The current pacing is a bit jarring, but they need the major chess pieces to move now. They spent so much time with widespread and in depth character development previously in the show (which was amazing) that they forgot to advance the overall plot forward at times. Looking back I think they wasted a little too much screen time on certain things, like some of the Dorne and Daenerys plot lines...but I just think it is what it is now, they have to finally get the main plots lines moving.
