YMMV / Game Of Thrones S 5 E 4 The Sons Of The Harpy

• Ass Pull: Apparently the power to select the High Septon rests with the king's mother? Not bad for someone who couldn't even get her uncle to let her attend a Small Council meeting earlier.
• Idiot Ball: Seriously, Ser Barristan? With the city full of masked assassins attacking your Queen's loyalists, you never thought to wear armour while walking the streets?
• Karmic Overkill: The Pentoshi captain smuggled and then betrayed Jaime, so the Sand Snakes are punishing a traitor, but they go out of their way with the torture, having him buried up to his neck in sand with scorpions crawling over his head.
• Win Back the Crowd: Stannis and Shireen's scene in this episode was very much appreciated by fans of Team Dragonstone who didn't like Stannis's Adaptational Villainy in previous seasons.
