The only thing I noticed that was unique this season is...It might cater to a bit of fan service now, but I loved the Frey massacre all the same.

Due to the change of content (i.e. no more source material), the show seems more modernized in the sense that what I expect to happen happens, an all too common trope amongst current TV writers. Arya killing ALL the Frey leaders? Lol, way over the top, even for her character, and a level of vengeance unbefitting her character. Soap opera derived conflict in Winterfell? G.R.Martin stared clear of that train wreck of a trope. Each side aligning just perfectly? Lol, yeah right, would never happen in the cannon universe. The writers may be excellent at writing for TV, but their story telling is decades, maybe centuries old. I'm sure it will have a pleasant ending, but it's lost its GoT charm and luster in my opinion. Still, I'm very excited about tonight's episode so, I suppose this means they're doing their job.
