Why did the High Sparrow prevent everyone from leaving anyway?

The Targaryens also never conquered Dorne. Aegon the Conqueror tried but failed to subdue Dorne. It wasn't until more than a century later that Dorne was united with the other 6 kingdoms of Westeros via royal marriage instead of being conquered.
The motto of House Martell of "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" reflects the fact that Dorne never bent the knee due to be conquered.

Skimming a few reddit threads and someone made a good point. One of the people who knows that Littlefinger sold Ned Stark out is still alive and heading north...The Hound.

Where is the internet outrage over Septa Unella likely getting raped multiple times by the Mountain? People were up in arms over the rapes of Sansa and Cersei previously. I guess it's OK because either it's not being portrayed on screen or because people dislike that character making it OK.

And yes, it is indeed "OK" when an awful person gets what is coming to them, and it serves the dual purpose of highlighting to/reminding the viewer what an awful, vindictive person Cersei is as well. Comparing this to Sansa is simply apples and oranges.

Because he wasn't done humiliating the rich and the powerful, and didn't want anyone to leave before he got his chance. He had the faith militant, the crown's support, even the Tyrells bent and broken before him. What was there to fear?
Overconfidence.
Overconfidence.

Do you guys and gals sometimes wish that we would get a countryman/everyman perspective sometimes on how things are going in their respective lands? We always see things from people in charge/wannabes in charge and have no idea how it affects those they rule.

i think only Dorne and wherever it is that walder frey used to rule, are the only places that didn't show the common folk. all the other lands have had tidbits from the unwashed masses.

We've seen some. Sams Wildling girl comes to find. Others here and there but then again that's not what this show is really about...

If you recall, the Mountain likes to do the raping so I think that's what he'll be doing to her, which is obviously a form of torture in itself. Or maybe the zombie Mountain isn't into that stuff anymore...
Regarding Sam's story, my prediction is that somehow Gilly will be the one that somehow discovers a way to the defeat the white walkers. Maybe she sneaks into the library and comes across the book that Sam needs or something that points him in the right direction.
