The writing is just sloppy now. You cant get too hung up on it. Like the Sansa/Arya story-line currently? It feels forced, like everything story-line has been this season. I doubt Arya would be this hung up over this after all she has learned.

Great episode.
I've never read the books, but this is definitely a season that is different from the book seasons. The show seems to have switched paradigms from a fantasy world with deep character development to somewhat of a cinematic spectacle.
The Luke-Leia scene was kind of weird. Is incest just a normal thing in GRRM's vision?
Yeah, writing is worse and worse the farther they get from the books. Characters acting stupid when GRRM doesn't have stupid characters in main roles.
Raven flew a thousand plus miles to Dragonstone, Dany flew all the way back to the exact right place, all before nightfall? All before nightfall? Or did days actually go by and the showrunners decided not to show us any of the drama that would entail? Whatever. It's a different show. It's satisfying in a lot of way to move through the plot so fast, but it's not GRRM.
I'm anxious for the next book, and I really really hope GRRM gives us book 7.

You just kind of have to give them a pass w/ the time frame they have left to finish the series.
And I think the more surprising thing is Gendry running all that way when it was literally his first time ever being in a place cold enough to have snow.
Seeing the preview for episode 7, it looks like Jon Snow is going to wear that same heavy wolf garb whether he's north of the wall or in King's Landing. He should take a hint from the unsullied and take it off once in a while.
They have the time left for the show that they accepted. I know I would have much rather had 10 episodes for this and next season. It's pretty much the most popular show there has ever been. If they can't make money making more shows then they are dump as ****. There is no excuses. They want less shows, they need to keep quality for the number of shows they decided on. They are delivering the action, but action is not the backbone of this series. The storytelling has suffered.
So Gendry makes Castle Black by nightfall, the magnificent 7 sit on the frozen lake overnight (while none of the undead make a move), the Raven delivers overnight message service, and next morning Dany provides air support within an hour or two of spinning up the dragons.
Yeah, a bit of a stretch. I don't suppose Dany could have just gone with them in the first place. That would have lessened the drama.

I'm sure there are other restrictions like actors contracts and things of that nature that keep them from filming more. Plus they want to get into the prequel series.

Their excuse is that they had to wait until winter to start shooting this season.
The other inconsistency I'm struggling with is that the wights obviously fear the water, but they were somehow able to go attach chains to Viserion at the bottom of the frozen lake, not even considering the question of where they got those enormous chains in the first place. The Night King should have just resurrected the dragon while it was in the lake and had it swim up to the surface.
Could be the white walkers themselves can go into the water to attach chains.

It really is a different show now. It isn't about building an epic world with interesting characters. It's about dragons fighting zombies. There are a million things that don't add up and it's getting worse and worse in that area. Doesn't mean the show isn't entertaining, but it's simply not the same show/
I just hope the books arrive and are better than the show.
