I am totally aligned with you but I find it is what I want which is why I am concerned as the show had not been hesitant to not care about what the fans want! I remember when they announced the delay I was so disappointed and then learning that there will be less episodes as well is awful! But happy that Winter is here!

LOL, yeah pretty much the only time I'm happy about the winter. And I feel the same. Throughout all the seasons of Game of Thrones, I started to prevent myself from liking too many characters because they always died! Except for Geoffrey of course, he had it coming and I did NOT see that coming. It was a nice surprise :) So as you said: it's what I want, but I am even careful to think it out loud out of fear of Martin 'hearing' it and changing things just to spite me lol. However, on the other hand, Tyrion was supposed to be dead a few times and is still around, so maybe the author also has his favourites. Funny enough, I hated Jamie in the beginning, but warmed up to him now, so I wouldn't even mind him sticking around 'hanging' around the throne.
