I'm worried we're going to get something similar, where the show tries to honor GRRM's breadcrumb outline of an ending despite the fact that the characters in the show took on a new life beyond GRRM's ASOIAF.
We'll see.

Agreed. How I met your mother's finale was incredibly underrated. It was ruined by Ted and Robin's characters getting diluted for running a few seasons too long. But it also shows that much as people demand an unpredictable ending, they'll bitch when the ending isn't safe.
GoT may be rushing and hurrying to an ending. But at least they'll finish it. That's no small task.
