I see where you're coming from, I however quite dislike most contemplation on the far future.
I tend to try and finish something, then come up with question that probably won't be answered.
My main problem with this is that there are so many places for more characters to pop up.
In a series in which each book is 1000+ pages long, a question like this seems so silly.
I guess you can say that I am quite heavily Team Unknown.
