Yeah but at this rate the show will catch up with the books

Or it will put pressure on GRRM to write the last two books faster!

Just a note: the 3rd book will be split up into 2 seasons, so that gives GRRM another year for the last books.

Perhaps. But still

I like that they can renew it early in the season...gives them time to wrap stuff up. or are they done taping s2? I'm not up on that stuff.

I think they are completely done with season two. I believe principal photography ended in December

im worried about that but im hoping he will get books 6&7 done a bit quicker now he knows the show has been such a hit.

[Skydiver]

let's hope. However he's writing one of the season 3 episodes, #6 or 7 i think

Hopefully. Though I imagine that for (at least) books 4 and 5, they'll probably try to intertwine the stories of both books instead of doing the geographical separation thing. I imagine it would make that part of the story take at least two seasons/years, if not more.

Just a note: the 3rd book will be split up into 2 seasons, so that gives GRRM another year for the last books.

That's a rumour, nobody has confirmed any such thing.
