Doubt they would finish it differently.
Assuming GoT is a big success and looks set to go on forever but George takes another 5 years for the next book (not so sure future ones will be as slow) then they'll probally just start stretching things out a lot. Having two series for Dance instead of one for instance.

Well, my DVR bricked itself this weekend. Just in time.  <_<

Hopefully there will be reruns galore.
of course there will.
It's hbo and if you have on demand through your cable should be able to watch it through that, and hbo is starting new online service that subscribers can watch any episode from their series.

Isn't Dragons supposed to be the last book? It is finished.

:console:

It's a planned 7 book series.

Next two books are The Winds of Winter
The original title A Time for Wolves was much cooler.

Ok, must have been wrong. That being the case I agree it won't likely get finished. His progress seems to be flattening out asymptotically.

It is certainly is a possibility.  I think there is too much financial pressure with the HBO series to state for sure that it is more likely to not be finished than finished (after all he is supposedly 5/7s of the way there) but I would not be shocked either way.

At least he finished this one eh?
From what I hear online, apparently his editor forced him to come down to her office and work. If this continues, there's hope. 

EDIT: Here's the editor showing off the manuscript

No, it's full of fat people.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Am re-reading the books... In the first bran chapter, the scene with the dead dire wolf.

- The mother direwolf was killed by an antler (presumably from a deer). The Stark sigil was killed by the Baratheon sigil.
- The albino direwolf representing Jon Snow has the hair of the Targaryens.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Is this final proof that Jon Snow is the son of that dude, the older brother of the girl with the 3 dragons?

Bastard half brother :contract:

We still have no reason to believe that even if Lyanna and Rhaegar were the parents that Jon would be anything but a bastard. Rhaegar was married to Elia Martell at the time iirc.

Brother refers to Rhaegar.

Grey Fox was refering to Aerys .

damn... getting confused..

Dany would be Jon's Aunt if Rhaegar and Lyanna are his parents, but since Rhaegar and Lyanna don't seem to have been married and Rhaegar was already married he would still be a bastard, just not Ned Starks bastard.
