In the books, Jamie for some reason or other feels compelled to confess to his brother about how he lied to him about Tysha - on their father's orders.

I basically agree. It's always clunky but easier to comprehend in the book. It would seem out of left field in the show, though. And I doubt it will make any difference in plot (I always thought Tyrion's anger would've burned out before he ever ran across Jaime again, which may never happen anyway).

In part because I only cared about Sam, Mance, Gilly and Maester Aemon, once they left, that was that.

Do you know that Mance isn't dead? I mean, he may be at the end of Dance, I don't remember. But Jon and Melisendre faked Mance's execution in the first part of Dance. (Stannis should know that the problem with following a fanatic with visions about destiny is that she may switch horses when she decides someone has a bigger destiny than he does...) Anyway, Mance doesn't actually die during his execution. It's a set-up by Jon and Mel, and Mance and some other Wildlings go to Winterfell to rescue Faux-Arya for Jon. (Which then places them in Theon's plot).

I wonder whether they'll skip Mance's child and just use the threat of Shireen being sacrificed. They've hinted at danger to Shireen, and with Sam promising last episode to never leave Gilly again, they may not need an excuse for Gilly to accompany Sam to Braavos beyond "I go, she goes."

I don't remember where Davos is or what he's doing. Book!Davos bored the ever-loving crap out of me.
