it's been a while since I've seen it, so I decided to double check. and yeah, you're right.

cersei does come up with the idea of "raining fire on them from above." looks like I misremembered just how much they took away her credit for the idea. this is subtle, but the book is subtle about it too. tyrion never acknowledges that he got the idea from cersei, not even in his own mind. and you can tell based on their exchange, her long pause, that she's clearly thinking about some kind of secret plan that she hasn't shared with tyrion yet.

so yeah, season 2 is a little bit more faithful than I was thinking in my head. the extent to which tyrion adapts and refines the plan might have changed between the show and book, but they seem to follow the same basic structure (cersei is up to some old bullshit, tyrion goes and confronts the pyromancer, confiscates her supplies because it's too reckless and dangerous... then proceeds to use them in his own plan without giving any credit to cersei). I'm way too lazy to go get my copies of the books, read through them, as well as rewatching the show just to find out.

they still glorify tyrion way too much, totally miss the mark on varys' character, and change littlefinger from a well-liked guy who no one would suspect into the first guy who everyone suspects.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
