My theory is he actually helped write the ending of the TV show, and when the fans absolutely despised it, realized he had to scrap his entire ending.

Yep, been saying this for years.

We know he told the show creators huge future plot points. That ending was the ending, it sucked, he’s embarrassed, the series will never be finished.

It was SO bad. My main issue was how they mangled my favorite characters.They made the only protagonist I liked a villain (well besides Margaery, rip). Made her die from the puppy dog Jon Snow, who helped cause BA Ygrittes death because he had no freaking spine. Total insult to my favorite characters.

I will not be reading the book if the ending is the same or similar, which is what brought me to the idea of him holding out because..it was probably the same.

I haven't watched the new show either, I'm waiting to make sure it's decent all the way through..if it's still running? lol.

House of Dragons was actually pretty good. Reminded me of the beginning of GOT. Not sure if it’s continuing, though. But at least it’s a prequel so the plot points are all already out there in his history prequel books.
