so we were shootin the crap last night during the PPV fiasco and GoT came up (my cell rang and theme song is ring tone) and a friend of mine (conspiracy theorist lol) says he wouldnt doubt if HBO paid GRRM to hold off releasing his next book until HBO is done with the series.
It almost makes sense, Heres what we came up with
HBO finishes series in 2018
GRRM releases the next book with completely different ending
HBO starts a new series, maybe 2-3 seasons merging the 2 different story lines
hey, we were drinking moonshine and celebrating my buddies Birthday
