Anyway, this is the first season that didn't have a pretty immersive guideline to work with, in the books. I couldn't help but notice that there was a sense of scope that was missing.

In the previous seasons, when someone got into a jam, it was clear that they were pretty much on their own. The fastest way to travel is by horse or ship, and ravens were the fastest form of communication. This took forever.

But in this season, Jon's group is surrounded in the North, so Gendry runs to the wall, sends a raven, and Denarys flies up to save them, all in the course of one day. What happened to the vastness of this world?

Lol.. We've discussed this at length. The writers have dispensed with geography and logic in order to make cool scenes.
