(Spoilers Extended) Is there anything the HBO series changed/altered that you’re glad they did?

EXTENDED

Most of us agree that the series leaves a whole, magnanimous lot to be desired, and they did few enough things right, but are there some routes you’re secretly or not so secretly glad they went?

I think my biggest “Yes, please, thank you.” is the elimination of Jeyne Westerling. I gnash my teeth every night remembering how Robb was raped and then murdered because of two women for which I have some very choice words that I won’t use for fear of appearing insane. I was very glad watching the show and discovering that I didn’t have to go through the pain of hating the Westerlings on screen. Though some might claim that Robb willingly killing himself because of a few months’ worth of love smears his character or whatever (which I slightly agree with), I just can’t bring myself to prefer the original plotline. Amidst a sea of things to hate, this is one thing I like.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch past s4 on all attempts, though, so I’m curious if there are any other good bits
