It would be interesting to know which plot points the writers are going to stay true to, vs where they are willing to stray. I mean I wonder if they have a full plot outline and just know as long as they hit certain points then they are free to stray outside of that.

Cersei is actually kind of a funny character. She's so blind and stupid but at times is so honest. They definitely made her aknowledge Joff being a POS more herer than in the books. In the books she's always giving Tommen #### for crying and saying how Joff wouldn't do that.
I'm a little disappointed that we haven't seen any of Tyrion's scheming about the upcoming battle.
Also, a while ago I made a prediction based on the TV show about Jorah. At the time I also wasn't sure where his allegiances were in the books either. I've since read in book 3 and/or 4 when he admitted to being in contact with Westeros. Interesting point is that he mentioned that he sent a message from Qarth. I did not remember that from the first time around. I wonder if they'll drop any more hints about him and Varys to set up for the big reveal (Barriston is Arstan and Jorah was a spy) at the end of book 3.
Shouldn't Barriston the Bold be re-introduced soon? Do you suppose they'll have him save the day and get her dragons back? did he not appear after she'd burnt down the house of the undying in book 2?
