Well then...

Spoiler:

Who the Hell is going to kill Kevan and Pycelle? They have to have Aegon and Connington - maybe next season? If not, the show really does become fan fiction

[Guynemer]

Or

Spoiler:

he's decided to throw in with Dany, pay no attention to the assassination attempt I arranged in the first season

[Lorizael]

Just finished ADWD. Now I can read all the spoilers. Woo.

So, if the show is cutting out...

Spoiler:

Aegon, doesn't that mean Varys is just kind of a jerk?

It's true. Humans have a very inconsistent perspective on death.

Actually, our perspective on death is very consistent.

It is unfortunate when someone else dies. It's a tragedy when I die.

Have any of you watched Full Metal Alchemist (series finished before Manga) and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (series redone after Manga completed)? Maybe there will be a GoT remake after GRRM finishes the books.

If he finishes.

[Lorizael]

In less than a century, people will care more that he left the work unfinished than that he died, and it will make perfect sense. Because everybody dies. Not everybody leaves a masterwork unfinished.

If someone steps in and finishes it, most people wouldn't care that he died.
Some might even like it better. Sanderson replacing Jordan.

[The Mad Monk]

Maybe because the bad part about him being dead is that he's dead and not that we didn't get to finish reading some books.

He can definitely get TWOW out before the series passes that point but there is no way he's going to get book seven out on time. Still, a few pages back in this thread I was complaining about how GRRM kept putting tons of new projects in front of TWOW so I'm just happy the guy has FINALLY said "Oh, ok... I guess I actually do sort have to get down to writing this thing."

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Pretty sure it's not going to matter at this point; the series will pass him, there's not much question of that now.

[Dinner]

It seems Martin is finally getting serious about writing the winds of winter as just yesterday, at Comicon, he said he will not be writing an episode for season five of game of thrones as he has to devote all of his time to writing the next book. He even said "people are getting antsy". It is nice to see he is no longer putting a bunch of other stuff in front of finishing TWOW.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Good riddance to the former. Seriously,

Spoiler:

magic horns

? Lame as ****.

I defend your right to be 100% completely wrong.

[Hauldren Collider]

I'd rather the three heads thing just be misdirection, though I know it won't be. It's a stupid plot device.

[Felch]

Not much point in tagging spoilers if you can't spell "spoiler."
