great...when the murder hornets drive us into the water, the sharks will be waiting. Sounds like the plot of Sharknado 7

No kidding, now all they need is laser beams attached to their heads

Sounds like the writers are struggling to write an ending for the coronavirus story arc after largely completing the "Republicans try to undermine democracy" arc. There was that abandoned murder hornet plot line and this feels like another example.

These guys?

Exactly. Though, in this case, running out of George RR Martin source material might be a good thing for us.

I'm afraid the ending by D&D is the only ending we'll ever have. Martin is old, and doesn't look to be in such great health. And with Covid...

I wish he'd reconsider letting another great writer finish his work if/when he's too unwell to continue.

I hope you're wrong but I suspect you're right. I think we'll get the next book, but unless he's been working on both the final two books concurrently, the last book feels out of reach.
