As funny as a full episode of Tormund talking about Brienne would be, I think it's about the perceived amount of time that has passed between events and how long people think it should take.
If two events happen simultaneously, or close to it, but on opposite sides of the continent and a character is somehow present during both events, people tend to think that the timeline is messed up.
In previous seasons this was less of an issue because the various storylines would rarely intersect making it easier to assume that some stories may be taking place over vastly different time periods despite being shown to the viewer in quick succession. Now that the stories and characters and constantly intertwined it is more difficult to make those assumptions. And since the story is moving so fast, it is also becoming more obvious to the viewer that travel time isn't remaining consistent. Things that were previously shown to take weeks, now seem to take days or even hours.
