I really don't understand why people are getting so worked up about things that "could easily be explained with 2 lines of dialogue".

Okay sure, the Hound could have said "Damnit, where is Gendry, it's been 3 days and that lake is looking like it's freezing over pretty quickly"

Yeah, they could have done that, and then people would say "I can't believe the writers think we are that stupid, show us, don't tell us....that's just lazy writing".

If things are so easy to explain with 2 lines of dialogue, then why do you need them explicitly stated for you?
