Just make it smart and interesting. Give the characters some intelligence, and keep things semi-consistent in the world. It does feel rushed, but we've had 1.5 episodes of limited time devoted to pure exposition in this season - exposition that would've been used to explore motivations, build characters, and foreshadow plots in previous seasons - instead we have drinking games and deus ex machina. It doesn't need to feel - or be - nearly as rushed as it is. Not to mention, the writers decided to cut away from Jon's big reveal to Sansa and Arya. FFS - these are your protagonists doing something very important. Sansa then breaks her promise to Jon in the next two minutes.

This is exactly why I felt the first 2 episodes of the season were such a waste. Ecspecially since no one really died during the BoW. Now we’re on a rushed pace and things don’t make sense. But hey we got 40 minutes of them sitting round a fire giving a bunch of fan service
