Also, Tyrion's first wife. No admission from Jamie that she wasn't a whore. So... I guess she was a whore. I thought that finding out the truth was Tyrion's main motivation for killing Tywin.
It was what snapped him to pull the trigger, but remember he already picked up the crossbow and ventured into the toilet area, just like in the show. Why else would he have it if not to shoot him? (Maybe for protection after the escapes?).
However, it was mentioned in season 1 or whatever, so they could have feasibly brought it up. What I didn't like so much was the 'Han shot first' alteration of giving Shae a knife.
Also: Tyrion doesn't tell Jamie that Cersei has been fucking Moon boy for all he knows, which is another annoying refrain from the books. That's one of the things that causes Jamie to bugger off on his Quest for Glory. (And then subsequent capture by LSH?)

No stoneheart yet, which was a mild surprise. I haven't read the latest book (and probably won't bother to be honest, i'll stick with the tv show) but we are well past the point she should have turned up, aren't we?
She's in two scenes (I think) in the books and they all involve hanging Freys. It's not exactly plot driving stuff. From what we've seen so far you could easily wipe her out of the books and nothing would be changed. You could just have the brotherhood do it. MaliaA, who has read the books TWICE as many times as I have, can't even remember her. That's how little influence she has on the currently published story. I have no idea why the internet is shitting bricks about it, other than for revenge fantasies. But I never really like Robb or Catelyn, so I don't give a crap about that
Plus, I never really had the reaction most people did when they read the LSH 'reveal'. Mine wasn't "OMG AWESOME LETS GET REVENGE" but "oh, another person back from the dead? Who next...undead Ned? Undead Joffery?", so I'm kinda glad they've avoided it thus far.
