I'm kind of torn on the Daario re-casting. Probably would have preferred if they just gave the original guy a beard and haggard hair cut I feel Daario's appearance is important so I think they did a good thing (on an appearance level) even though they are skipping the blue hair. My girlfriend was bummed though, lol.
I noticed they changed Qyburn's name to...Kaymen or Kymen or Qymen or something? Maybe they mentioned his name in the 3rd season but I don't recall.
The cannibal and physical appearance (weird decorative scars) of the Thenn definitely made me question my reading skills but it's not in the books. Changes like that always throw me off a little, but I don't mind them. The Thenn's are the most cultured of the wildlings and according to Ice and Fire wiki:
"The Thenns are more well-armed and armored than most free folk, with bronze helms, axes, short stabbing spears with leaf-shaped heads, shirts sewn with bronze discs, and plain unadorned shields of black boiled leather with bronze rims and bosses."
Good to see Dontos give Sansa the amethyst hairnet... Definitely not as many meetings in the show as they had in the book but that's understandable based on time restrictions.
Looking forward to more Martell content; Oberyn, Sand Snakes, Arianne, etc. Maybe we'll see Doran at some point in the series. Would be kind of cool.
