* Though more of HypocriteHasAPoint, Littlefinger is not wrong when he stated that Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's love brought great ruin to the realm. [[spoiler:Especially after some revelations during Season 7.]]

* Theon's firmly in the Heel part of his FaceHeelTurn when he complains about everyone telling him he should be grateful to the Starks, but when he points out that everyone is essentially telling him that he should be grateful that he had such admirable jailers, his anger makes complete sense.

* Sansa is dismissive of Ramsay's naturalization, noting that the decree was signed by King Tommen, himself a bastard. To bolster his point that bastards can, despite the prejudice against them, rise high in the world, he breaks to her the news that her own bastard brother, Jon Snow, has been elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

* Sansa tells her brother Jon Snow that he needs to give up on rescuing their little brother, Rickon Stark from the [[TheDreaded Boltons]] because he's a DeadManWalking -- even though Jon's primary motivation for taking up arms against the Boltons was to rescue his brother Rickon and protect his sister Sansa from [[BastardBastard Ramsay Bolton]], while Sansa, herself, wanted to fight the Boltons in order to save their brother Rickon and take back Winterfell.

* Euron may be going out of his way to make snarky remarks about Theon's unmanning at the kingsmoot, but he's correct that Theon's inept handling of the Northern campaign leaves him with no credibility to argue for his sister's claim to the Salt Throne.

* Stannis says in the Histories and Lores section on the Greyjoy Rebellion that he would have executed Balon Greyjoy after their rebellion instead of sparing them as Robert did. Considering that after Robert's death Balon revolts again, Stannis was probably justified. This actually happens quite a lot. Many of the figures Robert spared despite fighting against him turn to be very treacherous, like the Small Council who support someone they know isn't Robert's son, and the Tyrells who support Renly's poor claim to the throne, then switch their allegiance to Joffrey...

* Aemond complains that it's unfair that Aegon is seen as the rightful king despite being uninterested in/unworthy of the throne, and muses that he himself would be a much better replacement. While Aemond at this point is not a sympathetic character, his thought process is completely justified. Aegon is a lazy whore-mongering drunk who routinely shirks all his responsibilities and has made clear that he has no desire to rule and ''knows'' how bad he himself would be at it, but is seen is the true king purely for being the firstborn son, while Aemond, despite taking his studies, training as a warrior and duties as a prince seriously, and actually ''wanting'' to rule, is only a second son, and thus seen as only a spare.

That's not even mentioning that Aemond would be behind Aegon's male children in line of succession, meaning he would be passed over for young children simply because they were the sons of his older brother.
