* In the book ''[[ASongOfIceAndFire A Game of Thrones]]'', Khal Drogo removes Mirri Maz Dur's poultice, relies on the Dothraki healers instead, and his wound gets infected. This lends some credibility to Mirri, who criticized the Dothraki methods. In the [[Series/GameOfThrones TV series]], they use Mirri's method, Drogo gets infected anyway, and Danaerys still trusts her to heal him. [[spoiler:It's even heavily hinted that Mirri wanted him to die]]. It all makes Dany seem naive and oddly trusting of someone she knows little about.
** In the second season, The Hound offers to help Sansa escape while he's fleeing the city. She refuses, as she does in the books. This makes sense in the books, as, despite [[PetTheDog the occasional act of kindness]], he does make some sexual comments to her, and [[spoiler: [[NearRapeExperience the threat of rape in their last meeting was pretty strongly implied]]]]. It still makes sense on some level in the TV series, as running through a war zone with a drunken BloodKnight isn't exactly easy, but, considering her alternatives, it seems rather odd that she didn't at least consider.
*** Also, Sansa's situation wasn't quite as desperate at that point in the book, as [[spoiler:Ser Dontos Hollard already had a escape plan for her well underway]], a plot thread that was cut completely.

* One of these shows up in the film version of ''AScannerDarkly''. In the novel, Bob and friends freak out and get angry because Barris brings home an 18 speed bike he bought from someone, but Luckman only counts 9 gears (6 in back, 3 in front), leading them to think Barris got ripped off. Later, when Bob gets debriefed by his superiors, he's told that they're pulling him out because the drugs he uses while undercover are starting to effect his brain too much. They saw the group's reaction to the bike gears, due to the house being under surveillance, and they explain to Bob that the problem was that the group was adding the two sets of gears instead of multiplying them, which is how multiple speed bikes work. Bob's inability to figure out the problem indicates to them that his cognitive faculties are being erroded along with the other users. In the movie, this is not brought up in the debrifing, and the bicycle scene remains somewhat bizarre and unexplained.
** In a scene where the characters are riding in a tow truck after their car broke down on the highway, Luckman says "If I'd known it wasn't dangerous, I would have killed it myself." In the book, the statement is explained via {{Flashback}} as an in-joke among the group about how different classes of people view the world differently. In the movie, it just sounds like an incredibly random thing to say.
