I think this season could have benefited from having an extra episode or two to focus on character development and decision-making, along with giving more breathing room between and leading up to the more action-orientated episodes.

I couldn’t agree more with this. I think the broad outline of what’s happened since they ran out of book material makes a lot of sense and I can see where Martin was going with it, but the race to the ending caused many characters to do contortions to serve the plot.

If You had shown me episode 5 “The Bells” back while I was watching season 1, I think I would have said: “Oh my God, that’s amazing, I can’t wait to see how they get to this moment.” The answer is, though, “They didn’t.” They didn’t get there, at least not for me.

That’s all to say and agree that I think we need more material. I don’t think they release many deleted scenes for the show, unfortunately, but hopefully the Blu-ray for this season with have something.
