The show is going to overtake the books. That's guaranteed at this point.
Just about.
Unless he gets out the next book within the next few months and it has enough content for atleast two seasons in it. And then he writes the last book in record time (For him).
But that's not likely.

They're pacing to match with Winds of Winter as much as possible.
For Dream of Spring, they'll have to figure stuff out...
The publisher only confirmed that it wasn't currently slated to come out in 2015.
George R.R. Martin announced that he had finished A Dance with Dragon's on April 27, 2011 and it released July 12, 2011.
"Tywin is harsh, brutal man, but he made a hell of leader."
He ordered mass rapes and murders. If he was so great a leader he wouldn't have been killed on the crapper because of his ignorance, evilness, and believing his own hubris.
I'm curious, Volourn, who do you think should sit upon the Iron Throne?
All the people I hate because then they'll likely be dead in short order. 
I don't really have a 'fave' for the throne because the entire fight for it is a joke. It's one of the least interesting parts of the show/book to me.
Holy Crap, Volourn out from the Abyss known as the codex. How did you escape?

He brought the Seven Kingdoms a golden age during his time as Hand under Aerys.

Agreed, the last 3 people who sat in that chair have been killed through pretty sly or dishonourable means, but to be fair, Aerys was about to kill half a million people. And Joffery was a ******.
P.S. I don't hate Stannis. I just believe he is overrated by his fanboys and I do not approve of religious freaks who mass murder people and are delusional thinking they are 'owed a crown' when the whole reason he's 'next in line' is because his brother took the throne from the 'rightful' king (good too): Talk about double standards. That is Stannis fanboys in a nutshell. L0L
Stannis isn't religious at all. He's actually a fairly secular king, and unlike Melisandre or Selyse (Stannis' wife) he never has any dialogue that indicates he is pious. In fact as Steelcan pointed out, he has dialogue that indicates the opposite. He embraces the religion of the Red God soley because of Melisandre's prophecy and the power she promises him. It represents an opportunity for him that the faith of the Seven didn't provide. He spells out the reason for his taking on the new faith in a conversation with Davos in the books:
"When I was a lad I found an injured goshawk and nursed her back to health. Proudwing, I named her. She would perch on my shoulder and flutter from room to room after me and take food from my hand, but she would not soar. Time and again I would take her hawking, but she never flew higher than the treetops. Robert called her Weakwing. He owned a gyrfalcon named Thunderclap who never missed her strike. One day our great-uncle Ser Harbert told me to try a different bird. I was making a fool of myself with Proudwing, he said, and he was right."
Stannis Baratheon turned away from the window, and the ghosts who moved upon the southern sea. "The Seven have never brought me so much as a sparrow. It is time I tried another hawk, Davos. A red hawk."
Just get to the f*cking point, it's starting to feel like a soap opera, especially after watching Vikings. I don't need any more scheming and Ceirsi drinking her wine and ******'s asses, just move the f*cking plot forward for god's sake.

Surprised this apparently hasn't been posted yet. New trailer.
Dany is just so cute when she gets all serious. I wanna give her a big hug.
Pretty much how I feel about the daenerys storyline after Drogo died to a T.
Aye, she needs to get the **** over to Westeros. Well she's not in a great position currently in the books to do that but still.
The television series will definitely conclude before Martin finishes the book series.
It will be interesting to see if the two diverge and have different endings.

They might change the ending for the sake of book readers, but it is HBO, so it's not likely.
ahhhh Dany thinks she's important, how adorable

Martin could always veer in another direction, since the last book will probably be released a decade (lol) after the final episode of the series.

Well we finally got some Stannis. And he's got a badass fur cape. Makes him look very regal.
He's growing his beard out too.
BAMF

I Give GOT all the crap it deserves.
But man.
Those sets and costumes are just breath taking.
Stuff that can easily rival LOTR.
And as the biggest ME fanboi around I don't say that lightly.

Uh...I think Steelcan would take issue with that lol
