In response to the first post, I'm guessing they change some things in the show because they feel it wouldn't work so well if they did it how it happens in the book. Sometimes books just don't translate well onto screen, they can't get the dramatic effect if they keep it the same. I imagine some of it is to (depending on the scene) fill or cut down on time too.
Could also just be to keep the fans of the books on edge. I guess a big theme in Thrones is the idea that nobody is safe, so if they follow the books exactly nothing will shock the diehard fans.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
