I read one of Martin's SciFi stories some years ago, and i have to say i was less than delighted by his "Tuf" character and story telling.  |
GRRM told them how the story ends and gave some pointers as to what happens along the way. That's what D&D had to work with. Now, they aren't wholly bad at writing, there are a lot of stuff in the show that isn't in the books; off the top of my head, the Arya & Tywin scenes at Harrenhall are show only. It's just that they really seem to want to end the show quickly.

I've heard HBO offered to fund a 10 episode last season, but it was D&D who turned it down. Not sure if that's confirmed, but it would makes sense from business perspective to keep the show going for a little longer.
