Sorry, Bosh, but differences between what happened in the show (already shown) and what was done in the books instead is perfectly alright outside spoiler boxes unless you are going to go much further and talk about the consequences of it (which wouldn't already been shown in the show).
The main problem is that Oerdin keeps talking about the consequences of changes outside of spoiler boxes. The rest of us don't. However, for Oerdin, that post was pretty good...“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

We need Aeson to build a smart spoiler system that automatically puts a spoiler box around material that a particular user hasn't consumed yet. Of course, users would have to continually update their page/episode count so that the spoiler system works. We should make that a regular part of the profile system. Aeson will get right on that, I'm sure. Aeson? ...Aeson?Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

And yes, I was joining in by going "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die".
Great episode, though. The Jamie/Tyrion scene should get awards, if there's any justice, and little Arya Boygirl had a fabulous little scene too.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Yean the Arya scene for me is the true turning point for her character. While she's been sliding toward the assassin side, this highlighted her attitude swing.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Yes, I read that a lot of people thought it was too long. *REALLY*
For me it was another tribute to his acting skills.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

http://www.salon.com/2014/06/03/george_r_r_martins_book_editor_hints_at_eighth_book_in_fantasy_epic/"Seven Books for Seven Kingdoms"...but there are technically eight kingdoms
Martin's publisher is now talking about the series having eight books instead of seven. I'm sure the tv show will be long over before we ever read the final two (or possibly three) books in the series though.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

It also pretty much guarantees that the book will veer away from the TV show. It would make no commercial sense at all to write books that follow what's already aired.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Seven Books for Seven Kingdoms. Good. Only, as I recently learned while editing THE WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE (another awesome thing you must buy when it comes out!), there are really technically eight kingdoms, all having to do with who has annexed what when Aegon the Conqueror landed in Westeros. So, maybe eight books for Seven Kingdoms would be okay.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Besides, publisher is wrong anyways... the Riverlands aren't a "kingdom":
The riverlands,[1][2] historically the Kingdom of Rivers and Hills,[3] are a central region of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, consisting of the rich, fertile, and populous[3][4] areas around the three forks of the Trident and the northern Blackwater Rush. At the time of Aegon's Conquest the riverlands and the Iron Islands were ruled by House Hoare, the Kings of the Isles and the Rivers,[5] although native river kings ruled centuries earlier.[3]
The Riverlands is a central region of the continent of Westeros, consisting of the rich, fertile, and populous[1] areas around the forks of the Trident and the northern Blackwater Rush. It is ruled from Riverrun by House Tully. The Riverlands is not considered one of the traditional Seven Kingdoms, as at the time of Aegon's Conquest the territory was controlled by House Hoare of the Iron Islands.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

1) The North
2) The Iron Islands
3) The Vale
4) The Westerlands
5) The Reach
6) The Stormlands
7) Dorne
At the time of Aegon's Conquest, the Riverlands were ruled by the Iron Islands (and before that were ruled by the Stormlands). They were not a Kingdom, but a rich part of different kingdoms - at least for 300 years prior to Aegon's Conquest (which would mean they haven't been independent for 600 years of the events of the books/show)
