Some small surprises as we continue to diverge from the books.
The arrest of Margaery was a twist I didn't see coming. In the month leading up to the show all we heard about was Cersei's walk of shame being one of the big moments for the season. They may still get there but right now it appears she's winning the battle for control of Tommen. He looks hopelessly lost as King.
No kidnapping of Princess Marcella by the Sand Snakes eliminates another complete book plot. Not sure where the whole Dorne plot line is going. I know they had to simplify it from the books but they have cut it down to so little it doesn't really seem to add anything.
Littlefinger is playing everyone against everyone else. Not sure if he really hedging with Cersei or just trying to lead her army north in a ambush.
Arya back in the game this week although it's hard to tell where that storyline is going in connection with the big picture.
The deflowering / rape of Sansa was the most uncomfortable scene yet. They are clearly setting the Boltons up as the ultimate bad guys but that was hardcore even for GOT. Far beyond the Cersei / Jamie scene that cause some much controversy last year. At least Jamie and Cersei had history plus we didn't like her anyway. Sansa is everyone's little girl.
