I'll go into further detail about the whole "let's go catch a wight to show Cersei" subplot later on, but one of its most galling moments was when Gendry raced back across the expanses north of the Wall to get a message to Daenerys, who (if memory serves) was stationed at Dragonstone some 2,000 miles south. Instead, let's focus on just two particularly egregious examples of fast travel and rushed timelines.įirst off, we have the curious tale of the bastard, Gendry, who is apparently now the fastest man alive (sorry Barry Allen). I won't go through each and every example. Likewise, time itself seemed to speed up enormously as the season itself shrunk from 10 to just 7 episodes. Unlike the first few seasons, which were often about the journey around Westeros, the Free Cities and elsewhere, the seventh season paid no heed whatsoever to geography and the vast distances between one place and another. There are many examples of how "fast travel" rushed things along during the truncated seventh season.
