Having Brienne "clean up nicely" is pretty ridiculous, but such are the concessions for television. She's great for the role, much like Tyrion, I don't need them to actually be ugly.

The Cult of Light is really starting to creep me out. I worry about the young blacksmith, true heir to the Baratheon throne. He's definitely going to get brainwashed.
Although Gendry is Robert's bastard child, he has no actual claim of legitimacy to the throne since he was not a product of the royal marriage. But such things aren't the most salient concern, as Renly pointed out. Hell, Robert wasn't "legitimate" when he seized power himself.

The scenes between Stannis' daughter and the Onion Knight were cute. I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them flee and join the pirates.
I'm glad we're meeting Stannis's wife and daughter, who iirc were only mentioned in passing last season, making me think they got cut.

Sansa is totally like Princess Peach. Wanted by everyone, but completely vapid and naive.
I think she *was* vapid and naive. She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but she had murder in her eyes coming after Joffrey after Ned's execution, and then had to basically shut down in order to survive inside King's Landing. She is traumatized all to hell and being spun different ways by master manipulators, it's a wonder she hasn't lost her mind.
