As a counter point, hasn't the poorly received TV show set a low bar to clear in terms of expectations?

Even if he doesn't write a great conclusion people could always say "well at least it was better than the TV series".

Disclaimer: I have not read or watched Game of Thrones yet.

What the other guy said plus: it's kind of an ego thing. Could you imagine writing one of the most prolific series in history and then when you finish it everyone is like "yeah well at least it was better than the show"

I just wouldn't write it if that's all I can expect out of my audience lol
