What I really want to know is the Marge angle in the whole High Sparrow storyline. She is obviously playing something but I can't quite seem to understand what her end game is. I highly doubt simple release was her goal and paying so much for her freedom. There has got to be something else going on there.

You really think not wanting to walk through king's landing naked isn't good enough motivation on its own?

I understand the motivation but I don't buy thats the only thing she's after

I think it is but they've painted the women of her family, including her, as being very cunning and calculating. So it would be kind of a let down if that's all it was.

Unless the plan is to get rid of the Lannisters so the Tyrell can take over.
There are many things. This entire show is about trying to take over the throne. She could generate an heir and then try to pull the rug out from Tommen so her son would become the presumptive king. She could be trying to install an alliance with the crown and faith to simply try and remove Cersei. Like I said I don't know. But you're taking a very base interpretation of the events when I simply think there is more going on with Marge. She's power hungry and I wonder how this alliance helps with her lust for power.

Which is something only a Cersei-level retard would try and set in motion without being able to communicate with Olenna. All of these theories about Margaery having big plans are ignoring the fact that nothing would benefit her more than returning things to the status quo before trying to make some kind of power play.
It is also something they brought up on that After the Thrones show of "who is playing who." The audience is lead to believe it is Sparrow vs Cersei and the Sparrow is winning. But it could actually be Marge (or the Tyrells in general) are the ones who are actually manipulating that rivalry.
Obviously Sparrow is trying to manipulate Tommen by allowing a 1v1 interaction with Marge after he thinks he's pocketed Marge. What she said to Tommen was just a bittooatoning for me to completely buy. It just felt like she was saying the right things. So Marge has recognized the Sparrow is trying to operate through Tom and now she's giving the Sparrow what he thinks he wants but has completely different plans.

I think Marg had already given up on Tommen finding his balls and getting her out of there, and figured none of the others would go against him and bust her out anyway. So she engineered a way to get out, figuring she could control Tommen well enough that once she's out, she can undo whatever.
The thing that cemented it for me was her look of utter astonishment and then joy that the army had come for her. She didn't expect it... but then when she realized they were there for her, she was satisfied and happy. But knew she would be ok either way.

well, margaery is playing it safe, she plays along, gets absolved and is back to being the beloved queen. tommen is a dumshit living on borrowed time, wont be long before he gets himself killed and then margaery takes over. cersei will lose because unmountain is going to die in the cleganebowl and then she will flee the kingdom where she ends up getting choked to death by her little brother. everything's coming up millhouse for marge.
Do you even watch the show? Just a few episodes ago, she was chastising her brother for being weak and telling him he had to be strong, that they couldn't let themselves be broken, and now you think she all of a sudden turned out to be the same way? She knew her family would never allow her to make that walk of atonement, and she is definitely planning something by getting her husband to join up with the Sparrow. I don't buy that she suddenly had this revelation after speaking to the Sparrow by herself one time. She's smarter than that. She is definitely planning something.
Who would be King if Tommen dies at the end of the season? Does it become a free for all at that point? This shit goes in patterns. There hasn't been enough death of the main pieces this season. I say at least 4 main people won't be back next season due to being killed off the last 2 shows of the season.
Either the person is "evil", goes on a winning streak, then gets fucked/killed and if not killed they go back on a winning streak soon after or the person is "good" and they are on a winning streak, get fucked/killed and if not killed they go on another winning streak. There's nothing subtle in this show at all. Hulk Hogan going heel in WCW is 10x more than anything shown in the show so far.
Arya's arc is just been longer than normal. She has passed the fucked part, and is about to hit the winning streak. It has been set up since day one with the Waif being jealous of her and always beating her/training her. She refused to kill for her mission, it wasn't a test and why people think that I have no idea. So now she is forced to be killed by the Waif, but Arya is about to win and kill her starting the cycle all over again.

I'm a bit late replying to this, but the fact that the Mad King had given an order to burn the entire town is NOT common knowledge. Jaime revealing that fact in the show was a bit of a twist, most people think he just decided to kill the king because they were losing the battle and he wanted to join the winners. That's why he got the Oathbreaker nickname. If more people realized that Jaime basically saved the entire population of King's Landing by doing that, he wouldn't have gotten such a negative reputation.

Here is my show theory:
There will be no real LSH. Instead, it will be revealed to be Littlefinger controlling the BWOB. He can then leverage Brienne to get Jaime to fall into a trap. It works in his interest to get both out of the way (Brienne because she is something between himself and Sansa, and Jamie because dead Lannisters creates chaos).
