But instead of joining the r/freefolk and r/gameofthrones mobs out for D&D's heads, I'm more pissed at GRRM for dragging his feet taking on all sorts of side projects to be picked up for more shows instead finishing his main work.

 The drop off was very apparent once they ran out of books to go by. I really feel like D&D thought that they would at least have TWoW to go off of, if not more. They aren't book writers. They're TV producers/writers/directors. Imagine if Peter Jackson had to finish Return of the King himself after basing The Two Towers off of Tolkien's work. 

D&D obviously know where GoT needs to get to. But they don't have the how it gets there that GRRM was supposed to provide, and the quality has certainly suffered.

Benioff actually is a novelist... lol, but yea they're far more known for their screen writing and I think that's 100% fair. GRRM should have finished it instead of Fire & Blood.
