2* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Thorne's line to Sam about running out of friends a cruel taunt, or a genuine warning; as close to concern for Sam as he's likely to show?
3** Are the High Sparrow's altruistic actions and his arrests of the highborn Tyrells and Cersei motivated by a genuine desire to help the downtrodden and enact the will of the Seven, or is he only stoking the fires to produce fanatics loyal to him and taking out rivals in order to make himself the biggest political player in King's Landing?
4* FightSceneFailure: The slaver Tyrion beats with his chains is very obviously not even trying to fight back.
5** He might be a DirtyCoward begging for succor.
6%%* IdiotBall: In reality, the High Sparrow's threat to start a peasant uprising against the Tyrells probably wouldn't be a credible threat since—unlike the Lannisters—the Tyrells not only still have vast resources, wealth, competent and united leadership, and a strong military, but also haven't done anything to make their people dislike them since the Reach hasn't suffered any of the devastation seen in the Riverlands or Crownlands, and they even seek to be more likeable through charity. But for some reason Olenna just treats it as serious enough to make her back off from her threats to cut off food to King's Landing.
7* MoralEventHorizon: Melisandre always had BlueAndOrangeMorality but outright asking Stannis to sacrifice Shireen is for many, hard to forgive and accept.
