Absolutely not. Look at his latest books, they have issues, but they aren't even remotely close to the absolute shitfest the latest seasons of the tv show were. I trust Martin to deliver an at least decent ending. He is hundred of times better than D&D are.And most important, he actually gets the story he has created.

I mostly agree. If nothing else GRRM actually cares about the characters to a degree and isn't thinking "we need to finish this because we've got this other big project to work on now!" - the fact they were offered a full season for the finale and didn't take it will never not annoy me.

I say I only "mostly" agree because I feel like he's written himself into a corner by having too many threads on the go and bringing those threads all back together is obviously a problem for him. I expect if he ever does finish I'm setting my expectations to moderate-low and anything else is a bonus.

Didn’t he say that the show pretty much ended the way he’s going to write it anyway? It’s not like they went ahead in a vacuum without any say from him.

[(Anonymous)]

The actual events aren't the problem with the show ending, though, so much as the lack of set-up and character justification

Both of which are things GRRM could theoretically execute better

I trust Martin to deliver an at least decent ending.

Well, I would too. In a world where he's even remotely showing signs of moving toward delivering any kind of ending to this series. (okay, different rant, but still)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't want to be a pessimist or anything, but it's looking like it's highly more likely that he'll die before anything actually gets finished...

[(Anonymous)]

people keep saying that and i can't for the life of me figure out how you think that's reasonable, whining about someone's death, in advance, not because you think it'd be a shame if they died, but because you want to read a book. all this person is is their value to your entertainment. baffling.

That’s not what ayrt did, and even if it was — sorrow that an artist will never finish their last great opus is hardly new or appalling. It’s a much older phenomenon than the modern notion that no one must mention that an elderly person will die someday.

[(Anonymous)]

What's baffling is that that's what you took from it. I'm generally sad when a person dies, but in the context of stories, it's fine to also be sad when you realize there's a good possibility you aren't going to get a proper ending to a series you've been following for the last decade or so.

But don't let that explanation get in the way of you filling your keyboard hero quota for the day.
