Typical bias on the part of those Lannister hacks known as the show runners.

 

Robb had been kicking ass and taking names since the end of Season 1, and what do we get:  Robb walking around field of wounded men after the battle, Robb sitting on a horse in the rain, Robb playing "chess".

 

The Lannisters finally win one, and they pull out all the stops for the entire episode.
