I try to keep the two as separate as possible, but I’d be lying if I said I found that easy. The biggest thing for me is faces, I really struggle to envisage the characters how they’re written in the book rather than how they look on the screen.

I’m with you, I don’t think he finishes the main series, but (and this is where I think we differ) I’ve found so much joy and interest in the rest of the world, the stories and even the lore around all of it that i can’t consider it a waste of time.
I absolutely love YouTube deel-dives about the characters and the world, I’ve spent hours looking over the maps and even more time reading Martin’s work in the form of Fire and Blood, AKOTSK and the larger reference type books that have come out since Winds was released.
I’m re-reading the main series right now, and whilst I’m fairly confident there’s no pay off I find being in that world, and reading those words to be gift enough to continue with it.
