Another thing that made me chuckle was the tough guy in the room with Cersei and all the women. I don't know about anyone else but the first thing I thought when I saw him was "ok he is clearly there to kill all of them incase the war is lost". And then they proceed to act all secretive about his real purpose.. sorry but this particular thing has been done in many other movies before
Stannis charging in makes sense bc a) he's a legit badass and more importantly b) his host is reduced to dregs, given his combat prowess hIs participation could directly mean the difference between winning and losing.

Tywin, meh pretty unrealistic.

Wrt your second paragraph, it's a very common motif in game of thrones to set things up where things are obv to the audience but not to the players. This is a type of irony that I forgot the name of.
