According to GoT lore the older dragons get, the larger and more intense flames they can produce, and for longer durations. So their power sort of grows exponentially. Like Dany's aren't to the point they can melt castle walls and stuff yet.
Other random thoughts:
1. The Sand Snake chicks have been absolutely useless in every way this season. Outside of one flashing scene they haven't done squat. Unless they have some important role to play in the future not even sure why they were in the season, all they did was sit around talking, then have one really short, terrible fight and get caught.
2. It's clear they went a different direction this season in regards to the finale. Previous GoT seasons you had the big OMG stuff in episode 9, and episode 10 was sort of a wrap up. This year with so many story lines you had in effect 3 finales (8, 9, 10), each of which are less overall OMG than past singular episodes, but combined are more so. Episode 10 this year will almost certainly feature some major developments in King's Landing and perhaps something regarding Stannis/Boltons/Sansa/Brienne.
3. Sorta disappointed with the lack of nudity and sex scenes this season. If you rewatch the earlier seasons there's a lot more of it. I mean seasons 1 and 2 were absolutely epic. The only truly awesome, extended nude scene this year was Ramsey's side piece girl.
