Aww that's cute. Nope. There are a ton of "u mad"s in here though and I'm just trying to set the record straight.

Oh ok. Well can you let us know what are some Fantasy genre book series that are better? They must be really popular and amazing so I'm sure some people may like to read them.
And I didn't start reading because of the show. I read AGOT in 1999.
As for your rant on GRRM finishing the series, I agree. He needs to hurry if he wants to finish before the books. I was only pointing out that the show does not have to pass the books or reveal anything not in the books yet if they don't have a want to finish it before GRRM finishes the novels. He has given them plenty of source material so they shouldn't be anywhere close to revealing anything imo
And I agree about him selling the rights to it before it was finished. Yet still I would be really pissed if I started something that became this popular and is essentially my life's work only to have someone else beat me to the end and reveal the endgame for something I had worked on for so long.
But then again maybe GRRM doesn't care if it does. Or maybe he agreed to let D&D do the series with the thought that they wouldn't be trying so hard to pass him? Idk

Whoa...what if Jon Snow's feint to enter the willing army as a spy parallels what Benjen stark did in the Others army?
What if Benjen is a double agent somehow?

Very interesting. But would Benjen be an Other or Wight or still human??

If he's still human and just pretending to be a wight I can only think of this

I got this crazy idea. How about George RR Martin not sell his unfinished intellectual property unless dumbass is going to write his books in time to keep up with the series? Yelling at HBO for moving ahead with the rough outline given to them is ridiculous. This show is going to fly by Martin's books. The sooner everyone accepts that, the better.
ETA: Anyone who found this book series as a result of an HBO show does not religiously follow the SF/F genre. Calling this the "greatest fantasy series ever written" on any median is a joke. We've seen very little creativity out of the series other than a penchant for detailing a very realistic portrayal of medieval times and war.
I actually find the book series very enjoyable for what it's worth; but, my god, it might be the most overrated book series ever the way people talk about it.
