They essentially took out or overly simplified all of the good misleading plot threads GRRM sets up (attack on Moat Cailin) and replaced it with "well his wife dies a horrible death instead, that'll make up for it right?" Also, where the hell is Greatjon Umber who was built up in the 2nd season and then completely non-existent in the 3rd..

Actually, the Red Wedding is more than halfway through Book 3. It's just that once the Red Wedding happens, for the rest of the book nearly every chapter has major events happening, so there was a lot more action in the last 1/3 of the book. I thought they did well last year building up to Dani torching the slave master and gaining her army as the first big climax scene in episode 4, then building back up for the episode 9 Red Wedding. Those were bad ass moments. Now they have a lot to fit into next season.
