Talkin' Thrones Episode 43 - High Sparrow

We're at the point of the show where Dom's problems really start to show with Season 5, Episode 3 "High Sparrow." As the title suggests, this episode is the introduction of the titular High Sparrow, the leader of the religious fanatical group known as the sparrows makes his appearance portrayed by Jonathan Pryce. The High Sparrow represents a very confusing element that comes to play in the later seasons, as the ideas behind the motivation of his character and his use of religious zealotism as a means of exacting some sort of philosophical revenge against the high lords for their destruction of the realm and plight of the commoners, but because of Benioff & Weiss' callous leap frogging over story logic points in order to reach their conclusion, it comes off as half baked like a majority of the second half of the show. Cersei realizes that Margaery is already making moves against her and attempts to retaliate by recruiting the High Sparrow to her side. Jon is faced with his first major decision as Lord Commander, Arya learns more about the House of Black & White, Littlefinger brings Sansa home, Brienne informs Podrick of her vow and Tyrion is kidnapped by an unlikely figure on his road to Daenerys.
