They're probably going to mostly sideline Jaime for a season like they did Tyrion in the last. He'll still be around alot, but the only real thing of importance he'll do is release Tyrion in the end to kill Tywin. Tyrion really only did one big thing last season by marrying Sansa.

I'd say Tywin is going to have a total falling out with all three of his children before his death. I could see an added scene where Tywin is remorseless towards Cersei for Joffrey's death and say something on the lines of the realm being better off with Tommen as King.

With Jaime, he'll be treating him worse than Tyrion on his return, since Jaime will refuse his father's command to renounce the White Cloak and be Lord of the Rock. He'll also see him as a cripple and nothing more.

I definitely think the writers are going to make a lot of changes regarding AFFC. Dorne and the Iron Islands are going to be condensed, as well as Brienne. I think Sansa's time in the Eyrie is going to have more scenes than in AFFC. Episode 9 or 10 in season 4 will have the Lysa death from ASoS scene but season 5 will probably have extra Sansa Littlefinger scenes that weren't in AFFC.

I just think they're going to point blank skip Dorne and just give us an overview on what is happening down there. I don't think we'll see Arianne until Season 6, but we'll see Quentyn in Season 5.

The Iron Born is a bit more tricky since out of all the arcs, I thought for sure they'd move the Queensmoot to Season 4 and end part of season 3 with Balon being killed. But with Asha, I'm not sure where they're going with it. We'll have to see Euron and Victarion soon, since they will certainly have a roll to play in Season 5.

Sansa in the Vale I think this season will go mostly the same as it did in the book. They'll probably add a scene or two on their way from Baelish Keep the the Eyrie. They'll certainly add some scenes in Season 5 with her though.

I think that season 5 will be heavier on ADWD than AFFC. Plus both book's events happen at the same time but I think AFFC will be heavily condensed because most of the main POV's are in ADWD.

They're obviously going to start some of AFFC this season. I'm thinking Tyrion kills Tywin in Episode 9 (maybe 8), and they'll end the season with Tywin's funeral and the Burning of the Tower of the Hand. Then the next season will start off with Cersei demanding Kevan be Hand of the King.

I think they'll rap up ADWD and AFFC in Season 5 for the most part, and then go onto the first half of WoW.
