The other issue here is Martin's books. If a new one isn't done in the next, say, three years the show will have run out of material to adapt. And while it's probably a good bet that Martin will get the next novel, Winds of Winter, out by then, he still has the final book to work on afterward. As a failsafe, Martin did tell Weiss and Benioff his overall plan for the story, but has also expressed that he'd be displeased if the show went on ahead of the books. "I don't think I'd be happy with that," Martin told EW.

What an ass. WTF does he expect the producers to do? They can't just sit on a TV series for a few years while his old ass tinkers with the books. Sadly, I can't fathom he finishes the 7th book before the TV show catches up to him given his current rate of book releases. Martin is delusional if he thinks tiding us over with prequels and this "Hedge Knight" story is going to fly -- especially if it results in losing some of the current GoT actors.
