* {{Glamour}}: It\'s confirmed this is how Melisandre keeps up her appearance of youth.
** \'\'\'We\'re not sure if a glamour or if it\'s shapeshifting. Given she moves quite freely when she\'s in her \"youthful\" form (compared to her hobbling in her elderly form), it\'s entirely possible that she actually does take that form. It\'s too close to confirm.\'\'\'

Pulled from RealityEnsues:
* Also, in too many chase scenes to count, hearing the hunting dogs of the guys chasing you means nothing special and is just there to raise tension a bit with the audience. Here, it\'s shown that if the hunters are close enough that you can hear the dogs barking, that means they\'re almost certainly too close for you to escape them, regardless of what clever tactic you try to use.
** \'\'\'That\'s not really reality ensues as the \"not reality\" isn\'t set up. \'\'\'
* Doran Martell\'s decision to spare Ellaria and the Sand Snakes for their treason backfires in full force when they murder him and his son, while many of his servants stand and watch.
** \'\'\'How is that \"reality\"? The trope is for unexpectedly realistic consequences. There\'s nothing realistic about \"SUDDEN COUP FROM NOWHERE.\"\'\'\'
* Areo Hotah was stabbed in the upper back on what looks like where his spine would be, this would at the very least cause total paralysis on any human regardless of how badass and large they might be. Not to mention Tyene Sand was very likely using a poisoned blade.
** \'\'\'That\'s just... saying what happened. People die when they get stabbed in a vital area. I don\'t think that\'s worth noting.\'\'\'

* TheSociopath: Ellaria and the Sand Snakes are worse than Tywin at this point, brutally murdering their own family, taunting them and showing no remorse. Ellaria even rubs it in to a dying Doran that his beloved son Trystane will not be spared.
** \'\'\'My issue with this is that they clearly do have emotional attachments, considering that this is all because of Oberyn\'s death. They also do seem to care for each other in a weird way. They\'re clearly freaking insane, but I don\'t think they fit TheSociopath.\'\'\'
