... boy oh boy, is season four slow.

Why the directors believed it would benefit the show to significantly extend the durations and the run times of the episodes without actually packing more content into them is beyond me.

Season four episodes could also have been told in half their run time at most without losing any information or mood in my opinion.

For me, episode four was only bearable at 1.5x speed - too bad Netflix still doesn't allow this option on the TV.
