You're right about Jaime, he'll get to see the little shit die in the series then. I'm hoping we'll get Oberyn in episode one - hopefully they'll have him arrive for the wedding. I wonder if they'll drop in the hints about him poisoning Tywin or just leave it at Tyrion smoking him. Gonna be a good series for Jon and the wall with all that to come - surely it will end with Jon being elected Lord Commander. Also wondering how they're gonna work Stoneheart if they need to use the actress throughout the series.
The Tywin thing is interesting because the book only hints at it, the rest comes from tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists like myself. Although, it would not be the first time the show took a liberty to clear up some speculation (ie: Robb Starks wife).

Interesting ones that stand out there to me are Hizdahr and Tycho. I don't remember seeing Hizdahr in ASOS so I wonder if we'll be getting some of the ADWD stuff in Meereen or whether he'll just be introduced towards the end. Mark Gatiss is a great actor (love the League of Gentlemen) to be cast and fairly high profile in the UK - if I remember rightly the Iron Bank representative was first in AFFC asking for cash from Cersei then the next time we see him is when he treks to the wall so I wonder if we'll be seeing a bit more from that role in this series.
from what ive read it looks like the back half of book 3 and some parts possibly of books 4 and 5. my memory agrees with yours on Tychos, but i probably wouldnt have noticed him with all the stuff goin on in 3. i think they are accelerating the Asha/Stannis thing, so Tychos needs to speed up and get to Stannis.

Yeah a definite change of pace in that book after the culmination of the various shit storms in a storm of swords - a lot more exploration of the ramifications of the war and setting a lot of the characters up for whats to come I think.
well, we can hope. im still not ruling out GRRM trolling everyone, Keep Jon dead, Kill Dany in Book 6, have Arya and Aegon hook up, call their wedding song, A Song of Ice and Fire, and call it a day. realistically Aegon has a more legit claim to the throne than Dany does. but in truth, i see Dany hooking up with Victarian, at least for a short bit.
