That would be the ultimate troll attempt by Martin that he'll live to finish the end of the series .

HBO will definitely pass him up. I'm optimistic that TWoW will be out no later than 2015, and seeing that season 6 will be in 2016....But yeah, if they're going to divide books 6 and 7 into 3 seasons (seasons 6, 7, and 8), and not start ADoS material until season 7 (2017)....no fricking way in hell that Martin has ADoS out by 2017. Unless he starts popping out books every 2 years like he was able to do for books 1-3. But he watches so much football and travels all the time going to nerd conventions that I doubt he'll have it done. He can whine and bitch at HBO all he wants, because he brought it upon himself/he's at his own fault for it.
