That's the plan, I believe. They definitely want to split book three into roughly two seasons, and I think they said they might leave some of the stuff from book two off until the third season as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Reeds were among that.

I love me some Joffrey getting slapped.
Joffrey is one kid where child abuse is not only warranted, but desperately needed.
Someone please explain to me the point of A Whore's Tale. I'm open to change, to new characters who are not in the books but it's just so... boring. I guess there are titties, which is nice?

I think they are making her take Alayaya's role so we sympathize with her more when they grab her instead?
(SPOILER)Did they just kill off Rakharo? Did they just imply Stannis has no children & therefore no Shireen? Are they changing too much? Did they just write out Jacelyn Bywater? I'm not a fan of this.
I was a little bored with this episode.
(SPOILER)I don't think they implied a lack of Shireen, just that Stannis doesn't have any sons. I was surprised by the other changes you mentioned, but I imagine they have to greatly reduce the vast amount of minor characters to make it work on the more fast-paced medium that is television. I can't really blame them - it has to be accessible for those who haven't read the books, and even having read them I sometimes have trouble keeping up with who's who in the show.Originally Posted by Cuchulainn
Also, I <3 Lena Headey.
I think we can all agree that if there is no Patchface then we can consider the show to be a failure.
I'm now worried incase they cut the Kettleblacks & Arys Oakheart...they're kind of needed
(SPOILER)I believe the intent behind killing him off was to replace him with another character. The actor was cast in the film adaptation of World War Z and so his schedule was going to conflict with filming more seasons. I am okay with it for those reasons alone. I don't think they implied that he had no children, just any that matter. Women, in general, do not matter much in Westeros so Shireen's status as Stannis's child does not matter very much. Also, if I recall, she is such a minor character in CoK that they probably didn't bother casting her. I would imagine they wrote out Jacelyn in order to make Bronn a more prominent character, mainly do the reception that the actor has received in his portrayal. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but seeing as Jacelyn's dies later on it doesn't really matter.Did they just kill off Rakharo? Did they just imply Stannis has no children & therefore no Shireen?

I doubt they'll cut anyone as necessary as the Kettlebacks and Oakheart from the overall show. Fan reaction would be too heavily negative and it would only serve to harm the overall narrative. I would understand if they pushed their appearances back to other seasons depending on necessity though.
Also, third season renewal. Fourth season will probably come soon or during development/filming of 3rd season, as their intent is to split Storm of Swords up.
The Queen pwned Tirion hard in this episode.
I don't have a problem with any of the changes so far. They gotta do what they gotta do. And keep in mind that GRRM has creative control, so he approves of the changes.
P.S. GRRM said in his LJ that season three will cover the first half of the third book, and that he'll be writing the seventh episode.
Shouldnt he be writing the next book?
He should. And he is. But I believe it is in his contract that he writes at least one episode per season so it isn't a big deal. He'll get the book done eventually.
