I thought the plot armor problem started in season 7 when they went beyond the wall to get a wight (and this entire premise was stupid).
In the most recent episode, there was no suspense in watching Arya escape from the fire. We all knew she wasn't going to die.
This season was kind of doomed before it even started. There just weren't enough episodes to get it all done well. This is D & D's fault, because HBO offered them more episodes and money to get more done. They rejected the offer because they wanted to work on other things.
I'm scared of what they're going to do to Star Wars. That franchise has already taken enough of a hit.

The point of the shot following Arya was not that she was going to die, it was to show the horror on the ground. It is easier to have the viewer invested and impacted when following a character, as compared to just a smorgasbord of shots.
