Any idea why Gendry is shown in the previews tied up with a hood over his head....

Doubtless part of the consolidation of plot lines and characters that they are doing to fit the book onto the show.

I don't really mind this particular twist. It' not like Gendry has been doing a heck of a lot in the books anyway. Just kind of lingering there.

I'll be more torn if they have Melissandre meet up with Thoros, Beric or anyone else in the Riverlands. That to me would be a pretty big departure. The only thing I could see that maybe assisting the story is if she sees how screwy the "resurrection" practiced by the red priest can be and how the outcome can be less than desirable. (This would be better shown with UnCat than Dondarion but I think maybe there would be time line problems going that route). If she learns something here, maybe IF she resurrects Jon (still a pretty big IF in my opinion), she can actually get it right and not come out with him being some freak.
