Clear difference between rushed and fast paced

Just thought i would adjust a common criticism of this season which is that it is "rushed." The word i would more use for this season is "fast paced." Rushed kind of implies that the creators lessened the quality to push the product out the door, but that just isn't true! What really is happenening is that every character has so much going on that they have to skip a lot of the explainy exposition scenes. Every thing the characters have done (except blackbeard deciding to board) has been explained if you pay close enough attention. The show will also make much more sense the longer the season goes since each episode they talk about what happened in previous ones. Just my thoughts feel free to disagree.
