One of the hallmarks of the series is how major characters can just die, leaving unfinished business, because that's what happens in real life. What if that's what GRRM's going for? He starts the series, then dies, leaving it unfinished. Because sometimes you just die and your story is never finished.
Only he lived much longer than he expected, so he's had to write slower and slower, and start other projects like Fire and Blood, because actually finishing the series would be the antithesis of what it's all about.
It's genius. Genius, I tell you!
then why would he tell the producers of the show how it ends?
