My point is that the way the story is being told isn't doing any favors for the show. While interrupting a buildup of tension might work to a degree in a written medium, it's very deflating in 30-minute episodes. If this were an original work, the creators would have been careful to let the audience know the stakes before ramping up the action so that there isn't a huge lull of inactivity after we learn that BIG THINGS are on the line. Over-faithfulness to an original work can harm an adaptation, and that's what's happening here.

Just let the series build back up again, I'm sure the final episodes will be just as action-packed as 4 and 5 were.

I'm not worried about the action building up again - this show is proceeding pretty much as I expected.
