No thanks. I'll take an accelerated timeline any day.

But why do people keep thinking that the complaints are about them not showing the actual travel? That idea is so absurd it is hilarious.
The issue is with the passage of time between events. Characters exist on one side of the continent in one scene and then a few scenes later a scene that seemingly takes place only hours or days later that character is on the other side of the continent with no plausible explanation as to how that happened.
If there was a reasonable effort to show that large chunks of time had passed it would make sense, but it seems as though the show has actually gone out of its way to show us these events are only hours/days apart.
