I was browsing Reddit and came upon some comment that claimed that Season 2 was originally meant to have 10 episodes but they had to cut it down to 8 due to a number of factors (including the writer's strike?). If true, it kind of makes sense why the finale we got felt like a bit of a letdown with a bunch of stuff to come. In a GoT season, we would've gotten an epic episode 9 after all that build up.
