Thought I would share a couple things:

Here is some info on AGOT beyond season 6. I think we might be past the point of showrunners planning to include TWOW content (whenever released).

And, HBO will have a new show to discuss each episode afterward. It will be hosted by Greenwald and Ryan from the defunct Grantland site. They have not read the books, so they approach each episode as TV critics. They're pretty interesting and they're Grantland schtick was pretty funny.
Meh when an HBO shows season length is cut short, even if "intentional", its means the writing wasn't there to support it.

See another popular HBO primetime series True Detective.

TD season 1, stellar amazing. TD season 2, was shorted by 2 episodes, saw very weird writing and barely passable as a primetime show with weird endings.

See another popular HBO primetime series Boardwalk Empire.

The season before the final season was passable enough. The final season was cut short by 3-4 episodes and the characters were completely unbelievable in their actions and behavior severing any emotional attachment, against a wrapup plot that was completely transparent.

So. Are you ready for some Lord of Light resurrection? Kidding, I think this season will be stellar.
