I wouldnāt mind them wrapping it up. Itās been 6 years, much longer for the actors than for us. The last two episodes made HUGE strides in making all of the stories converge. Iām sure Season 7 will be resolution for the Iron Throne and then Season 8 resolution with the White Walkers. Donezo.

Yup. And, conveniently, wrapping up the series just as they pass the books: they have no more source material to draw from.
I was being more snarky than anything but I really do wonder how much not having the novels anymore (yes, I know that actually started this season) or not having to have to cover plotlines has to do with it. Not much, Iām sure.
Also, GRRM has mentioned that he wants HBO to do a Tales of Dunk and Egg film(s).

I thought GRRM told the HBO writers how he plans to end the story, and that it was up to them on how to get there?

Heās still consulting on the show, itās just a matter of the details - that belongs to D&D.
I think thereās enough source material and show that they have a layout and way, that they will continue to do it. So far, D&D have done a terrific job of calling back to previous elements. Even Season 6 was awesome despite surpassing the books.

I agree season 6 was awesome.
Aryaās egress from Braavos was the only glaring fault, in my opinion. Whoever was responsible for that deserves a kick in the glands.

That definitely could have been handled better, specially with her last scene transpired.
Could have arrived at the same destination via a different version of storytelling.

Season 7: The Battle for Kingās Landing
Season 8: The Battle for Survival against The Nightās King
Done.
Rumor was about 13 - 15 episodes left, right?

The Battle for Kingās Landing? You mean Cersei getting the everloving snot beat out of her? Thatās episode one, then we can move on.
I swear, sheās got nothing left. Itāll be the Lannister and maybe Frey armies versus the Dornish, the Tyrells, the Dothraki, the Unsullied, the rogue Ironborn, and three huge dragons?
