* SpannerInTheWorks: Arya. [[spoiler:By killing Tywin Lannister, he prevents Littlefinger from having the chance to take over the Vale ''and'' taking his sister away, which gives Varys time to lay the seeds to save himself and ruin Littlefinger's plans and life.]]

* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Played with, nicely averting MedievalMorons. While SI!Theon does introduce many ideas, the people of Westeros do come up with many more of their own after Theon's kickstarting. Ramsay, for example, independently comes up with the paper cartridge, gasoline-powered tanks and [[GatlingGood bolters]]; the Reeds build a locomotive, a train and a railway based on ideas made by Theon, and the Karstarks become the creators of airships and bazookas and are on the path to heavier-than-air flight. Meanwhile, one of the pyromancers manages to make a more stable form of wildfire by mixing it with gunpowder, Lannister men come up with ideas like an asbestos armor for the Mountain to push through fire without getting burned, and someone else designs the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchlock matchlock]] and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwacha hwacha]].

* HypocriticalHumor: When Loras Tyrell sees Theon wearing a [[BowtiesAreCool bowtie]], he says it looks a bit flamboyant. Of course, he's the one whose armor is adorned with flowers, and who is, in Theon's words, "gayer than Christmas".

* FalseFlagOperation: what [[spoiler:Littlefinger had planned for the Steel Wedding, framing the Freys for killing Robb.]]

* KnowWhenToFoldThem: Sandor Clegane, when it becomes obvious the Commonwealth is going to win the last battle. He knocks Joffrey out and swears loyalty to Robb.

* SuperweaponSurprise: the hwacha created by a Lannister man. Unfortunately for them, the Northern army is quite used to explosions and are less affected by them than the Lannisters would like.

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Petyr Baelish returns to King's Landing (and the story) after a long absence, thinking about how he's going to manipulate Robb and Catelyn so he can take over as Hand... only for a Faith Militant member to appear and shoot him point-blank with a thunderarm.

* NeverLiveItDown: Theongets quite a few of these moments.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ramsay has become one of the readers' favorite characters.

* GenreSavvy: Qyburn reveals himself well-versed in tropes matters, and urges Bran to fulfill his destiny by following his dreams. When Bran points that taking a metor role to the kid hero could get him killed, he acknowledges it as a possibility but stays determined to his goal.

* ComplexityAddiction: One of the omakes has Tyrion tell Theon he has this problem: when faced with an obstacle, instead of changing plans, he will add more things to the original plan.

** Tywin did know that his cupbearer could be dangerous... [[spoiler:he certainly did not expect her to be Arya Stark, much less for her to '''cut his throat out''' while she was pretty much in the middle of enemy territory.]]

* EntertaininglyWrong: When Littlefinger considers [[spoiler:Tywin's death]], he thinks it was planned by [[spoiler:Varys and Tyrion]], who are trying to have him framed for [[spoiler:the murder by using Littlefinger's knife]]. He follows a logical mental path that reaches that conclusion, and could be right... if it were not because it was [[spoiler:Arya]] that did the deed [[spoiler:after [[PercussivePickpocket she stole his dagger]], and who he dismissed out of hand because she was just a cupbearer.]]

* StatuQuoIsGod: InUniverse among the wildlings, who Jon realizes are stuck in their situation because their own culture prevents them from trying to do things for the common good. As Theon puts it, they think that their personal prosperity must be improved by taking from another.

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Tywin Lannister and Walder Frey become incensed when someone tried a Red Wedding equivalent during Robb's wedding to Margaery Tyrell.]]

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: After the defeat of [[spoiler: the main Lannister armies, Tywin Lannister]] makes a deal to sell Northern prisoners into slavery in exchange for Unsullied troops. Everyone questions this decision, including [[spoiler: Kevan Lannister, his loyal brother.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Arya. [[spoiler:By killing Tywin Lannister, he prevents Littlefinger from having the chance to take over the Vale ''and'' taking his sister away, which gives Varys time to lay the seeds to save himself and ruin Littlefinger's life.]]

* BadBoss: Joffrey, to the utmost degree. When Lancel tells him they need gunpowder, as the men need it for training in the use of weapons and to get used to the noise, as well as mentioning their dropping morale, Joffrey walks to them pistol in hand... and proceeds to blow out one soldier's brains, telling the others that anyone that runs away will have their wives and daughters raped and sold into slavery as a way to "improve morale".
