Such a crazy situation. I hope there isn't a dropoff. Because those books provided a great storyline. Also, I imagine the two will fork here.

Anybody else thinks George will let the show go one direction, and then go the complete opposite way with the books?

but we're heading towards the same destination. I kind of wish that there were some things we didn't have to spoil, but we're kind of stuck between a rock and a fat arse. The show must go on

I have abandoned the Hodors to their ignorance and paranoia. No amount of divergence or differing storylines can bridge that gap.

Either you are a reader or you are a Hodor - there is no middle ground (pun intended) with "those" people.

Hodors, by definition, cannot be reasoned with.

by not finishing the books before the show, Martin is losing a lot of money

who wants to read a book when they already saw the show? I suppose he'll then change things up, and everyone will hate him more.

I'm just being honest when I say he comes across as a lazy fricker. I don't care either way, but I'm just saying how I feel about these books. Like some aspects became obvious and now he doesn't know how to change it up and/or he's too lazy to give a shite.

Maybe I'm in the minority of book readers, but I'm absolutely okay with this.

If this happens, I honestly hope George changes the end game for the books and says "This is how the story really ends". Otherwise, what's the point of reading the books?

So, now I'm wondering . . . how many more years does the HBO series go? 2-3 years?

I think that's a good thing. Not sure I can handle going through more of his subpar writing. I'm sorry, but Feast and Dance were both awful.

Doesn't bother me at all. There have been a few aspects of the show that departed from the books that I didn't care for but overall the show has been very entertaining. The general theme is set so I have no problem with the show writers winging it at this point. I would rather this than have the show stop production for a year or more waiting for Martin to complete the books.
