To be fair its easy to forget a lot of the side shit in the books, especially in AFFC and ADWD. Some of the storylines were complete filler like the whole Aegon thing.
I thought they made the Mad King look stupid in the last episode. I would have preferred they stuffed the unused Aerys scene from season 1 into one of Bran's visions, really dumb they never showed execution of Rickard and Brandon.
