There are some pretty big deviations already in the first three episodes. I'm sure the large overarching story is following a similar arc, but how we get there is likely going to be very different - especially as storylines outpace the book.
The shitty thing is now the tv show will start spoiling the books, as characters that are omitted/treated differently in the tv show are unlikely to be that critical for the finale that they know about in the books.
[spoiler]Most notably, we see that living Targaryen #3, Young Griff's, omission in the TV show means he probably isn't as important to the endgame as we might be lead to believe.. Which also means, is there an actual third Targaryen who matters other than Jon and Danny or is he going to drop the 3 headed dragon theme altogether?[/spoiler]
Thank God no Bran.. They managed to cut 3 books of him wandering around boring the shit out of us down into a quick storyline.
