'Game of Thrones': HBO's new photos from 'The Prince of Winterfell' and 'Blackwater'

There are only 3 episodes left in Season 2 of "Game of Thrones." The show has only gotten better this season, now that we're really into the meat of the story. Episode 8, "The Prince of Winterfell" has Theon (Alfie Allen) receiving an important visitor. Arya (Maisie Williams) requests her third and final death from Jaqen (Tom Wlaschiha). Stannis' (Stephen Dillane) army heads to the big battle.

And that big battle? Fans of the book know it's the Battle of Blackwater. This episode, entitled simply "Blackwater" was written by series author George R.R. Martin himself! This penultimate episode has been talked about by fans since the series was first announced.

We've got two images. The one above is from "The Prince of Winterfell." The one below is from "Blackwater." Check them out and let us know what you think. A preview of episode 9 will air at 10 p.m. PST/1 a.m. EST and we'll have that for you right away.
