Martin has done a lot of TV writing, so I hope he'll be able to bring it off.
The Red Wedding is easily the most emotionally overwhelming moment in the books thus far. When I first read it, I don't think I absorbed much of anything in the next several chapters - when I did a re-read of ASOS I was surprised at how many post Red Wedding details I had missed.
I think the emotional impacts in the last third of ASOS (Red Wedding, Joffrey's wedding, the duel between the Mountain & the Viper) are part of the reason why Feast is considered so poor...it doesn't have the emotional moments (and can't; the table has been swept clean at that point and needs to be set up again).
Has Davos been cast yet?

I hadn't thought of it this way before, but that's a really good point.

Just a note that the website Tower of the Hand has started a series of posts on various characters and where they were left at the end of Feast. First up is Loras Tyrell, and the post introduces an idea new to me - The Grand Tyrell Conspiracy - which I don't think holds a lot of water. towerofthehand.com/blog/2011/06/27-bones-of-feast-ser-loras/index.html

I agree that this theory doesn't make much sense. The Queen of Thorns is a player, but it hardly seems likely that she's directing a vast conspiracy, one which includes Aurane Waters.
