I've just become less and less convinced of GRRM's ability to bring this thing to a satisfactory conclusion. He just keeps spinning off new bullshit complications and plots that just stall things even more.
It's also why I think the HBO series will fizzle out before it reaches a conclusion. Audiences and critics are going to get impatient with it after this season. They're already impatient with this season. The Red Wedding, Joffrey's death, Tywin's death... those will tide people over for another season... but getting through the long slog of the next two books while maintaining a satisfied audience will be really difficult.

I think GRRM will be able to bring this to a good conclusion, provided he doesn't die first. It's a very complicated plot, but there's an interconnected-ness to all the different storylines that makes me feel he will be able to wrap everything up neatly.
I agree about the show. They're going to have to start cutting major portions of the books to keep people's interest.
