Game of Thrones: Eastwatch (2017)
Season 7, Episode 5
5/10
The difference between having source material and making TV show
15 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This episode along with this season and the last episodes of season 6 is the perfect example of when Script writers are left to their own imagination to write the story of a progressing series.

With the first seasons, we get to see amazing television show, with some of the most gripping and twisting story telling. The show showed us that every action has a repercussion. Ned Stark wanted to be noble and Honorable, got captured and killed, Rob betrayed Frey's and we know what happened to him.

But now that the show has surpassed the books, the writers are back to writing just typical television where the main characters are invulnerable from their stupid choices. Jaime rides against a dragon, and miraculously escapes not just the fire but capture as well. How does he swim underwater for miles while wearing chain mail, armor and his 20 pound hand? how did he not drown? or get caught by the dothraki? But fine, what about the easy way out that they show Little finger leading Arya? in the past it was done very subtle and not to in the audience face. If you didn't see it, well to bad you missed it. Now its "Hey, look at this. Do you like how we connect the dots for you?"

Why bother watching if everything is put on a plate for you? where the characters travel thousand miles in 5 minutes. Do you remember how first season, you would have 2 episodes of just Brann, and Arya and you are just waiting to see what happens to the others one, but they don't show everyone in the same episode? yeah me too.
