I'm saying, yes, it probably took like a few weeks to march on Highgarden and Casterly Rock simultaneously, but gently caress you if you want us to wait three episodes to show the result, let's just show the result now and if you've ever read a story before you'll probably realize that you can just assume that they had no major issues with the goddamn baggage train or some poo poo and nothing significant happened in the meantime

I agree with everyone who wants the characters to mention how much time has elapsed in spirit, but at this point the show does so much jumping around that it would just be another stupid thing on top of a bunch of other stupid things. Honestly I rather have what it is now, racing towards the finish, than a filler season of the best dialog they can come up with without GRRM.

I remember when Monica ran down to Central Perk to tell Rachel something and did it before Chandler had explained a thing to Ross, man I was so mad.

Phi230 posted:Yes they do Haven't missed an episode. Never once saw the one where they make a compass do the Pointy Leg Man across a map between all the places of interest. Certain locations (Wall to KL, Wall to Winterfell, KL to Horn Hill) have had their locations/travel times explained, and there has never been an example of someone making that trip too quickly. Certain locations (KL to Casterly Rock, Mereen to Dragonstone) have not had their locations/travel times explained, and so it's impossible for there to have been an example of someone making that trip too quickly.

Maybe that old theory that Euron and Dario are the same person is actually true and Euron does have a magic ship that goes really really fast.

Yeah I was worried that scene might have given some indication that Casterly Rock is far away from KL, but I just watched it and all they do is show a super zoomed in view of Lannisport. One thing to say in favor of the Things Used To Be Much Better camp is that Maester Luwin's actor was incredible.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:"Distance from KL to Casterly Rock" and "Distance from The Wall to Winterfell" are alike situations. Yes, having a known distance reference does not allow you to extrapolate on a map. Your stance is based on the assumption that there has never been a to-scale map of Westeros ever displayed on screen. Which would mean every map ever shown in the show is utterly useless as a map. What sounds more likely? That these maps are actually functional tools for navigation or that people waste time and money for pretty pictures of the country that have no practical use whatsoever?

According to these measurements of distances between places in GoT by turbospergs, it's 590 miles from Casterly Rock to KL. What's funnier though is that it's an even greater distance from KL to Highgarden: about 760 miles. So if anybody is guilty of teleport magic, it's Jamie.

So why do y'all think Jon is being so tight-lipped about his resurrection? It's kinda like he just wants everyone to think he's your standard issue Night's Watch deserter.

Probably because he's a bit worried about telling people he's a zombie while trying to rally them to help him fight an army of zombies? Also because it would make him sound even more fucknuts insane.

This is not intended to be visible to the viewer and as such is not a part of the tale being told to the viewer. There's a part in Braveheart where the camera boom is in the frame. Does this mean that camera booms existed in the world of Braveheart? For this to be a valid indicator of distance, it would be legible and the focus of the scene (which it is neither). And even if it were, that would be [x] Distance [ ] Time only 1 of 2 items checked off to prove that Teleportation happened...

I know this is (to be fair really good) trolling at this point but man I wish it wasn't Anyway, based on the 1% chance that this isn't trolling or that someone believes this nonsense: this map matches the map Bran is looking at in the above scene, it matches the map in the opening credits with reference to every single iteration and location used, it matches every other map we've seen when you compare which parts are visible on screen at any given time, it matches official artwork easily accessible elsewhere, it matches the book map (OH NO THAT DOESN't EXIST!)
