I think it is really hard to have meaningful progression to the individual storylines when they were all left kind of hanging last year. When you have either a cliffhanger or a major event, lets use Jon and Myrcella as examples, you can't expect major movement right away. Same could be said for literally every storyline. If they start off with major revelations with Jon people would be super pissed. If Dorne and the Lannisters instantly went to war people would be wondering WTF? You can't have a season ending battle in the first episode.
There needs to be some set up for the events that are going to happen. Honestly would anyone have been happy if Jorah and Daario found Dany right away? Or if Sansa just rolled up on some castle in the North and declared revenge on the Boltons?
