Maybe it's not as big as a suprise as you'd think. LoK was only going to be 12 episodes before Nick commissioned more, so they'd have to work within that time-frame.

The first 2 eps are fairly fast-paced compared to LoA's premiere, because a) they have an established viewership already and don't need to use a lot of time expaining the Avatar world in great detail, just the changes that we need to know, and b) even though LoA was originally only commissioned for the first season too, LoK Book: Air has 8 less episodes to work with and needs to focus on the plot.
