The story isn't done yet. We've already spent twelve hours watching this story unfold, might as well put in that last hour to see the final conclusion.

Well, to empathize with the LOTR fan in the analogy, it's also a bit like cutting out lots of really good key dialogue (zOMG Eowyn vanquishing the Witch-King, or just about anything with Faramir or Denethor) and leaving out a really important big chunk of the conclusion (Scouring of the Shire...*cries*), but taken to greater extremes, as DE(E)N is no Peter Jackson (who at least delivered amazing stuff anyway)...
