You do realize GRRM is almost certainly going to kill everyone you care about, right? :)
- Victor Ganata
It ends with an upbeat Dothraki dance number, doesn't it. DOESN'T IT!
- Micah
OK, OK, IT DOES.

Watching season 3 of the show now after knowing what's going to happen...I gotta say it feels rushed and shallow now.
- Josh Haley
YOU TAKE THAT BACK JOSH HALEY!!!!

Josh, without spoiling anything, regarding that ending: Think about the beginning. All may not be as it appears.
- Stephen Mack
How many books in the series, and has he finished writing them yet? Because I daren't look anything up.
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
5 so far & nope & good plan, WoH!
- Stephen Mack
For now, GRRM says seven books. If his blog posts are to be believed, he's finished at least part of the sixth book. If Wikipedia is to be believed, GRRM has told the producers of GoT the outline of the rest of the series just in case he pulls a Robert Jordan.

Retiring to the recliner with iPad and Book 3 - this season, I believe.

Book 3 is this season...so far. Not sure how far they will take it on the TV show or maybe even truncate it since book 3 has so much in it. We shall see.
- Josh Haley
Stephen, are you hinting at a merge of GoT and the Walking Dead? ;)
- Josh Haley
Since books 4 and 5 have significant overlaps timeline-wise even if not plot-wise, they're almost certainly going to have to rearrange the material like the way Peter Jackson ended up interleaving Frodo-and-Sam's scenes with everyone else's scenes. I imagine that's why we're getting all the Theon stuff now.
- Victor Ganata
Yeah, 4 and 5 are parallel in time, focusing on different characters. TV would never work that way.

You know nothing, Jon Sno-... Oh... Oh!
