That's what I'm worried about. I know the writers have said that they have a general knowledge of where the story is heading. However I can't see George giving them all of the details because that would hurt interest in the book. I just see it becoming a problem soon. I wish George had thought this through more before he gave anyone the rights to turn his books into a show.

Forget the show passing George, I'm afraid that life will pass him first. I have a horrible thought, sometimes, that the show will be our only way to find out what happens, and then HBO will axe the series before its final season.
Can't wait to watch Joff die, though. |

Which still works. No way the show is into the second half of ADWD before 2017 unless they lop off major sections of AFFC. Then the race is on. Can Martin get the final book out in less than the three years it takes to catch up? The other problem is what happens if the writers do try and condense the rambling AFFC into ten episodes? If that happens no way Martin wins this race.

Given D&D's latest comments, the ending for this show will most likely be altered enough to preserve the books ending, but not so much that the events are unrecohnizable. |

![]() D&D have said that the rest of the story will be adapted into the rest of the remaining seasons of the show. It will no longer be a book per season or two basis. From here on out the writers will be drawing from the remainder of the story as a whole disregarding what's in what book. Like season 4 has book 3,4, and 5 material. Bran meets the Three Eyed Raven this season and that doesn't happen till well into book 5. Brienne starts her AFFC quest. Danny is in Mereen doing some book 5 stuff. The thing is that S5 & S6 will not just be books 4&5. D&D aren't adapting that way any more. That fact coupled with the fact that this was planned as an 80 hour/8 season show makes it pretty clear that the remaining four seasons will cover the material from the remainder of story including the unpublished books. Storm of Swords has always been D&D's beloved. That's the one they cared most about. It has all their favorite bits. That's why they wanted it to have two seasons. Going forward however the rest for the story will get split up across the remaining four seasons. What I'm getting at is they will be in book 6 territory before book 6 comes out. Bran's storyline from book 5 will be done by the end of this season. So next season will be interesting to see where they go with him. They either have to get material from TWOW or they will have to make up there own stuff. Last edited by Cook; 02-28-2014 at 08:21 AM. |

Just a quick thought/question.
If ,or when, they catch up with GRRM, do you think they may consider pausing the series and make The Dunk & Egg tales??? It would keep people interested and give GRRM more time to put book(s)... just a thought ![]() |

I think actors contracts would be a issue for something like that. Besides I know people who loose interest because the show has such a long break between each seasons as it is. I think it would kill it if they had to wait over 2 years to pick up the story. Also the children's age would also be a problem.

Well, bottom line is that George is going to have to step it up. At the current rate, we're not going to get his ending until 2020/2021. Unless he decides it's going to take another book to wrap up, and then it'll be even longer.

![]() Anyone ever check out Is Winter Coming? or Finish the Book George? Those guys can be pretty brutal, but I do find it somewhat entertaining and hilarious how furious some of those guys can get about it. ![]() |
