it better not have a happy ending... that would directly contradict every thing that has happened.

but honestly

you go north of the wall to capture a wight... and they don't attack you because the ice is breaking, in a place where you die from the cold? and someone runs all the way to the wall, sends a raven all the way across westeros, and 3 dragons fly back all the way across westeros and north of the wall. all in less than a days time? and they are all just sitting there because they could fall in the water?

that may be the shittiest piece of writing you could imagine. and they decide that okay now its time because the hound throws a rock that doesn't break the ice...

While we're playing that game, dragons and wights exist in the first place. Trying to analyze a TV show beyond it's entertainment purposes is futile.

It was a cool spectacle to witness IMO.

I'm just wondering how bad GRRM has to facepalm every episode now.

This is incorrect on a basic level.

The show still has to obey its internal logic. You're arguing a false equivalency. Fantasy elements =/= abandonment of logic. There were still wights and dragons when it took Jon and his group hours/days to arrive where they found their wight. There were still wights and dragons when the precedent for ravens taking more than a handful of hours to arrive at their destination was set. When the show abandons those precedents it is, indeed, a mistake that should be noted.

Ok time travel exists in GoT then. Make you feel better?

My comments were more directed at Millz trying to use physics to explain a fantasy show. Specifically about the ice and Jon not dying of hypothermia.


The fast travel could only be a mild pet peeve at most tho.

Nah.. her dream represents Jon Snow ruling hence the snow on the ground, her being dead, and the reason being is my lil homie Bran will get powerful enough to control the night king.
