Lady Stoneheart is kind of ehhh. All she does is kill Freys and hate. I'm glad they took her out. I'll only like the Lady Stoneheart arc if she smurfing apologises to Jon Snow for being a tremendous troutbag to him. The best way would be if she finds out the truth as to who Jon's parents were, is like "Oh trout what have I done", goes up to the wall, stumbles upon the corpse of Jon Snow and uses the R'hlor kiss of life to bring him back from the dead, tells him the truth, says "I'm sorry for being a terrible human being to you, I hope you are happy forevermore" and then dies. That would be the satisfying conclusion to the Catelyn arc, finally able to save one of her children - the innocent son she should've loved. Redemption. Don't think it'll happen in a million years but whatevs.

In not having a bunch of book characters, it kind of spoils that these people aren't going to be important. I don't like that they took out Aegon as it all but confirms he's a fake. I still think he'll be the one to take out Tommen though. On the subject of, don't like older Tommen either. But I do approve that they aged up all the rest of the kids in the show. But yeah, Victarion, Euron and the dragonbinder had the potential to be major players but if they're not in the show then clearly not. I also don't like that they removed Arianne and instead had Oberyn's paramour take on her role? What the hell is the point of that? It's not like she was some deep character we got to know and love last season. Don't really care that they took Quentyn out though.

I'm happy with Sansa x Ramsay, Jaime in Dorne and Brienne's hunt being made interesting instead of "Allo it's me, Nimble Dick Crabb!".
