ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Mandalore93]

I understand the reasons for some of the cuts and even some of the deaths. The show obviously needs to be more centered on the main characters just because of how much shorter they are than the books. The first audio book for GoT is 35 hours for example in comparison to the 10 episode season one.

Jojen is so dead in the books bro. I feel like that he's going to be some level of sacrifice for Bran to abandon his humanity and end up like Bloodraven.

Pretty sure that LSH was cut out so that Jon can be the first major character ressed on the show. Not like any of the show watchers actually really know the Lightning Lord after all. Although I think his reveal as Rhaegar's son is going to be so, so, so underwhelming compared to the books when I doubt 1 in 10 show watchers even know who Rhaegar is.
