If they did 10 episodes they could really take their time and make Dany's turn a lot more believable,
Ep-1 same as what we got, introductions, reunions etc
Ep 2-4 preparation for the Great War, can cover it in more detail, Last Hearth takeover, bit more from Bran, Bit more time on Jon's heritage and Dany's reaction, Theon and Yara can take more time, Meilssandre back east?? Start to really lay the foundation of Dany's turn.
Would be nice to get a very brief scene or 2 letting us know what's happening in the other 6 kingdoms, not inc the North or KL, which Westeros has been reduced to. I know this is primarily a Stark/Lannister/Targaryen story and that's what we're getting but nothing from the rest of Westeros is plain odd.
Ep 5 Battle of Winterfell, feature length
Ep 6 Aftermath of epic battle, characters talk to each other about it, what's the reaction to Arya killing NK??, Jon and Dany console each other.
Ep 7-8 The journey south, lets see the other 6 kingdoms come back in, major drama between Jon and Dany as the other Kingdoms learn about Jon. Believable way for Rhaegal to get taken down. Arya and Hound on the road again, could we just have had a little of Arya/Hound dammit. Skirmishes vs Lannisters/GC as they approach KL. What's Bran and Sansa up to? Sam? Loads more time for Varys scheming.
The finale 9-10, or what we're getting for 5-6. Except not rushed.
