Oh yeah I was wondering about that. I don't remember that from the book at all. Seems to me like she's a Faceless, maybe this is just their introduction so we can relate them to Jaqen?

There is a woman with a wooden mask in the books, who comes along with the initial contact party. Doesn't offer much beyond "Those Warlock guys are crazy".
*to the bookshelf!
Having checked, she is Quaithe the shadowbinder, wears a red lacquered mask.
No, she was in the books. From her arrival in Qarth, ch. 27 of Clash of Kings, summary from awoiaf:
All Quaithe offers her is cryptic words: to beware all in Qarth, for when they see her dragons they will lust, because dragons are fire incarnate, and fire is power.
Huh. Sounds one-note enough that it's the kind of stuff the show usually cuts, or replaces with Ros.
In retrospect, having Ros suddenly there to warn Jorah would have been hilarious.

i noticed it because it seemed like the kind of explicit warning a show would need to condense a whole bunch of foreshadowing from the books
i didn't remember it being in the books, stuff like that blends a lot more into the background of a setting because you're not forced to stare at the lady for X seconds like on TV

Thing is I remember her simply because the mask was so weird/unique, I was waiting to see if she would turn up, just to see how they would do that. (Really well as it turns out)
Could still be Ros though, she was wearing a mask after all :P
My favorite line from that episode (besides, well, basically anything from Arya's storyline) was Theon totally ripping off Robb's threat against the Greatjon.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Man yeah fuck the rest, the best quote of the evening was
"If anything should happen to Lord Tyrion, please kill me."

i can't believe i forgot about Quaithe, because her quote from the book is:
"To go north, you must journey south, to reach the west you must go east. To go forward you must go back and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow."
Which reminds me of
"My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"

Wait now this is reminding me of Mirri Maz Duur's curse.
Honestly, no one in any of the books has it better than Bronn. He went from nearly-nameless dirtbag sellsword to well paid bodyguard to a land-owning Lord Commander while sacrificing nothing.
Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

Quaithe's quote and Mirri Maz Duur's curse are both phrases that Dany repeatedly thinks about in her POV chapters, so they are similar in that regard.
Lancel is now definitely a necessary part of the Tyrion/Bronn sitcom

What?!?! The Iron Men sail cogs? Outrage! Sacrilege!
There can be no iron price paid by a man who takes his house to sea.
Yeah, that was such bullshit. I hope it's only the Sea Bitch, and it's just an additional insult to Theon.
If all the Iron Fleet is made up of cogs, I say we get all the Scandinavians together, build some long ships and sail over and sack HBO's monasteries. And take their gold.

HBO is inland bro.
Well, they probably don't have any monasteries either, but I don't care. The Viking answer to everything is sail over in your long ships and take their gold. Maybe we can use the river(s).
Nuthin wrong with Cogs.
Scandinavian Expys can pirate in anything that floats (in the case of Cogs, the Vitalian Brotherhood).
If anything Longships and Knights in full plate sharing a universe is anachronism at its worst.

They do capture ships, it's possible his dad gave him a cog as a fuck you
When we see Yara's fleet well find out
Ah, The Gentlemen... such great villains, even if they were for just one episode.
In spite of or actually probably because all of its dialogue could fit in less than 10 pages.

Pedantic vocabulary nitpickers

woah I did not notice that at all
might have something to do with me being used to her being clean and not a slave in the Harry Potter movies
anachronism at its worst would be if sweet child o' mine started playing as the sea bitch set sail
