Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 is about to feature the battle at King's Landing, which is said to be "bigger" than the Battle of Winterfell. HBO has dropped the penultimate episode's set photos to give the first look for the next installment's events, and it seems everyone is tensed.
In the first snap, obtained by Time, Varys (Conleth Hill) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) can be seen talking as they make their way away from the shore. After Varys seemed to be convincing Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) to support Jon for the Iron Throne instead of Daenerys in Episode 4, titled "The Last of the Starks," would he convince the former King of the North to claim his right in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5?
The set photos also gave a full look to Harry Strickland (Marc Rissmann). The Golden Company's leader seems to be ready for the big battle as he leads his group outside the King's Landing. Will he stand facing Jon Snow or Daenerys' (Emilia Clarke) dragon in the middle of the fight?
Other Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 set photos show a close-up look to Daenerys, Tyrion, and Grey Worm's (Jacob Anderson) faces. The mother of dragons looks tired and sad as she rests on the pillar of the Chamber of the Painted Table while looking out of the window.
Daenerys may still be morning her lost with the death of Rhaegal and Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel). Come Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5; she will surely be ready to avenge what she considers her child and her most loyal adviser.
Polygon added Tyrion seems to be mad with his frowning look in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5. The Hand of the Queen opposes Daenerys' plan to use Drogon to attack King's Landing as there are too many innocent people that may get involved. With the fury Khaleesi feels, and the theory she is turning the Mad Queen, it looks like she will never pay attention to their advice.
It may be the same thing Grey Worm feels as seen in his snap. The commander of Unsullied seems ready to avenge the death of Missandei.
Euron (Pilou Asbæk) is once again ready to take the scorpion weapon against Daenerys and her dragon. Lastly, the last snap shows Cersei (Lena Headey) in her signature half smile waiting for the battle to ensue. Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 will be out on Sunday, May 12, at 9 p.m. on HBO.
