How do you think they'll work with AFfC and DwD? They focus on different PoV's throughout each book so I'm wondering if they'll split the books down the middle and merge or keep the separate books running in different seasons. I'm not sure if there's been any speculation on this or if GRRM has said anything.

I'm thinking they might be better off merging halves of the books together because, for some reason, I simply don't trust viewers to understand that their favorite characters will come back next season so they should suffer through if they don't like the people they're following. And let's just hope that season 4 isn't the same quality as AFfC.
