Me too. When Jordan died my first thought was not "damn, now I don't get to find out what happens!" It was great sadness for him because he didn't get to be the one to show us what happened. Maybe he had accepted what was happening and was at peace with it when he went, but I can't imagine he didn't pass with great sadness for what he might have done just the same. Now it's just a cheap insult to throw at writers based on their age. "You better not die on me, old man! I'm not done with you yet." I don't know how Martin manages to carry on with that kind of mentality being thrown at him and still manages to be gracious at all.
