My guess: no sansa or littlefinger in the next season. They deal with martins inflating storylines by completing he arc as quick as possible.
I'm not so sure they can get away with having absolutely none given how important it has been this series. I think we will see a reduced amount of appearances but still something...which will be interesting as it will poke ahead of the books.

That would let Sophie Turner and Aiden Gillen do other stuff while everybody else is filming, possibly with a scene or two here or there. But basically, they reached the end of their arc in the books quicker than anybody else.

Next season we get to see the battle with mance and it's consequences adn we get to see stuff in essos. Dany was slowed down this seeason, just like jon snow, while Kings landing and Eirie was speeded up.

There were only 3 Sansa chapters in A Feast for Crows, so we probably won't see that much of her.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

They were awesome chapters though.  I loved The Lords Declarant and how Littlefinger dealt with them.  Obviously inspired by The Lords Appellant.  Littlefinger is much smarter than Richard II.

No need for spoilers for something that has already been shown on tv :)

Btw, did any of you read the latest twist in the saga?  There might be an 8th book according to GRRM' publisher...  I'm so surprised! :)

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Hopefully they'll try to converge Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons into a more coherent story line. If I remember right, the first half of DwD overlaps with Feast for Crows and I don't see how they could afford to remove Tyrion for an entire season.

I think if you take the speed of happenings in the first two books and apply it to the 4th and 5th, those are just one book worth of stuff, really.

I mean FFS a quarter of book 5 was about Tyrion travelling, Tolkien style.

I'm not sure, in the books the battle has two distinct and separate phases. It's quite possible that the set piece episode this seasons will be the first phase of hte battle with the cliff hanger being the moment before the second phase starts.
