i think there has been too much to quickly too .... In the first season, we basically had Ned's beheading .... that was it. 2nd series we had the siege of Kings landing ... that was it ... and so on

There has been much to much mind draining action to take in in the last 3 episodes all of which were feature length .... That should have been 3 more series. I think the production and writing are as good as always, it's just been squashed into too small a box to remain balanced and coherent.
