Anyone else feel like the show did a really poor job building up the rise of the High Sparrow? As much as people like to shit on A Feast for Crows, one thing I remember distinctly is scenes illustrating how the countryside had been damaged so badly during the war, mainly from Brienne and Pod's travels.
All we got in the show was a wide area shot with smoke and fire (after the Hound tok some money from a villager reasoning he wouldn't survive the winter). Suddenly you have fanatics attacking a brothel and humiliating the high priest without anything preceding. It's too bad, would have been a good opportunity to illustrate the cost of war.
