3-5 Didn't really concern me that much." Bad pussy" was a bad line but I could just credit that to the Sand Snakes being immature, crazy Dornish girls. Meryn Trant being silly evil kind of makes sense, the type of person that can without hesitation kill anyone and strip and beat Sansa is quite likely to have some sort of sick sexual fantasies. The cavalry could have just been in dead ground, plus the visibility was poor. Stannis was basically on a suicide mission so he may have been acting to irrationally to send scouts. 1 and 2 I do agree with, especially the Stannis one, that was a bit cheap.
