Oh those are minor. And they can easily tell us about Tysha later, her story isn't really important to the plot until Book 3 anyhow.
After I watched this week's episode, I picked up the book, flipped to Sansa's scene and noticed they left out everything regarding Sandor Cleghorn and his knighthood by Joffrey. They also left out all the information we get through Catelynn's point of view regarding Jon Arryan. Without that last bit of information? It is impossible for a non-reader to piece together why and who killed Jon Arryan. Really curious to see how they resolve those two plot bits. Also, I think, they may have left out the bit with Robert Barratheon discussing Bran's condition with the royal family - how Bran would be better off dead. It seems minor - but it is really important.
What news that Ned hadn't spilled himself did Cersei get from her? That he really meant it?
In the book, Sansa tells Cersei that Ned has arranged for their departure and how she'd rather stay and be with Joffrey. Which Ned doesn't tell anyone. She states it before Ned tells Cersei what he has found out. (I'd forgotten about it - a co-worker at work who is listening to the audio version of the novel and not watching the tv series - reminded me.) Personally? I'm glad they deleted it - because it makes Sansa more sympathetic. In the book, I was ranting at her for about twenty pages.
And they left out the Tysha story.
Actually, they tell that in more depth in the second and third books. He does tell Sha a good portion of it, and he has several conversations with his father about it. The pivotal one, of course, is with Jamie. It's through flashbacks in both Jamie and Tyrion's pov's that we get most of that story.
Sort of hard to tell it here - because who would Tyrion tell it to? You can't really do flashbacks (well you could - but since they haven't done any for anyone else - it would be really odd.) No, they have to stick with the current style - which is no voice over or flashbacks or third person distant, as opposed to Martin and Whedon's which was third person close. Which means - we'll probably get Tyrion's back story with Tysha the same way we got Little Finger's backstory with Catelynn (through a conversation with Tywin or Jamie (with Little Finger it was a conversation with Ned) and a confession to a whore - (like Little Finger, Tyrion only trusts whores.) To be fair - the book in regards to Tyrion is more or less the same - flashbacks in Game, conversations with Shae, Tywin and Jamie in Swords.
