Episode 4 may feel very fillerish but it at least introduce new character Silica.
I don't think the return of Asuna alone justified 2 episodes even from my anime viewer perspective (but I may perhap bias). Making episode 2 or 3 into 2 parter is better time spent IMHO.

anime only viewer, and i mostly agree with this

- Establishing the kind of relationship that Kirito and Asuna have outside of life threatening scenarios.
Maybe there are others, maybe not, but I don't think it's a complete waste of time. |
plus, i would add, more infos about the game mechanics
it's still a build up, and personally i wouldn't mind at all if it continued like this till the end
the pace just slowed down from the previous episodes (where some people were whining about it being too fast), hope the next ones will come back fast as before
also this was quite a talky episode, lots of talking and explanations, which may not be satisfying if someone is watching it mostly for the action
