I think at least some of it came from a sort of "adjustment" to doing the 11ep arc style. They went from being kind of all over the place in S2 (as far as flashbacks and who was getting developed) to trying to dedicate half the season to one, much more specific, storyline. The arc suffered a bit as they adjusted to the new style.
