A shitty ending is still a shitty ending, no matter how long it took you to get there.
Pretty much.
That, and I honestly think the man's tired of the books. I think he'd rather go off and keep working on Wild Cards/the prehistory stuff, cause he's got too many threads going on to wrap it up in two books satisfactorily, so the show may actually be the only canon we have if his health gives.
Which would probably be the shittiest outcome of this whole thing, really, because I'm also of the mind that GRRM probably doesn't care about finishing the books anymore. But if that's the case, it's really unfair to book fans who have waited for so long only to get a very bad ending from a show adaptation that wasn't even closely following the narrative that he was spinning. idk, it's just a huge mess all around.
