This wouldn't irk me so much had they actually shown her thinking it over across multiple episodes, but no, she goes all the way to KL, reaches the Red Keep and just turns away because Clegane says she's going to end up like him. At that point, Arya is already like him. She is a cold-blooded killer.

Jaime's 180 is no better. His character has grown from the cocky Lannisters4ever dude to actually understand how screwed up his family is. And his switch happens within two episodes, with very little dialogue. Best part is when he tells Tyrion that he has never cared about the people, innocent or otherwise. That's directly at odds with him telling Brienne why he killed the Mad King back in season 3 or 4; to save not only Tywin, but also the people of KL.
Yeah they're all pretty much the same in that regard. Even the sainted Eddard Stark lopped off some poor sods head in the first episode.

It's all so very rushed.
That's the feeling I get as well.
