Beyond the Wall? NO Beyond the disbelief
22 August 2017
From the people who use to bring you creativity and shock, thanks to mainly having great source material to write from. Now that the show has surpassed the books, we can clearly see the change in quality and not in the good way. You would think now that everyone is on the same plain field, one would think it would be easier to please everyone. Which is not the case, as the writing is just taking all the fans and anyone who has a brain for a joke. There is no longer time or distance in the show, no essence of danger, no shocks, no patience for the audience to understand or let the story progress in a normal way. Everything has to happen now and in each episode, with no time for the audience to feel anything. Now with this episode I have to call it, this is stupid. After looking into the game of thrones maps, and taking on board the distances between certain places have come out with the most shortest and fairest distance between Eastwatch and Dragonstone is around 1700-2000 miles. An average speed of flying bird is between 20-30 mph... Assuming here that the G.O.T ravens fly at 55 mph it would take the raven 31 hours just to get to Dragonstone. now also allowing the dragon to fly at 155 Mph with someone on their back not falling off, would mean that Daenerys flight back would be 11 hours if she flew with no stops and a map of exactly where to go to Eastwatch, not to mention where they are in behind the wall. Remember she's never been up north nor behind the wall. So in total that's 42 hours of straight flying with no breaks, stops or looking around for directions. In the episode we see the guys walk out of Eastwatch in the morning, they walked before capturing the walker, and when they told Gendry to run to Eastwatch it was evening. They got stuck on the frozen lake, and the next day they started to fight and got saved by the dragons. Now that means that less then 24 hours have had to pass. Assuming that they didn't start to fight in the early hours of the morning, at most 16 hours had past since Gendry left them. 16 hours vs 42 hours?? Come on G.O.T get your act together! If you need a new writer, feel free to contact me.

Not to mention the fact that the whole surprise ending was not even funny. We know from previous episode that whatever dies get turned into the walker, they killed a polar bear at the beginning of the episode, and we have seen other animals be undead too. So why did fans were in shock when it happened? and didn't even ask the questions where the chains came from?...
