ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[holahouze]

I think we agree to some extent re: the showrunners dilemma. OTH, there was ample material in 4 & 5 for them to build out show season 5. Aegon/Connington, for e.g. King's Moot/Euron/Victorian, etc. for another example. These appeared to be significant storylines, amirite? Are the showrunners skipping these? Appears so. This is both interesting and concerning. Did the showrunners decide to axe it on their own? Or, did Martin tell them they wouldn't count for much at the end??
