Other things I loved, Sansa & Shae. God, can we have some more of that relationship please? Shae protecting Sansa even though every cell in her body must be screaming at her not to. Speaking of massive improvements the show makes on the books, Shae, just Shae.
YES. OH GOD YES.
I don't mind most of the changes, but I'm still SO UPSET with them killing off all the Dothraki that don't die in the books and that the audience is connected to, thus severing Dany's communication to be only with Jorah and maybe Doreah if they keep her around for faux-lesbian titillation (JUST BECAUSE I SOMETIMES LIKE IT TOO DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T PISS ME OFF).
That Cersei/Tyrion scene... I just... it's not that I don't agree with everything they said (except Robert not being needlessly cruel, I mean, come on, although I guess I should just be happy Tyrion said his line about Joffery being more Robert than Jaime)-- Just, I feel like if they don't have something else happen between them to put them back to where they were, their entire plots aren't going to work. Tyrion's entire plot revolves around how he completely misunderstands Cersei and screws up. And Cersei sees villains all around her, especially Tyrion... so it's like... wat.
I mean I WISH they'd gotten along like in that scene, but I can't wrap my head around the rest of the plot working unless they're really going to change things.
I also preferred Cersei's talk with Sansa over to her talk with Tyrion, because her denial about Joffery was one of her biggest things and it had a lot to do with why she went a bit batty after you know.
