So who do we bet will still be alive by the end of the final episode? Snow, Tyrion, Dany and Arya?

Is it too late to pull out of my investment in the dragon horse-carrying platforms?

Are there any houses left in the north with any strength? Manderleys?

Seems like they are gonna get a rest while the rest of the storylines catch up.

Spoiler: show
According to GRRM's early 90s plot outline, yes.

He told the show runners all about the major plot points of all the major characters but the show diverged a lot from the books. You can't really say what is a show invention and what will happen in the books also. GRRM isn't involved with the show very much right now. I think the last time he wrote an episode was season 4.

I'm on Book 4 now and I wish HBO would have diverged from the books a lot sooner.

The first book is great, then it's rapidly diminishing returns. They're ok though.

Book 3 is mostly characters walking/riding and telling each other boring stories.

Book 3 is arguably the best in the series.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
