Unfortunately, it seems like it's a lock at this point. When the first season ended and they announced A Dance With Dragons coming out that summer, a lot of people thought he was taking his output more seriously. His editor even said he would be back to "a book every 2 years" schedule now that he took care of the Feast/Dance arc. But now it's looking more like the 5+ year trend is continuing. Personally, I think the backtracking on where to take the story after Storm broke it and I would not be surprised if he never finishes the books.Quote:

Wait, those weren't in the books? Those were among the best scenes in Season Two. I'm a little less excited about getting to the second book now.Quote:

Shortest AMA in Reddit history.
I don't think anyone has mentioned the rather humorous scene with Brienne and her dress.
The opening episode was pretty good, but it's clear that it's primary aim was to set the scene and remind us all of last season. Which leads me to a small question: where did we leave Stannis last season? I'm having difficulty remembering his storyline from last season. I could go over it on-line, but I can't be bothered.
He got a message from the Wall saying to come and bring his army because the Whitewalkers were coming.

This is fascinating. While it's about Sunday's episode, I don't think there are any major spoilers in it.
