Crikey I forgot that. Isn't that the same convo where Jamie asks Tyrion if he really killed Joffrey?

Yeah, he tells him he lies and tells Jamie he did and then tells Jamie how Cersei's been shagging about with Lancel etc. They both leave off hating each other. Strange that they omitted that,

Oh yer I forgot all about that as well, also missed out the bit about Mance's baby
Didn't Jojen Reed not die outside the three-eyed crow place in the books? and I'm sure the hound didn't die that way neither?
having not read the books i've no problem with them deviating from the books, like ned being a match for jaime, but its when the show skips from one to the other, like them building up the realtionship between the hound and arya, which worked so well with the actors, only to go strictly by the book with how they parted ways, it didnt make all that much sense after what they showed us previously, and felt contrived
It wasn't as noticable with the earlier seasons and obviously it would of been a long time since I read the first few books. Get over it? Speak to me like an adult.
Edit:
Jojen Reed didn't die in the books so fat man must of told them something.

Everybody I know who has read the book and most on here that have seem to love both the book and the TV series and enjoy discussing the differences between them. It's not criticism of the series, some of the changes improve the story and some of the stuff left out needed to be, not knowing how they will interpret it keeps it interesting. There is no doubt the acting and production quality are fantastic, the settings, scenes, city's etc are supurb and the use of CGI has been perfect, not too over the top that it doesn't feel real. I've not been to Northern Ireland where it's filmed but it looks stunning. Can't wait until April for season 5.
I do enjoy the series immensely. I think some of the casting has been absolutely brilliant; the CGI has been cutting-edge but even better they haven't relied on it. The acting has been what has made the show so good and I am very, very happy about that.
Some of the changes they've made in deviating from the books have been driven by necessity and I understand that, but I don't agree that any of the changes have improved the story. Some of them just don't make any sense, as I posted earlier.
Once the show has run it's course I would strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't yet read the books does so. There's a lot more to this story than is being told on screen.

A couple of changes I liked were Sam telling Jon that he had met Bran, that bugged me in the book no way he wouldn't tell his best mate that he'd seen his missing and presumed dead brother alive. The omission of the bloody mummers simplified the Arya/Lannister time at Harenhal also Vargo Horst being changed to Amory Locke and his story line at the wall etc was pretty good. I also think the way they have made all the kids a bit older than Martin portrayed them in the books improves the story, Jon for instance is 14 in the book yet beats fully grown men in hand to hand combat in the series he's more like 17-18, Arya is 9 in the book, being more like 13 as in the TV series makes her story more believable. I also liked that they showed us what the White Walkers did with Crastors baby's and how they are created and grow in numbers we never got that in the books. The kid killing Ygritte to avenge his parents rather than Jon killing her worked alright as well IMO.
