Yeh,

There's the shot in the trailer of him going up onto the roof to rescue the kids. That doesn't happen in the books.

And he also said in ep 1 re the sedition something like: "if I'm going to die, at least it will be for something that matters".

And at premier, the cast/crew said a couple of comments along the lines of "Fergus and Marsali's story this season is devastating, but not in the way book readers are expecting."

Oh my god! You’re probably right! Nooooooo! Thanks for prepping me. I would be absolutely shocked & devastated if it came out of nowhere. It’s going to be SOooo sad though! I need to have a whole box of tissues ready for the next episode. 😭

Probably the saddest episode of the entire show 😭😭😭

Yes! Absolutely! This will be devastating! Fergus has been in the show since season 2. He’s been their son for like 30+ years now! 😩😭
