so it took one day for gendry to run back to eastwatch, a raven to get to dragonstone, and dany to fly to save them? lmao arya's scenes are just the worst. i didn't think i'd loathe them more than when she was in braavos but here he are.

I was hoping Arya reuniting with the rest of the cast would improve her. Now I just wish she stayed in Braavos. Unless she's playing a long con the turn they've taken with her can never fully be salvaged.

"See, it works perfectly if we discard everything we know and were told and substitute with our own facts!" I take the "the showrunners are idiots who stopped caring years ago" instead. And it's not even a "the normies don't care" thing either any more, since I heard the teleporting thing used as running gag by several causal watchers too (and they haven't even seen E6 yet). As said, if sparingly used Speed Of Plot is fine, but if you overdo it, it interferes with your story. Decius fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Aug 17, 2017 |

Like I keep saying, it isn't a deal breaker. It isn't even the worst thing about the show, not by a long shot. The travel times really aren't that bad. But with the length and pace of this season, it's way more noticeable. This past episode, especially. The way scenes and characters are written isn't helping it, at all. It feels like barely any time is passing between episodes, yet we've covered a month at the very least by now, probably more. It's kind of disorienting to me this season, where in the past seasons it was just fun to make fun of it.

The rowboat meme is where the serie jumped the shark. Is still very good TV, because it has a solid foundation, but I can see it turn into "the monster of the week" type of serie, once it has kill all current characters and monsters. Tei fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Aug 17, 2017 |

I thought the most famous one was Beauty and the Beast. The plot in the castle seems to take months while the village plot can't take more than a few days.

I never picked up on that one. Obviously Belle spends a lot of time with the Beast, but what is there to suggest that the village plot is happening that quickly?

It has like 8 episodes left, how the gently caress would it become a "monster of the week" series? Take less research chemicals, Tei.

My favorite weird plot point in Beauty and the Beast is that the Beast is like 10 years old when he gets cursed. Harsh.

GRRM basically has a forward in ASOS saying "the timeline probably doesn't make 100% sense if you try to absolutely work it out, deal with it" so

GRRM made the wall too tall, yeah, but he isn't a loving retard who doesn't understand basic arithmetic or distances. If he has ever driven a car from one city to another, he knows and understands how far 100miles is. He made Westeros deliberately as big as South America. He might regret that choice now in hindsight, but he is not innumerate.

as far as speeding up the season goes, I care about the lack of the slower paced dialogue scenes that should have been there when, say, Tyrion and Jaime linked back up, then "oh no the logistics"

I mean, Westeros' shape is obviously modeled after the British Isles. I'm pretty sure he tried making Westeros the same size by area, but quickly ran into all kinds of problems like climate zones(the siberian North& tropic Dorne only 100s of miles apart) not making any sense and the politics being all hosed up. Like, if Westeros was smaller it would probably be much more centralized and less culturally diverse, etc.

We have not even seen a complete map of the planet. The part the characters travel in the serie seems to be a small part of a bigger area. Kind of like Morrowind (the game) was only Vvardenfell. Anyway the reason people have a feel people is teleporting is a bad script / rushed exposition / whatever you call it. A better director would find a way to insert a half a second scene or other way to inform the viewers about the time.

Here's a map of the "known world". This is from HBO's site so we can assume it's accurate for the show. Here's the one from the Lands of Ice and Fire book.  In the book map specifically it's pretty clear that we are not seeing a "pole to pole" view, maybe only the northern hemisphere and a bit of the southern. Nonetheless it's obvious even in the show that Westeros stretches across a number of climate zones and clearly isn't just a little island like Britain. It is a very large continent. Propaganda Machine posted:Either that or the fictional planet they live on is smaller, which would explain the wild differences in climate. GRRM, in 2002 posted:Yes, the world is round. Might be a little larger than ours, though. I was thinking more like Vance's Big Planet.... but don't hold me to that. In case you haven't read it, Big Planet is quite a bit larger than Earth but less dense (so it has similar gravity).

lol at you guys going full Pepe Silvia and trying to add facts from GRRM's novelized adaptation of the hit HBO Series A Game of Thrones Slackjawed retards watching the TV show aren't printing up WesterosMap.jpg and doing the pointy-leg-man from the Wall to King's Landing to calculate travel times Dragonstone is like 45 minutes' flying time from Eastwatch, did you even see the episode
