"Battle of the Bastards," the epic ninth episode of Game of Thrones, became an instant classic due to the suffocatingly intense fight scenes between the armies of Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton. It was riveting drama. Also, it looked really, really good.
It contained enough great shots that almost as soon as it ended, fans were asking around for wallpaper images of the best-looking scenes -- perfect for pretending you're the Mother of Dragons or Warden of the North while typing away on your computer at work.
Here's a collection of the most awe-inspiring shots from the episode. They're each 16:9, which will be standard for most desktops (make sure you click to enlarge):
