

Mourning at the funeral, no doubt. Tyrion for some reason looks a little distracted, to be honest, and Daenerys doesn't even look that sad. This will be during the funeral scene, obviously.

We get a picture of planning, no doubt.

Entertainment Weekly

I would bet the master strategist Jon Snow is telling Daenerys where the best place to attack King's Landing would be. I'm sure there will be a scene where everyone discusses the plan for Episode 5.

Finally, we have Cersei and Euron looking smug.

Entertainment Weekly

Oh, they've got a plan.

They know the Starks and Daenerys are coming for them, so I'm assuming it'll have something to do with wildfire. Or, maybe they won't even reveal it. Keep it a secret for Episode 5.

What do you think is going to happen in Episode 4?

HBO

Will it be a planning episode? Will anybody significant die during those long 80 minutes? Or will it bridge the gap between Episode 3 and 5, maybe just have some cool character moments?
