Not sure if they will capture Jaime, he need to not drown first with all the armor on.

I get the complaints about the overall loss of time and space on the show the last couple of years - but I agree it's due more to the hard deadlines than anything in the show itself. When we were in Season 1 or 2, the show was much less complicated, from that standpoint, and the episodes could show more of the travel itself (think King Robert and Eddard going back to King's landing).
They're simply running out of time, and a lot of things have to be accomplished quickly. We are literally down to 9 episodes left for the entire series, and the fight with the White Walkers hasn't even begun. The entire show has been predicated on that eventual showdown, and I am afraid we are going to be left with something a lot less satisfying than it could have been as a result.
The agreement should have been for the requisite number of seasons needed to tell the story properly. It will be interesting to see how the last three episodes of this season unfold....the HBO chief even said that the last season could debut in
2019...sigh.
