Actually that dungeon meeting shouldn't be aired until next weeks episode. I don't get why they used it so early.
The pacing of SAO is good. SAO is completely different Accel World. Its true Accel World has more fights, but in SAO character development is more important. Thats the reason why they've been using the side stories to develop characters. I admit changing the way Asuna and Kirito met is a lowblow to novel readers but anime does that all the time. Like I've mentioned time and time again a anime is to draw the attention of anime watchers not exactly novel readers. Its to gain attention for the original source material.
