Now what I'm dreading most...the TV show overtaking the books.
Shittiest. Ending. Ever

I really don't think that's going to happen but even if it does who gives a fuck? It won't be spoiled for me, I don't even watch the TV show anymore. It wouldn't be too difficult to avoid hearing about what happens.

Me and lots of others I know. I've been reading these books for almost 13 years now, waiting patiently for each new book and I want to learn about it the way Martin intends to tell the story. The idea that I might somehow learn the ending from D&D who felt that Dr. Talisa the Modern Medicine Woman and Ros, the Hooker With a Heart of Gold are good things does not strike me as a satisfying ending. I know way to many fans of the show and there is no way I'd be able to go potentially years without being spoiled.

I truly don't mind the tv series catching up with the books...I care about reading about ASOIAF and Westeros...
so yeah! I hope there's at least an 8th book. Actually as long as GRRM is alive we can make him write about westeros...even better!

[Dysun]

I dread GRRM not having the time to finish the series in a satisfying way foir him. As long as it's what he wanted I'm sure I'll like it (I have thus far)

[jvking]

My biggest fear is how I will deal with never getting another in the series.

[Pinkie Baelish]

I really don't want Jon and Dany to end up marrying at the end of the series. Can you imagine how awful their dinner conversations would be?

"Hey, remember that time when your dad burnt my grandfather alive?"

[Lord Boltons flaying knife]

I only hope that there is a Stark in Winterfell.....

Humbled to be serving their trueborn lord, Ramsey Bolton, and King Roose Bolton. The king of ice.

Nah, I dunno. I just hope old George doesn't drop before the last novel. I am satisfied with his product and will bend the knee to whatever he creates.

[The Generic Walrus]

Any non bittersweet ending, any ending where Stannis dosn't go out like a badass...

[Pinkie Baelish]

I could see the series ending with the Others crossing the Wall and annihilating Westeros. I really don't want this to happen though.

I saw a post that said what Jon said to Arya could be prophetic, something about finding her body dead underneath the snow because she seperated from the pack. In the end, I want Arya alive and with power somehow, so now I'm dreading her dying. If she has to die, I'm also dreading it to be something insignificant to Westeros. Her death should be the mark of something, just as Eddard's was...

I'm tempted to argue with you about this, but its not worth it...

[ServantOnIce]

I want a happy ending. Real life is brutal enough. After reading 5 of these books and Three Memory of Flames, I read a book today that had a happy ending. It felt good . . . . . we have a enough misery in this real life, how about cutting us some slack and give us what we need baby, A HAPPY ENDING!!

Sugar Plums and Eternal Spring for All .

[SimonSez]

I'm afraid my cynical view of the ending (The Others killing all living things on Westeros) will be the climax of the series. The CoTF and The Others will team up to kill all the invader races of men, excepting Bran and Bloodraven.

Then Arya, Dany and her army will return to Westeros, burn the Others, and then Dany will be queen and her "children" will repopulate the continent.

Although, seeing Others strangle certain characters in Kings Landing would be awesome.

I will laugh my ass off for a good day or two if this happens. It would be the greatest trolljob in the history of literature.

[Grimwolfe]

i quite like the idea of only bran being left, potentially walking again, and lord of winterfell with summer at his side.

[Melpomene]

Well, I'm definitely worried about the thought of GRRM dying before the series ends

(Otherwise I'll make him go all Frankenstein on his hiney)


Also, altogether, whatever the ending may be I just don't want to feel all bummed out and depressed upon reading the last pages. I reeeaallyy want to feel content and satisfied.

[wandering]

Jon and Ayra never meeting again.
The Boltons not getting their commupence.
Sansa having a happy ending.

Fwiw i find all the GRRM dying posts extremely distasteful.

I don't understand the Tyrion hate, can someone explain this to me. And I ABSOLUTELY don't understand the Sansa love. What has gone wrong here?

You might get shit on for both of those my friend...

Have you actually read the books?
