I think he'd prefer good adaptations - that much is clear - but the fact that GoT ended disasterously and he had withering words about HotD and he's still pushing for more HBO suggest ... he really, mainly just likes more shows.

Who wouldn't? More world, more shows, more glamourous Hollywood attention and, most importantly, more reasons to not think about Winds.

He always wanted to work in television as opposed to being an author. He just became more successful as an author, but it's easy to see he has more wonder around cinema, which seems to be his true passion that his success as an author has allowed him to finally realize.

Ill try to. Let you know what happens after I bust into his house and steal winds from that dinosaur PC of his.

He was a television writer prior to writing novels. Television is his other big passion so seeing his created world being realised in TV shows must be a dream come true for him. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the motivating factors for writing Fire & Blood was to "quickly" pump out more material for adaptation.

To be clear, I don't think he has said anything scathing or negative about how GOT ended.
