Lost was another one that was in my mind--it's almost as though GRRM's first book was headed toward being a stand-alone, and then got unwieldy and then got completely out of hand. I would still like to see the implied conclusion, but not sure I'm up for re-reading some of the last book so far, which to me is the one that got most out of hand.
Heh--I made a comment on a fan board about hoping that the miniseries wouldn't turn out like the SyFY Wizard of Earthsea, and GRRM himself (or a minion pretending to be him, at least) answered that HBO was much better and would never do a thing like that. Let's hope!
