It's funny though - I've started re-watching it and it's kinda shocking how far they go in each season.
I mean Bran's shooting arrows in Episode one and by Episode 5 the entire Stark clan is imprisoned, crippled or at war. Poor Jory Cassel didn't even survive halfway through the season.
Things move just a little faster than we remember.
And the worst parts of the entire show were some of those middle seasons where shit was interminable.
I agree that some of the pacing concerns are legitimate, but at least to a degree we ought be careful what we wish for. Some of what we THINK we remember isn't quite the way we remembered it and some of the things we want now we actually hated when they struggled to walk that line.
