frick Aegon, dude...If he is in fact a Blackfyre, and it is eventually revealed in the books (which will end up in significantly less support for his claim to the throne) then why is his story even relevant to the show?

The writers know the ending of the story and they will not leave out anything of importance. This omission tells me that Aegon is in fact a Blackfyre and his story will seemingly be unimportant. With all the other story arcs they have to fit into a 10 episode season, it's really not that big of a deal.

Give me a break. Do you really not think that Aegon is not going to be a gigantic part of WoW? If I had to guess, Aegon will be sitting on the Iron Throne at the end of the book. If Aegon is legit, then I think Jon has no real claim. Plus Aegon not being in it totally changes Varys character in the series and what he's really been up to. The fact that he is a Blackfyre is more relevant and interesting than if he was just swapped at birth. Plus it makes no sense why Varys would support Rhaegar's son when he played Aerys and Rhaegar against each other.

If I had to guess what ADOS will be, the 7 Kingdoms will be divided in 2: Aegon ruling the South, Sansa ruling the North (at least theoreticall), and Dany at Dragonstone with a fraction of her army she had in Essos feared by everyone. Really it more comes down to Tyrion vs Varys vs Littlefinger in the end, and Tyrion will beat them by choosing to save the realm rather than conquer it. If you have Tyrion and Varys on the same side, I think it ruins what it could become.

Or maybe you're being insanely speculative and putting the pieces together before you even have a puzzle?

Instead of sitting here criticizing the writers for leaving out a character YOU feel will be important to the ending, why can't you just trust that they have WAYYY more information than you do and wouldn't leave out such a crucial cog?

I hope not.

But as far as leaving story lines out goes, I can see them leaving Aegon and Coddington out. Which could be a bad spoiler for the books.

Im confused as to why they have Tyrion and Varys as BFF. Im not GRRM, but at this point id be jumping out on my relationship with the show. Obviously he loves him some money, but somewhere Id draw the line as far as money goes if it is going to almost ruin a series that you have been worked decades on. Ruin it as far as a bunch of readers go.
