Here's the 'Game of Thrones' Episode 8 preview detail you probably missed

Anyone who's watched the preview for next week's Game of Thrones episode will know that there's probably going to be plenty of bloodshed.

In particular, we'll finally get to see that much-anticipated "I choose violence" scene from the original trailer, which will almost certainly involve The Mountain splattering multiple sparrows in a gleeful melee of bone-snapping destruction.

Now, thanks to a small detail observed by Reddit user lmoral, we can get a more exact idea of how the whole thing is going to play out.

First, take another look at The Mountain in that top image and make a note of his gleaming, not-a-scratch-on-it body armour.

Now let's jump forward to this scene, where our unlikely trio wade through a crowd of interested onlookers.

Yep, there's a small dent in The Mountain's breastplate. So putting two and two together, that scene has to come after the one in which Cersei squares off against Lancel, right?

Now here's another screengrab that shows The Mountain advancing ominously towards the sparrows (who are probably starting to regret their step-aside-or-there-will-be-violence ultimatum).

That's right: the spiked weapon Lancel is gingerly clutching is a perfect match with the dent we see on The Mountain's breastplate in that later scene.

So to extrapolate, it looks as thought Lancel might be about to croak it in this coming episode. Unless he manages to run away very quickly after striking that first, measly blow, the chances are he's going to end up in a similar position to this guy:

So long, sparrows.
