Qarth's changes I think were done just to dilute the arc throughout the whole season (it will just get back to normal), but everything else was pretty good: Cersei and Tyrion, Varys, Brienne & Jaime etc, all very close to the books :)
Odd that they did the Brienne and Jaime bit early (also odd that they killed off Cleos Frey, too). That actually doesn't happen until the beginning of Storm of Swords.

Once again, I started reading the beginning of the next book before the TV season was over, and somehow miraculously avoided spoilers in the show that way, without meaning to. Though there's no way to avoid spoiling Jeyne Westerling, unfortunately..
