To me, wrapping up every thread is actually unbelievable. Life doesn't stop because a book ends, so why should I see an end to a representation of life from a book? Unresolved issues, unanswered questions, and the knowledge that a character's life continues beyond the capacity for the book to detail or the reader to comprehend is far more believable than every thread being neatly tied off just because the author demands it.Given GRRM's slavish devotion to the natural flow and ebb of the story and its characters, I think I'd actually be disappointed if he DIDN'T leave us all wondering what the fate of Westeros was.Don't they run seasons on cable networks a second time before the next season begins? I remember reading that they tend to place great value on these second runs because the first run generates interest and the second is what they use to determine the series' potential.Regardless, buy the DVD! Ooh... I wonder if they'll do a BR version.</blockquote>
