Oh, F*** THE SHOW RUNNERS!!! The show is great but it's nothing compared to the books.
He has 2 co-authors for the books and of course his wife and I'm guessing they know what's going to happen and if he dies, well, hopefully they will finish the books in honor of him. If not, I'm gonna learn some necromancy, raise him from the dead, make him finish those damned books and he will have my permission to die.
I'm almost positive he's saying "Go Leafs, go", since a) every hockey game I've ever been to always has people chanting "Go (team name), go!" and b) their jerseys say Toronto Maple Leafs, too.
Yeah, season 5 could end with book 5 which mean, oh, I so hope it means that book 6 will finally be coming out this year or very early next year, like January or February tops. If George R.R. doesn't finish the book in time and we get a new season of GoT featuring things that still haven't happened in the books I'm going to write a very angry and disappointed letter to Mr. Martin.
It's been 20 years since the first book, I've been to three of his book signings waaaaay before the TV show was even an idea and I've been a huge fan of his for a very long time.
The problem is that the show has a much faster pace than the books, cutting out a lot of material which would be hard to follow in a show like this, I guess, but season 5 could very well end with book 5 because there is a lot of detail in there which the show hasn't been using so much for now. Of course, they could stretch it into 2 seasons if the 6th book doesn't come out in time, but all of the content could be put only into season 5 because a lot of in the book is branching out from the main line the show follows.
Maybe I'm just overthinking this because I really want to read book 6, I mean, every single person's faith is left wide open, some characters we thought dead are maybe coming back, some characters may be dead or alive, the whole situation with the Wall, with Dorne, with Tyrion, Sansa, Bran, even fuc**** Rikkon and Osha, Cersei's fate, who is her Champion (an undead Mountain would be too simple) and Margaery's fate too, what about the Dog, is he really dead, what about Varys's plans he put in motion more then 20 years ago and of course, Stannis, was Ramsey telling the truth in the letter to Snow or, oh, and Snow, will he survive the stabbing and a lot, a lot more.
It depends on how they do it. Books 4 and 5 happen concurrently just with different characters and I heard the show was gonna do it chronolo… moregically. So itll probably be set up in season 5 and carry over to season 6. Which is great, because it means best character gets to be important for 2 seasons straight~
The show is changing the ending. Youre forgetting book 3 was split into 2 season. Meaning season 5 is actually book 4 and so on. Following the books it was originally planned the show would go 8 seasons due to the split of book 3. However the producers have announced it would end on season 7. Considering if they follow the books season 7 would follow the 6th book. This can only mean that the small changes that weve seen increasingly through the course of the show will only continue until its a completely different storyline from the books. Some events will undoubtedly still happen in both, but the endings will differ.
I agree about the small changes because all of the information in the books is just to much to be shown on TV and they have to change or they would end up with 20+ season of GoT. I don't have any issues with that because I can't recall a single TV show or movie which truly followed a book it was based on.
My biggest concern is the show ending before the books because George R.R. Martin has a legal obligation to HBO to give them a proper ending which should stay true to the books. The main plot line, the skeleton of the last two books. Maybe they already have it, maybe they don't, but I'm positive he has a general idea of what will happen written down somewhere, probably with some of the more important chapters already finished. We all know his health isn't what it should be and he can take a long freakin' time writing a book.
I'm confident the books will be finished, either by the author himself or his co-authors and wife because they must know him, his ideas and style by heart already. What I'm not so confident about is the show finishing before the actual books. First of all, he is a writer and he has a duty to his oldest fans, those fans who actually went to a library and picked up one of his books, those fans who bought those books, who supported him not only with ASOIAF, but with his other work too long before GoT became a thing.
I still remember the first time I read A Game of Thrones, I was just a kid who loved to read books about knights and queens and dragons. This book had it all, I laughed, I cried, I got scared and embarrassed (12 years old then so yeah) and I read it many times after as the first book became better and better as I grew older. Well, it's been over 13 years since then and I'm still waiting patiently.
I know he's making a lot of money of the show and what not, but it would be very disappointing, sad and rude for the show to end before the books.

Jon: Don't eat Snow!

Was Robb Stark's child was going to be name after Ned Stark? if it was that would make more ironic.
Yeah Talisa suggests it to Robb at the Red Wedding.
Oh wow. the name "Ned" is cursed then. Thanks for the like have one back.

Well it would be the team's name he is going for.

Why does Theon look like Marty McFly? XD
No idea, I was just randomly cruising google images and I found this. I found it funny that he's holding a hot dog if you catch my drift.
