Major events to look forward to from book 3:
Wildlings attack castle black and ygritte dies (probably next episode)
Lady Stoneheart (I think they will do it next episode)
Wildlings attack gate and are held off by NW
Stannis defeats wildlings
Jon elected NW commander
Joffrey dies. Yay!
Red Viper vs. Mountain in Tyrion's trial
Arya kills the Tickler (not sure if they replace him and still have that scene since the Tickler died, but it was an awesome scene in the books when she yells "is there gold in the village" over and over again as she stabs him) and gets Needle back
Arya escapes hound and goes to Bravos
Dany takes mereen
Jaime frees Tyrion, and Tyrion kills Shae and Tywin
Sansa escapes KL
I assume episode 9 next season will be Tyrion killing Tywin. After the Red Viper loses in episode 7 or 8, non-readers will think that Tyrion will be put to death in Episode 9, only to have it all flipped on its head when Jaime frees him and he kills Tywin. A more positive episode 9 for viewers than this year.
I think they will move some of Arya's and Brienne's story lines from Book 4 into next season, as well as some of Dany's Book 5 story line.
