George R.R. Martin Finally Accepts 'Game Of Thrones' Will Finish Before He Passes Away, Thus Leaving The Books Unfinished
The show has been cutting out tons of fat that Martin threw in to stall the story.

George R.R. Martin was at the Northwestern football game last Saturday to be honored as a notable alumnus. After the presentation on the field (during which he received a standing ovation), he walked past the home field stands. I was shocked at the reaction of those around me as he walked by. People were falling all over themselves trying to get his picture and screaming his name. There was a Penn State fan sitting in front of me who said he didn't care about the outcome of the game anymore as seeing Martin made his day. I can't remember ever seeing this kind of fan reaction for anyone other than professional athletes or musicians.

Ha. He lives here in Santa Fe and I see him often. He always looks homeless while in Santa Fe.
Santa Fe is a very small community with a lot of celebrities living here but no one pays any attention overall. He bought and renovated the Jean Cocteau cinema which I go to often. He is there often but not too sure people truly know who he is sometimes.

Martin confirms what we thought would happen; book 6 will not be out before the TV show resumes. (He blames, among other things, his running of W+A's favorite theater, the Jean Cocteau.)
This means that the show will be spoiling the books (and of course book readers will no longer have inside knowledge.) I personally consider this a good thing because I believe the Martin has lost his way. The show was smart enough to not only push, and reduce, books 4 and 5 together thereby cutting out tons of padding and stalling.
