They're actual altered beasts, and, as George hasn't managed to accomplishment his book alternation yet, we can't anon analyze them (yet!).
But what we can do is analyze the appearance aback it was afterward the antecedent actual (up to division five), to aback it went off-book (season six / seven) – and there are BIG differences, and not all for the best.

Fans accept been black about a lot of actuality this season. They've complained about the 'teleportation' – characters absolutely do assume to move about a lot quicker than they already did – and the credible abridgement of consequences...

In division seven, Jaime aboveboard answerable a dragon and got… agape into an impossibly abysmal river and survived drowning admitting actuality clad in actively abundant armour.
Then there's the preposterously bad plans. How about demography an apparent Tyrion Lannister to King's Landing (full of bodies who appetite to annihilate him) on a rowboat to accept abstruse affair with Jaime (who ability appetite to annihilate him)?

(Though, aback it comes to these, we're activity to delay until the afterpiece afore we add our contributions to the complaint box – we accept a activity these elements are allotment of a bigger end game.)
Still, all of these shortcuts booty abroad from the show's faculty of believability. Yes, yes, we know, it consistently had zombies, dragons, giants and magic, but Bold of Thrones' accomplishments of these all-encompassing fantasy tropes is a huge allotment of its success.

Season seven is about Fast & Furious with dragons instead of cars. It's all the characters you best love, advancing calm to booty allotment in crazy set-pieces or to occasionally bandy fan-service abundant curve of dialogue. It's ridiculously entertaining, but feels a little bit hollow.
The over-simplification seeds buried in division six are blooming in division seven. George's intricately advised fantasy ball has become article that's bisected soap opera and bisected summer blockbuster.
