Gilligan is using this philosophy with a prequel series that has characters with firmly established endings while GRRM refuses to deviate from an ending that he can't set up

That might not connect with GRRM's issue.
I think his biggest problem is that he's lazy. Writers write, and I know some hate to hear this, but if GRRM was doing his job as a writer, he would have finished the series a long time ago.
But I know, I know who am I to tell a creative artist when they should be creating yada yada.

GRRM set up a world a bit more complex than Vince Gilligan

I think part of the reason he doesn't write is he can't get all the pieces in the series to fit into this endgame he says he's had since the beginning.

I agree with Vince Gilligan. I don't really agree that GRRM has that problem. He has spoken at length in his blog about letting the story flow naturally and grow in the telling.
But, it is definitely a problem when writers force something in at the end whenever the story should have outgrown it. "How I Met Your Mother", I'm looking at you...

The problem may have been adding too many pieces.

I can't imagine what it's like to be a fan of the books. I remember when Rowling took that long break between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. I thought I was going to die from anticipation in those final months before the release of the fifth book. And that was a wait of three years. And her excuses for the delay were valid (got married and had a baby).
The only excuse I can think of for this wait that is now five years long is he no longer needs the money.

GRRM will die before the books are completed and D&D will finish it via the show. The sooner you accept this, the better.

I love Harry Potter, but the depth of their worlds aren't comparable.

Who the hell watches Talking Saul? I can guarantee you GRRM is not wasting his time watching that filler crap

You're trying too hard to crack a code that doesnt need to be cracked.
Martin has said he simply didnt put in the time and he is a slow writer. Let the man be. \

I watched. They had Jonathan Banks on. Love that guy, wanted to hear what he had to say about the series and the episode. Sue me.

I think he's just a lazy old bastard that's got plenty of cash and doesn't give a shite anymore.

It's amazing how often fat is correlated to laziness....

Nothing is exact. Ever. But most past experiences teach us that this quote is true.

I think it's that, and that now he's trying to find a little different way to get everything to the end. Doesn't want the show to completely spoil the books.

You couldn't painstakingly create that world by being lazy.

He's made too much money.
Probably.
