* PragmaticVillainy: When Cersei starts bitching about Tywin's decision not to subject the North to the Castamere treatment, Tywin proceeds to lecture her about the difference between the Starks and the Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion: the Reynes and the Tarbecks were rebellious vassals who'd been spitting on the Lannisters for years, and destroying them was both a good way to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem reestablish Lannister dominance of the Westerlands]] and economically sound because the Lannisters had nothing to lose by getting rid of them; by contrast, the Starks and their vassals only rebelled after a boy with Lannister blood imprisoned--and later killed--their liege lord out of petty sadism, and having them as allies is much more beneficial than trying to simply wipe them out.

* YouGotSpunk: Ramsey considers [[spoiler:Arya]] unusually appealing compared to other girls he's put up with, considering the fact that she actively puts up a fight and shoots death glares at him, refuses to plead for mercy, and refuses to scream, and takes his time enjoying himself by tormenting and torturing her and threatening to rape her.
