Oh and why have they barely (at all?) shown the direwolves? They are such a MAJOR part of the book. That's probably my biggest letdown from the show.

Maybe what they will end up doing is after the Red Wedding, someone (Blackfish possibly if he leaves the group before the wedding?) reads Robb's will and it names Jon heir? I can't think of them shoving in "oh hey you have to write a will now, Robb!" without it seeming contrived. I would think Talisa is killed at the Wedding, and the pregnancy thing is just to make it seem all the more brutal. I was waiting for Jaime to shove Locke into the pit with the bear. I can't remember exactly what went down in the book with Vargo Hoat in that scene, I know he wasn't killed then, but why keep his replacement Locke around? Still don't understand why they replaced the memorable character of Vargo Hoat with the unremarkable character of Locke. How soon did we see Meereen in the books? Because during the opening credits, shouldn't we see the outline of Meereen close above Yunkai? Maybe it's just not shown because Dany won't be going to Meereen until Season 4 and they'll update the opening. I like that Margaery is a little more duplicitious in the show. You can tell she has an ulterior motive much sooner than it dawns on you reading the book and makes her more interesting on air. I didn't find her an interesting character until everything went down with her and Cersei. Back to Robb's will, I think someone mentioned in this thread, that news of Sansa's wedding could reach Robb and perhaps someone, probably Blackfish (maybe Cat) since it looks like every other "commander" has left him now (Bolton, dead Karstark, Greatjon), will tell him that he needs to name an heir now just in the event that something does happen to him so that the Lannisters won't hold the North. That could be a plausible way of bringing up the will without revealing too much of the future episodes to non-book readers, and might be a better alternative to finding out who Jon named to be his heir after his death. It could be something like "in the event of my death, Winterfell will pass to my son, if my child is a boy, or to Jon"...Plus, I'd love to see Cat's reaction to naming Jon Snow heir to Winterfell.
