I think the show just fell in love with Lena Headey as an actress. Which she is very good. But, to be honest I'm kind of done with her storyline. It's just kind of same old, same old to me.

Yeah, in the books, there's no doubt in my mind she goes down in WoW.

Same with Littlefinger. He was such a big player in the game for the longest time but now they have him spouting Rush Chole type mumbo jumbo and smirking a lot.

LF was always a character with finite plans that end as soon as the Wall comes down. He clearly hasn't thought of this in the books or the show and his plans center on Sansa becoming Queen in the North and to rule through her in Winterfell. Well that's fricked now that Jon usurped her and even if he didn't, the Others ensure his destruction. Both in the books and show, LF's journey ends at Winterfell. The fact that LF has no armies is greatly emphasized in the books, and once he gets that army (same in the show) that is when he falls.
