Fair amount of stuff going on. Book readers have been waiting for 6th book for 5 years. Book narrative provides a lot of clues, potential paths, for sorting out future plot, and the author's slow writing process has allowed tons of time for careful readers to analyze and speculate. Google around, you'll be shocked.

The show has had to pick and choose which of the author's material to use -- we're talking about 5000 pages of content. And, they've used up a lot of source material. So, we're guessing what's next. For e.g., Jon's apparently dead in both books and show, what happens next...?

Pretty much what hola just said. It's been a long wait for book six, to put it calmly. I read the books before the show came out so for all these years I've been spoiled a little by that. All that time waiting to see Jon come back from the dead because when I first read that I had a shitfit, yelled out loud "omg nooo" and "goddamn GRRM better not die before he finishes this shit up right" (yes, that was kind of an asshole thingto say. I know. Lol). Oh, and then finally getting a little bit of hope that "Dany is figuring things out as she stumbles through the Dothraki Sea. She might be close to getting her shit together after all" followed by "ohh shiiiit, a khalasar headed by dude that hates her where the FUCK is Drogon? Dracarys, mfkers!"

Wasn't Drogon with her when the khalasar found her? In the books not the series.

Oh yea, you're right. Lol. I do that sometimes. When I think back on the story and there have been changes from the book to show sometimes I forget which version I'm recalling.

I'm just about to watch part 5 of The Minds of Wolves and Robins. I had no idea how facinating these would be or I definitely would have watched them sooner. Some of the theories are really mind-blowing. I like the way he thinks.

Ok, gonna watch 5 now. Apparently he's gonna talk about Sweetrobin. Lol can't wait.

Thanks again.

That's the one thing I don't like about Preston. If he's right about sweetrobin, that will be very poor storytelling IMO. Mostly by the showrunners rather than GRRM

I really think the kid dies in the next book though. Baelish needs Harry the Heir to marry Sansa. Then, once she kills Harry and Baelish, Sansa will use the Knights of the Vale to protect her child (by Harry), aka use them to conquer the seven kingdoms in either her son's name OR in the name of Jon Snow.

I actually have no idea what she'll do, but I see Sweetrobin being a major obstacle to Sansa becoming queen of westeros, which is what I fully expect to happen.

Yes I'd like a ruling from Sirken on this immediately. Do you still consider Preston tinfoily or just pure genius at this point? =)
