Though 'Game of Thrones' season 4 still feels like a lifetime away, we know that the ninth episode of any given season has historically proven the most jaw-dropping of them all. We have an idea of what the ninth episode of season 4 will involve, but check out an early sneak peek with a behind-the-scenes photo of "Castle Black!"
