Editor-ectomy or 'editorial override'
Authors can fall in love with their own work and become very self-indulgent...and lose sight of what they're really doing/writing. And then have enough clout to defy people.
Their work can suffer (honestly I look at star wars episodes 1-3 the same way, Lucas with billions and no one able to rein him in)
I think, ultimately, HBO has and will keep editorial control and the tv show stands to be far more concise and better paced than the books.
