IMO a tv series should take on a life of its own, and not be shackled by the original source material. If something makes more sense to do in a series but not a book, so what? That's why you have the two mediums.
I've read all five books and thoroughly scoured the wiki. I find the changes made to be kind of delightful, actually. Knowing everything that's going to happen isn't fun.
