I think that the Loras declaring Brienne's innocence for apparently no reason can be explained by there simply not being enough screen time to adequately show why he would feel this way. It was probably far more sensible in the books, and the writers for the show were simply forced to gloss over this fairly minor detail so that the important stuff could be shown and Loras and Marge can be written in the same direction that GRRM had them going.
btw, the speculation on TVWOP can be really good, but the general tone over there is unbelievably annoying. I don't mind all the "Shirtless Gendry, oh my!!!" comments, that's cool... but the complaints about violence/rape/w/e are just absurd. It's a feudal fantasy world. Raping and pillaging and sadistic boy kings are par for the course. If it really bothers you that much, you can go watch Camelot on Showtime (I think it was canceled). I'm sure it's a lot more family friendly.. and also a lot shittier of a show.
Another example: they all seem to think that the four man ranger black ops squad is a horrible idea. No real explanation is given nor asked for when people say this. I really can't figure out why they think it's a bad idea. It's like they are really good at reverse engineering fiction, yet they are really bad at understanding general concepts about warfare and whatnot.
