Agreed. Especially when you're sprinting to wrap up a hugely complicated story like this in two seasons. Once the books come out, we'll be glad they saved a lot of the setup and politicking for the books. We will also see that it will take at least 5 more seasons to wrap the show up the way grrm would've wanted it. The showrunners made a conscious decision to create showstopping big events and to sprint to an end, and even if that compromised some of the story's integrity, those things also outweigh the bad in many ways.
