On the next episode of Talkin' Thrones, we're officially into the second half of Season 3, further down the road to the Red Wedding with one of the most technically brilliant episodes of the show, Season 3, Episode 6, entitled The Climb. A rather fascinating conundrum, in that it's one of the most technically brilliant episodes, with all the story beats being framed around this one narrative device, that gets topped off by the speech to end all speeches. The second of four episodes directed by Alik Sakharov, the titular climb refers to the climb that Jon & the wildlings make up the Wall, as well as to Littlefinger's descriptive metaphor for the chaos the realm is going through. Pretty much the sum of the entire show. Arya meets Melisandre when she comes to collect on behalf of the Lord of Light. Roose Bolton makes a deal with Jaime, but not Brienne. Robb makes his deal with the Freys, ensuring his pending doom. Theon gets tortured some more, while Bran tells his comrades to stop arguing. Also, Sam & Gilly are still tromping around as well.
