I took it as Littlefinger saying Brienne was honor bound to protect Sansa and Arya. I thought Sansa sent Brienne away so she could not protect Arya.
The north is already upset that Jon has been gone so long and may start seeing Sansa as their Queen. Sansa pointed out she had 100s of men willing to behead Littlefinger if need be. Is she thinking those 100s might be willing to do that to Arya if she needed them to or could she be counting on Littlefinger to do in an unprotected Arya. It's obvious Sansa likes the idea of being Queen of the North even though she originally turned it down in favor of Jon. |

Of course, Its very well possible are doing this as a show. Playing mind games to beat Littlefinger at his own game.

Whether she wants the throne over everything else is yet to be seen. |

We get that you have an issue with it, but why do you keep watching a show and complaining about something that happens in it every week?

I don't watch every Game of Thrones episodes expecting travel stuff to stand out. It did in particular in this episode. So it's worth commenting, given the circumstances specific to this episode.

The show has always had "time warp" issues, arguably out of sheer necessity. The show has not always had "time travel" issues. These, along with the fairly massive change in show pacing, obviously rankle some viewers, myself included.

I think the enmity between Sansa and Arya is real, but I think Sansa was testing Littlefinger when she asked for his advice in distress. This is definitely speculation, but I think she suspected he was involved in Arya finding the letter and she wanted him to expose what his next step of manipulation would be. The north is already upset that Jon has been gone so long and may start seeing Sansa as their Queen. Sansa pointed out she had 100s of men willing to behead Littlefinger if need be.

I mean if you want to argue where they can get water from, you fucking use a fire sword, melt the INFINITE ICE AND SNOW, and drink it. For food, speed, distance, not saying hi to Winterfell on the way back (or at least sending a raven to apprise them of the current situation), lack of contemplation from Jon on WTF Benjen was doing there after the fact, and Theon arriving at Dragonstone two episodes ago with nothing to do but twiddle his di-his thumbs, yeah I don't know. Oh and couldn't they have brought some more Dragonglass weapons with them from that mining phase? Seems like only one or two guys had the appropriate weapons to be there.
Also I'm surprised there's not more people here pissed at Tyrion for advising Dany to sit on her ass and let her A team get killed. I enjoyed the ep, but now that I'm thinking about it, all this stuff is coming to mind. Fucking internet. :lol: |

100%. The rationale is simply silly. Of course there is time warping in the TV show. There has to be. But the show has never felt so rushed before. If this were the lone issue, it would be easily forgiven and overlooked. But sprinkle in some really questionable writing, plot points that just make no sense at all and/or simply serve as awkward filler while we wait for the real plot to happen at that location, and actual impossible time travel elements and even some of the most ardent fans of the show are going to be left scratching their heads.

Also, wearing zero face-protection, Danny's face should've frozen off considering she's flying up in the air, fast, through sub-freezing temperatures. She's impervious to fire, not cold.

The show has been like this since the beginning. The only reason people are bitching now is because the main characters are actually interacting with each other instead of all wandering around on their own paths. Before you'd have Dany doing one thing and Jon doing another and since they had zero interaction, it didn't stick oUT. But now when Dany does something that connects with Jon, everyone's trying to line up the timelines perfectly. They are still taking a long time. My assumption is that they were on that rock for several days. I didn't need to watch the sun rise and set multiple times to know that. |

As far as the not wearing hats thing -- Aren't they all Northerners? What would the snow do to them anyway -- within the show's logic? I was in Denmark last year and it rained and it was cold as fuck and the men would wear shorts in what would be 30-40 degree weather. Certain folk from certain regions can do this. Fuck all this minutia bullshit. Do yourselves a favor and skip the season finale. :sarcasm:

Funny thing is all this bitching about time travel and location jumping.. BUT NOT ONE GODDAM WORD ABOUT WHERE THE FUCK THE DEAD GOT BIG ASS CHAINS TO PULL A FUCKIN' DRAGON OUT OF A LAKE!!!! |

I understand the complaints about time and space--I wondered how long it would take for Dany to arrive, but I accepted the idea that they were sitting there on that rock long enough for it to happen. And then I don't feel a need to get hung up on it.
