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

I also want to see a spin off involving Pod, the Hound, Bronn, Tormund and Brienne.

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.
