Depending upon the act. Who knows how dire homosexuality and perjury are viewed in the eyes of the Sparrows?

Oh, I forgot the most important one:
Winter came

I will be surprised, when Dany opens the fighting pits, if the old masters aren't the ones duking it out.

The Dorne subplot so far seems like the most perfunctory subplot since Theon's sister tried to save him but got repulsed by some dogs.

Not to mention, it seems like a small amount of blood does a pretty good job as well, considering how Joffrey and Robb are faring. Why don't they just keep leeches on hand?

My guess is it's a considerable one.

Myrcella/Jaime started going somewhere — Sand Snakes is still weak as hell

Well, his actual trial hasn't taken place yet. Presumably he still could if he wanted to. Of course, being stuck in a prison cell for a good amount of time probably isn't the best strategy for preparation.

Haha, is this a reference to Lancel's outing Cersei?

I feel like this season, more so than others, featured a lot of pieces moving into this places, but this episode seemed to have a lot happening:
