I disagree and agree.
If your disappointment is with the show "going it's own way" I think you may suffer from a common aliment of first come first like. I see it kinda like Star Trek vs JJ Star Trek. It's a different "timeline". True the show since Season 4 has moved away from the books greatly. But I don't think that makes it any more or less good or bad. Just a different telling, a "what if".
If your disappointed because the books will never be finished... then the show becomes the cannon. In this I'm more with you. It is a shame when fame and fortune hijack a good tale. But that's as much on the author and his lack of desire and motivation as anything. He's already the biggest thing in show biz right now. I sincerely think I'd be hard pressed to continue such an enormous task having stuck it big so early in the completion of said task.
