Another change is that in previous seasons, small events would have huge consequences. Ned confronting Cersei and offering her the chance to flee out of concern for her children ended up basically ending his house.

This season (until the leaked episode) was huge events with non-existent consequences. Giant battles (Casterly Rock, Highgarden, Drogon attacking Lannisters) that don't seem to change the overall situation. Dany is still vastly more powerful than her enemy but is reluctant to attack any city. Cersei is still plotting while hiding in the Red Keep. Littlefinger is still plotting in Winterfell. Everything is the same at the end of episode 5 as it was in episode 1.
