When it comes to Game of Thrones, we all know that the penultimate episodes of every season are special.
Baelor saw Ned Stark lose his head as the War of the Five Kings went into overdrive. From that moment on, Game of Thrones fans knew that nobody was safe.
Episode 9 of Season 2 saw Stannis Baratheon's forces lay siege to King's Landing at Blackwater Bay until Tyrion's clever plan absolutely obliterated the Lord of Dragonstone in a haze of wildfire.
House Stark will never accept another wedding invitation again as The Rains of Castamere became synonymous with the utter shock, horror and drama that unfolded at the Red Wedding.
The battle between the Night's Watch and the wildlings finally arrived as The Watchers on the Wall faced their toughest challenge yet. Under Jon Snow's leadership, they rallied and did their very best to stop Mance Rayder's army in the second last episode of Season 4.
Princess Shireen Baratheon was burned alive as The Dance of Dragons saw Stannis Baratheon lose what was left of his soul.
And finally, the Battle of the Bastards redefined the scope and scale of modern TV because what unfolded on the fields of Winterfell will go be remembered as one of - if not THE greatest- episode of TV.
Simply put, the second last episode of every Game of Thrones season is breathtaking.
Ladies and gents, prepare to great 'death as the enemy' because Jon Snow will be leading his suicide squad beyond the Wall as they take on the White Walkers and their army of wights in the next episode.
As always, keep reading because we'll break down the trailer for you frame-by-frame.

Jon sees what's coming.
No turning back now.
The Fellowship of the Wight.
A shot that's very similar to the Lord of the Rings.

Here's where the Children of the Forrest created the White Walkers.
A forlorn Dany
Does she miss Jon? Is she worried about the safety of his party beyond the Wall? Will she come to Jon's aid?
The army are on the move
The dead are coming and they're not moving slowly.
Into the blizzard
Circular formation. Hold the lines and dig in!
Winterfell feels odd
Sansa looks spooked about something.
The wight stuff
Yep, they're going to need fire and lots of it.
Hammer time
Notice how The Hound is using Gendry's hammer here? Could Robert Baratheon's bastard be in some trouble?
Familiar foes
Jon has a chance to take out another one of the Night King's generals, just like he did at Hardhome.
To the rescue.
The gates at Castle Black are opening up.
Are they going out to fight and join Jon, or are they desperately running out to rescue what's left of the party?
Fire and blood.
Beric Dondarrion with *the* money shot from the season trailer.
Get the hell out of there
RUN! Because...
Winter is here
He's down off the horse.
Could we finally be seeing the Night King in combat mode?
