While, I can't speak for Jericho or Flashforward, since I never watched them, I never once considered any time I spent watching "Rome", "Deadwood" or "Firefly" to be wasted. Was I disappointed that they were cancelled before their time and didn't get a chance to tell their full stories? Abso-fucking-lutely. The cancellation of "Firefly" killed a little of me inside, permanently.
But, all those shows were so great, even in their incomplete form, that I never once felt like I was "wasting" time while watching them. Hell, I've seen every episode of "Firefly" at least 3 times and most more than that. Never feel like I'm wasting time while I do it. I love them too much.
Same goes for Martin's books. I've read all 4 at least 4 times each. I love it. They fill me with great happiness. It will suck beyond belief and kill a part of me inside if he never finishes, but I still will cherish the time I spent in that world and with those characters. That is not time I consider "wasted".
Hopefully, the quality of the HBO series will make me feel the same.
