I just read where they confirmed the next 2 seasons will be short. There's probably only between 13-15 episodes worth of stuff left.

As I said earlier, everything between now and the dragons frying some white walkers is basically filler, right?

I'd prefer they keep the story focused and driven rather than throwing in unnecessary time wasters for the sake of 20 more episodes.

Really though, it helps to break the ice.

Anyway, I felt let down at the end, and not that it wasn't well done, that is just the feeling I had. I have no good reason for it. Maybe this season just seemed to go by too quickly.

And I wanted to see Davos kill the witch (with boobs for who cares why).

Character reviews:

Davos: fucking spot on. Easily a favorite.

Jon: stop brooding, it gets old

Stansa: stop being so stoic, I can't even see you as real

Dany: we get it, you only stare off in the distance. Do you have vision problems?

Tyrion: again, spot on. He owns this show.

Arya: why are you here?

It's obvious that a large amount of time passes on Varys' journey. He leaves Mereen and sails for Sunspear in the same amount of time Olenna leaves Kings Landing and travels overland by carriage to Sunspear. Olenna has also presumably been in High Garden for some time to get word of Mace, Marge, and Loras, all before even receiving the summons from Elia. Varys secures the allegiance of House Martell, House Tyrell, and both fleets, sails back to Mereen, where all of them, plus the Greyjoys finally set sail. Months must have passed just between the scene of Daario telling Dany he's seen the people begin painting the sails, and the following scene when Dany is on the water.

What is not believable here though isn't the travel (or the editing), rather it's the logistics of cleaning up Slavers Bay after the boats in the harbor were torched by the Sons of the Harpy, then the battle in the Bay where the dragons torched several more. That cleanup would take YEARS given their technology.

Littlefinger going from the Vale, to Molestown, then back to the Vale, then to Winterfell is a reach. He's obviously got a Hearthstone or using Fast Travel.

Also, if Euron has one fucking boat that'll be a stretch, seeing as how he basically shows up out of the blue, murders a king, hijacks the Kingsmoot, then orders everyone to commit to backbreaking labor for the next several years... And I don't recall seeing even one tree on the Iron Islands in all those wide shots. Where are the Iron Born getting all this lumber, considering they don't trade and they don't sow?

Nice analysis. As for the Ironborn lumber, mightn't it come from all the reaving?

Wasn't the whole thing that the Vale had part of an army at Moat Cailen, which is presumably where Littlefinger would have gone to, which is much closer to Winterfell and Molestown? Of course, assuming that is valid, which the show made of point of stating, you then have to wonder why Ramsey Bolton wasn't aware of it from the start.

Even still, the north is HUGE.... and Moat Cailen and Winterfell are not remotely close to each other.
