When I tell people I've never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

You definitely saved yourself, the show took out so much stuff, which was kind of inevitable, but the amount they took out in order to slap in some trash was a bit aggravating. Spoilers below.

. ———— .

And even knowing how seemingly pointless some of the stuff would turn out, it’s odd they kept any of the Dorn stuff in in the later seasons. I get that Pedro Pascal was awesome, but the Dorn stuff in the show was even more pointless than it was in the books.

Biggest sin I think though was leaving out Lady Stoneheart. In GRRM’s mind, I suspect Arya’s story is so deeply intertwined with her’s that to leave her out just basically knee-capped Arya’s revenge-fueled character arc, she’s headed for a confrontation with LS, to see a sort of mirror-image of herself. In the show she was given a somewhat unearned “consolation prize” that just seemed stupid.
