They barely have enough time to focus on the primary ones at all.

It's hard to differentiate who the secondary characters and main characters are, because it seems that irrelevant people get more screentime than those that are supposed to be main characters. Up until Sunday, we hadn't seen Bran since like 1976.

Sansa, Bran, Theon, Davos, and Samwell are all fascinating, multi-dimensional characters who have changed significantly as the show has gone on (some to a greater extent than others). When you look at them, I just don't see this as a problem with GoT at all.

I haven't seen a ton of character development out of these people. Maybe it's coming. But it's certainly not anywhere near the extent of Jaime, Dan, or Tyrion. I mean, unless you count Reek. But if you wanted some real character development, you would have had him slit that idiot's throat while shaving him. That would have made the storyline seem worthwhile, but for now, it is rather boring. Maybe that's because I haven't read the books and don't know how it all ties together, but it seems largely irrelevant right now.
