Seems unnecessarily complicated to add a need for possible regent for his child, I can understand it being ditched. As for Jon, people really should get off that theory, him being King of Westeros or of the North, more than likely he'll either stay/become a corpse or will remain in the Nights Watch. Would be too much of a stretch of his "honor" for any other conclusion imo. Rickon will be new Lord of Winterfell. Episode was certainly a punch in the gut though. Shows how well written and acted this was, even though I knew it was coming it still was a thrilling ep. Talisa... disliked her character but... wow.

What is with the complaint with Robb's will? In the books he didn't have an heir so had to make a decision on who would take over for him should he die. In the show Jeyne was pregnant which means the will wasn't necessary...

HBO is staying much more faithful to the books than many would when adapting from source material. There will always be changes often not to the good but that is simply something to tolerate, even if it does leave you muttering in annoyance after seeing it, heh. I myself mourn the loss of the innocence, ignorance and self-doubts that plague book-Brienne that is lost in the tv version. Maybe we'll see some of that come next season when there is a larger focus on Jaime. *crosses fingers*
