I understand the reasons for some of the cuts and even some of the deaths. The show obviously needs to be more centered on the main characters just because of how much shorter they are than the books. The first audio book for GoT is 35 hours for example in comparison to the 10 episode season one.

Jojen is so dead in the books bro. I feel like that he's going to be some level of sacrifice for Bran to abandon his humanity and end up like Bloodraven.

Pretty sure that LSH was cut out so that Jon can be the first major character ressed on the show. Not like any of the show watchers actually really know the Lightning Lord after all. Although I think his reveal as Rhaegar's son is going to be so, so, so underwhelming compared to the books when I doubt 1 in 10 show watchers even know who Rhaegar is.
poor jojen. theres a theory that the red paste bran ate consisted in part of Jojens blood. i dont subscribe to it, but its out there.

as far as rezzing, Beric Dondarrion was rezzed right in front of Arya on the show. if viewers didnt catch that they need to stop watching imo.

and agreed 100% on the J=R+L stuff. in the book, its a very book deal, you learn a TON more about Rhaegar as well as Lyanna, and about where Ned was and what Ned was doing at the end of Roberts Rebellion. but youre right, most people have no ideas who Rhaegar is, and most viewers probably havent noticed that the only person with a bad thing to say about Rhaegar, was Robert.

Part of me believes they wont do R+L=J in the TV show
