All in here.
April 24th can't come too soon.
Thought this was quite funny.

And we are all up to the same place, show watchers and book readers are all unsullied

Make or break season for the producers of the show. I was a bit disappointed with a lot of the last two seasons.
Keep in mind that there is plenty that has happened in the books that the shows producers seem to have been holding back on. Although, yes, the bulk of the plot will be new.
Edit: I'm not one of those "the books are so much better" people, I've never read them. Doesn't stop my nerd friends from battering me with spoilers.
How long can this keep going for!? surely they have milked the cash cow so much already..
Time for some new ideas and shows. You can't keep relying on the same format.
There is a reason even the greatest shows (like Prison Break, X-Files, BB, Friends, LOST etc) eventually stopped. Because no matter how popular something is, there is a very limited shelf life. It is because people's attention span is for only so long..
I dont think its make or break at all, maybe for you it is, but series 5 was more widely watched than the others, the show has never been more popular and it also won an Emmy for best drama series.
As for what has been left out, it gives wonderful scope and possibilities for spin offs, I should imagine. I have book reading friends who have given me spoilers for years now as well, they are quite aloof and superior about it all, at how the show is ruining characters and plot lines, blissfully unaware they have been doing exactly that!!
Fucking tell me about it. Every time a film or TV adaption of a book comes out we have to go through book snobs telling us it's not as good as the books. Don't watch it then you tits!
Yeah, I suppose I can't really argue with the continually building popularity but they could alienate a large portion of the fans depending on which direction they take it. I'm not going to pretend I'm not excited though.
