They are professional writers who understand stories —They understand that each of those two books told a complete story arc for each character. They HAD to do it in a season, because they had to tell each complete story arc within a season. Cutting the story arcs that GRRM told in AFFC and ADWD of LITERALLY every character in HALF would be a disaster both financially and artistically. It's not about impressive climaxes, it's not about "things happening"; it's about STORY ARCS. Some of you around here seem to care about the kind of plot and details most people don't give a damn about. D&D care about story and characters, and rightly so.

The drastic condensations to the Dorne storyline's "Plot" made it an exciting one-season "Story"?
