I am happy to see Weiss & Benioff's vision, and it has been wonderful, AFAIC. Last season was epic.
If GRRM ever gets off his fat ass and finishes ASOIAF, I'll be happy to see how it was really supposed to end.
I will also enjoy the debates about what is canon. I will probably argue both sides, depending on what kind of day I'm having.
I'm willing to place a bet, here and now, that he'll never finish the books once the TV show is complete. If they get halted before completion, all bets are off.
I'd be thrilled to be wrong, well worth a piddling $10, but I truly feel he has pretty much let the TV show take over. He'll likely release book 6 someday, or it'll be released in some form after he passes, but I highly doubt he'll ever finish the entire story in book form.
I think we'll definitely see Winds of Winter, but not book 7.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
