I think it would be an audacious move if they pulled a reverse-Whedon and went to a “monster of the week format” for the final season after being heavily serialized before that.

I'm still so happy the GoT runners flubbed the last two seasons so badly they got their Civil War show shut down. It had strong "all the worst people liking it waaaay too much" vibes.

He's like 5 years overdue on this book and there are supposed to be several more, and he's already 73 so even if he finishes this one the fans will definitely get blue balled unless he's doing the Robert Jordan thing

If not hope he's coherent long enough to destroy his notes or we're gonna get a SpiceQueens of Dune level finish to the books.

Or his kids will edit his notes and release a bunch of unconnected stories Tolkien style.

600 pages about the history of the Giant tribes north of the wall where they're all just clear references to mid 2000's NY Giants players.

I read the most recent GoT book back when it came out and thought it was a goddamn train wreck, introducing a bunch of thoroughly uninteresting brand new characters and plot lines for no apparent reason, even if he wraps the series can’t imagine GRRM suddenly returns to early-book form now

he collects lord of the rings minis and runs a town theater in the new mexico town he lives in now, he's got gobs of money and probably just can't be assed to do work any more and if I were him I'd probably feel exactly the same like GRRM was always infamous for being willing to kill major protagonists in his books, long before he wrote the song of ice and fire series; having him die in the middle of his own story and leaving everyone shocked and upset is the ultimate realization of that habit and it's kind of perfect.

On the contrary, I think most everyone expects him to die before the next book is released at this point.

Much like how, in game of thrones, by the last season pretty much everyone expected every major character to die, and it was more of a surprise how many survived (it was because the show had run entirely ahead of any input by GRRM at that point, lol).

I can’t really blame him for realizing he’s got it good and just doing his own thing. Now I want to go back to Santa Fe

Chances of GRRM publishing Winds of Winter I put around 20%, and I'm being pretty generous. Chances he publishes the last book are under 1%. He always talked about writing the books like he was a gardener, but he sucks at that because new, unneeded characters popped up like weeds.

Stories don't end, there's constantly a new influx of players in the game, and there's going to be untold wreckage left behind after all the bullshit happens from the events of the series. I kinda like that the next crisis is just being setup a decade or two down the line by happenstance of what the characters do to resolve the current messes. Of course the last season of the show takes a big ol' dumper on that idea, but hey.

Anyway, speaking of tv series, why the hell is there a Slippin' Jimmy animated series? Who was asking for this, why is this so awful? Who wants Saul Goodman, but he's Dennis the Menace? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9MMVZU1sOM

I did shrooms Friday night. The peak was incredible but the comedown was decent too. Partner was vomiting her guts out downstairs and went to sleep. I ended up walking around upstairs for two hours just like occasionally eating an olive, drinking a pbr, and listening to the national. Every now and then I’d say “wild.” Anyway for whatever reason I feel like I “understand” jack nicholson now and I cannot get that thought out of my head.

Yeah, this isn't a Kentaro Miura/Berserk situation where it'll be sudden and shocking, it's going to be everyone going "welp, knew that was coming." Although if Elden Ring ends up being the last thing GRRM works on, it won't be a bad note to go out on (even if his contribution to it was minor at best)

I’ve done shrooms three times and never tripped, so apparently my friends got cremini mushrooms or something those times  Last night however I had a couple extra Vicodin because I had nothing to do but lay on the couch and try not to be in pain and it was great

Only difference is there is a train line that goes right there, but driving from downtown Chicago to Arlington is like 40 minutes without traffic.
