Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

I've heard rumors that he might go as far as four more books with all the content he is creating. no link, just talk amongst friends

He needs to write down the cliffs-notes version of the ending so that when he goes all Robert Jordan on the series and just refuses to wrap the damn thing up, he can die and someone can finally come in and finish the job.

Martin already said he wouldn't let anyone else finish his story. If he croaks we are all screwed. And a man that size and age can go anytime.

Mostly, anyway. He mentioned on Conan that he's shared the major plot points he has in mind with the show directors, so at least SOMEONE else out there knows how it ends.

This is a good thing to know. I was wondering if they were pigeon holing themselves into certain things by changing aspects from the book to the story such as them killing Jeyne in the show. I guess I know where that character is headed in the book now.

He sure seems to be the logical 'Stark at Winterfell'. Then again, the whole damn thing could simply fall apart at this point. Speculation seems pretty pointless when the guy has made it clear that he's willing to flip the entire thing on its ear whenever he eats a bad clam or something.

The first episode of the series isn't that great because it has to introduce everybody. The second episode is much better.

The last episode has been a springboard to set up the next season each time now, so no big surprise. Still some meaty scenes. I enjoyed it, although the very ending with Danarys was a bit over dramatic IMO.
