Keeping the Red Wedding a brutal surprise - The Red Wedding gets a lot of foreshadow upon a rewatch of the series, but it's nothing compared to the books. Keep in mind that 90% of Robb's storyline is told from Lady Cat's perspective, (which came as a shock to me that one of the major characters in the series so far never had his own chapter of narration), so we see her constantly fretting about the Freys inside her head. There's also the chapter where Dany visits the House of the Undying, where she literally sees in a "vision" the aftermath of a massacre at a feast, complete with a dead king on the throne with a wolf's head on his body. Factor that in with Lord Bolton's traitorous behavior, and by the time Robb gets killed it actually makes more sense than it would if he had survived.
Patchface's ramblings foreshadow a lot:
"Fool's blood, king's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye."
"The shadows come to dance, my lord, dance mylord, dance my lord," he sang, hopping from one foot to the other and back again. "The shadows come to stay, my lord, stay my lord, stay my lord" He jerks his head with each word, the bells in his antlers ringing up a clangor.

Oberyn's Characterization
"Conversations with Tywin.... were left out"
No it wasn't left out, just neither character has a POV.
You know nothing.
