I don't think there is enough material to do 10 seasons.

4 or 5 seasons yes, but 10 no.
I actually disagree with you there.
To me, the show actually feels quite compressed compared to the books. Lots is being left out.

The books easily have enough content to be 2 seasons per book.
But I think budgeting is the issue.
They just don't have the budget to show that many battles, that many fights and that much awesome.


Robb on the battlefield with Grey Wind is skipped.
Arya escaping from Harrenhal would have been epic.
But was never filmed.

I think content in the show is added to bring some emotion to the viewer.
Edmure isn't such a prat.
Jeyne doesn't play such a big part.
