Of course, the creators are better with 13. They can put more money into an episode and get their artistic vision the way they like it. They also don't have to dilute the story down to stupid bullshit plotlines that are just filler.

LOST was very guilty of that. That story could have been so tight if it was made up of 12 episode seasons.
Yeah I have read a bunch of stuff recently about them wanting to cut costs and causing issues. I can understand them wanting to keep costs in check, but it comes off like they are having some serious financial issues at AMC. It isn't like these are obscure shows that nobody is watching, these are shows that get good ratings and must be making them some nice cash, but they seem hellbent on messing it up.
