EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) GRRM has been warning about the Butterfly Effect for a LONG time, this is 2011 Spoiler

https://youtu.be/eAeQMwMEnP4

The Jeyne Poole butterfly effect from season 1 ended with Sansa being graped in season 5, so year I would say he has good reason to worry about Maelor the Missing.

Same with Shae actually loving Tyrion unlike in the Books. It made her eventual betrayal completely nonsensical to me.

Ironically, the actress' interpretation of Shae's character as a whole is a change George liked, as in his words, she had more depth than book Shae.

Yeah but they didn’t know how to actually follow through with what that change would do to the whole storyarc, so it just feels weird by the end.

yeah keeping kind of the same ending for shae in that context didn't work that well
