- Margery Tyrell and Lady Olenna. Both characters are far better on the show.
- Khal Drogo. Was never a fan of him in book, but loved him on the show.
- Bronn. Much better on show than in books
- Cutting out ironborn. Sorry, but those chapters bored me. Does anybody care about the Damphair or whatever his name is?
- Simplifying Mereen. Book Mereen is just not very enjoyable with too many weirdly named characters to keep track of. Show mereen isnt great, but its better than the books.

Yes, I even said that some of the changes were good. I'd add Tywin as well, but I think that was mainly casting, not any changes by the writers that made him such a compelling character on the show.
I'd disagree with the Ironborn, though. Victarion, Euron, dragon-binding horn?
