That map is really cool.
Let me be the first to say, I'm surprised that they decided to go with that. It obviously isn't a divergence from the book, but I guess with all the stuff they glossed over leading up to the Red Wedding... I dunno, I guess I felt like they did a pretty good job depicting the Freys as evil fucks and this is just "wasted" screen time.
Like a retard I unwittingly spoiled the identity of Ramsay Bolton to my wife early on in the season. I have a hard time remembering exactly what reveals have been shown to the strictly-show-watchers, and I was lamenting the torching of Winterfell by Bolton's bastard. It worked out alright because she didn't put it together than Roose Bolton was going to/had betrayed Robb to the Lannisters. She obviously knows now...
They'll probably have him appear more next season, and present at Joffrey's wedding, to build him up to take over after Tywin dies. He doesn't become interesting until the last two books anyway.
It's another crucial part to show how evil they really are, desecrating a corpse. It won't be a long scene at all and they'll probably show them tossing Cat in the river, too. TV viewers really need to hate the Freys so it's more satisfying when bad things start happening to them.
Knight of Flowers (if he lives and isn't made completely ugly by his wound)
So it would be a decent series if they got rid of the things that prevented it from being a decent series? NOWAI!
Those images make it look like Jaime gets back to King's Landing before Joffrey's wedding.
