For me, Clive, its gone the way of the Star Wars prequel (and to some extent sequels)
"Hey" says George Lucas, "People love Jedi's and lighsabres, so, wouldn't it be cool to see the best Jedi, Yoda, having a lazer sword fight!" (even though this goes against the entire established physical and mental characteristics of Yoda established in ESB & RotJ)
and the desire to cram into the sequels everything that anyone ever associated with Star Wars iconic moments (Star Destroyer, crashed on Tattoine, Millenium Falcon, AT-AT etc)
GOT S7E6 might as well have had Jon fall into the ice hole, with a hundred baddies clawing at him, only for him to ping out on waterskiis and leap over a Great Wight Shark.
Jon isn't going to die in this episode, not when they've gone to such lengths to keep him alive. Ditto Tormund, Jorah, and the other ones. Them f**king flame swords are getting a bit lightsabrey too, they love to crack that effect out again and again.
If you've not already seen the Plinkett Star Wars prequel reviews, I can vouch for them. Devestating critique of storytelling, scripting and film-making when those in control lose control and sight of what made the story compelling in the first place.
