    ^^^ Because of this I'd almost say they'd HAVE to. If they tried to get Bran to the same point by other means it wouldn't tie in as well. Plus it'll help people who haven't read the books hate Joffery like they should.

    smurf I hate Joffery!

    This is some of the best news all year.

    Also side note, April 26th is it or April 16th that the first episode of a Game of Thrones is shown on HBO? I'm hoping they done it well HBO have been known for good stuff recently with their remake of Battlestar Galactica and The Wire and The Corner. From the vids I've seen on youtube it looks great and Martin is heavily involved in the project. Though I doubt they'll do everything in the books such as (SPOILER)Jaime's and Cersei's incestrous sex scenes.
    HBO didn't do the BSG remake; that was SciFi. They did do Rome and Deadwood though.

    Anyway this is obviously great news, as is the GoT premiere. Let's hope he gets the last two out on a much tighter schedule. It would suck if they had to stop making the TV series because the last two books weren't out.

    Also it would be nice if people in this thread would mark their spoilers. It was kind of a shock when (SPOILER)Bran found out that Jaime and Cersei had an incestuous relationship and I would've been kind of pissed off to have the surprise spoiled for me. It was kind of the first hint anyone had that this wouldn't be an ordinary fantasy series.

    <div style="font: 16px Candara, Skia, Corbel, 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, Geneva, Helvetica, Lucida, 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; color: #38bcee; text-align: justify;">It's quite likely that a lot of people watching the TV series will be encountering the story for the first time. Far more people watch television than read books, unfortunately.</font>

    I haven't read these books and I plan on doing so. If you smurfers spoil it for me, I will rain down on you with the fury of a thousand demon cockcrushers from hell.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I suspect that there is a possibility that if George R.R. Martin doesn't finish the series for whatever reason that its popular television series could take its own direction. This happened early on in development with the television series based on the Dexter book series.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Default He's not lazy, just busy.

    I've heard rumblings that he's got some kind of deal with HBO that if they renew the show for another season, he's got a stricter timetable to complete the last two books of the series. From following his blog, I get the sense that a large part of the delay with A Dance with Dragons wasn't merely that he had trouble with certain plot arcs (he most certainly complained about the Myrenese Knot enough) but largely because he works on so many different projects at once. He's constantly editing and contributing to anthologies and also working on entries in the Wild Cards series he's been part of for a long time. If he focused his efforts more exclusively towards A Song of Ice and Fire we'd probably see an accelerated turnaround on the series.

    I remember reading the last book not that long after it came out. And the sequel still isn't out yet? Jesus.

    Maybe I should pick up the books again before it comes out. I'm sure I've forgotten many things.

    He may have spelled my name wrong, but I've got copies of the first four books in the series signed by George R. R. Martin. Mind blown. Best present ever.
