I dunno. I am ok with the way they did it in the show. Jaime was the only one that loved Tyrion and I was kinda cringing to see him revealing the truth to Tyrion. They did do the Shae part good though. I was wondering how they would pull a scene like that off, but they executed it well.
I was a bit disappointed with the Stannis scene compared to how they did it in the book. I understand that they didn't have enough time to do it in the show, but they coulda made a better build-up.
I agree that the way the show did it, it was unexpected. The only reason I knew he was comin is because I read the books. In the tv show, braavos lend money to him to reconquer the crown so they could get their debt back asap, then without a single hint of it, suddenly appears on the wall without a reason. In the books he was deperate, no money, his liege lords deserting him, salador san deserting him, and it's Davos who convinced him to goto the wall, because hat would prove he wanted to get the crown so he could save the kingdom, and not the other way around.
But they're just flat out running out of time, and so we can expect more compressions like this in the future
