Presuming this season ends with the weddings or maybe Stannis at the wall, I don't see how next season could be better unless they draw considerably from Feast/Dragons. The only other stuff I can think of are the circumstances with Oberyn.
The RW (how cryptic are we ITT?) will be Episode 9. Check the title.

Unless it's a spoiler you've read in Winds of Winter (like a chapter preview, for example) or maybe from The Hedge Knight or something, you don't need to be cryptic at all.

although i'd kinda prefer "what's happening in the tv show in each episode" to be spoilered since they move stuff around. i know i've ready it and all but still.
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
Oi. We are definitely going to have something like a meeting of the Red God followers under the Brotherhood, if Melisandre is speaking with Gendry.
...Huh. I knew that was the likely pairing seen in one of the previews, but not so sure how I feel about Melisandre turning into show-Littlefinger and his magic teleportation device.

I guess it's hard to leave people with the Red Wedding, but now that Dany has peaked (at least if we go by the books), eh on ending on her. But maybe they'll make it awesome.
Yeah, I kind of wish I hadn't seen the episode descriptions, though I had seen Rains of Castamere now that you mention it.
Am I smoking the crack, or did Mel disappear for a bit in the books? What function will be served by her meeting Thoros?

Remember that she told Stannis in the show that she needs the blood of a king. She might know of Gendry through Thoros (though Thoros himself doesn't seem to know, at least yet), or she might inform him, or she might just go to visit Thoros and ask for counsel and find Gendry there, or whatever. The fires know.
What are they doing with the Bran storyline? If Sam and Gilly meet an "older gentleman" on the 8th episode, and said gentleman sends them to a specific fort--there really isn't much of a way to stretch out Bran and, in parallel, Stannis at the Wall. We are going to have a lot of
hodor!
trudging through the snow during early season 4, I suspect.
Well, it seemed like Stannis basically had nothing to do all season if he didn't go to the Wall; same with Bran. But the revelation that they're going to add Melisandre stuff patches that hole a little.
That leaves Oberyn, StannisWall, and Petyr/Sansa to be covered in Season 4. But I think they'll still dip into Feast/Dance by the end.

bran's part in that gets dropped for the moment and coldhands meets them later? so therefore we don't see summer help jon? idk that'd suck but :/

Also, Dany basically conquers Meereen at the end of Storm, right? So she basically just needs to conquer 2 more cities to finish her entire arc for this season and the next one?

stannis still has to free davos/name him hand, the leech scene where he asks for robb/balon/joffrey to die. (which should be powerful) and all that. mostly it won't happen b/c they won't have the battle for the wall in the last 5 episodes. jon snow isn't even back yet and probably can't be feasibly till at least episode 7 at the very earliest

yeah but i mean they can at least stretch that out or have her settled in mereen a bit by the end of s4 so it's not as bad
it wasn't a problem for them last season when they made up a bunch of shit
