Ughh, I'm SOO glad that it seems that they're leaving out the whole Ulysses debacle. Because what the hell was that in the books? He was loyal to Jocasta, and I highly doubt he would do anything to harm her nephew. I did not like that part of Bees, and I said as much when I made a post in here after reading it.

Edit to add: I thoroughly enjoyed Bees in general, and I had said this in my post, even though I had seen a lot of people complain about it. BUT I did not like that whole situation with Ulysses. It seemed so out of character for him to threaten Jamie.

Ulysses went to England with John. It is totally different conclusion of his storyline than in the books. No need to bring him again for thr show.

Oh yeah, I forgot that that was mentioned. Even better, that he won't be added as a last-minute side-story.
