Its hard for me to give credit for actions being motivated by misunderstandings when the misunderstandings require for characters to be dumb as hell. Not to mention theres a literal all knowing crippled guy in the corner that everyone seems to be ignoring for no reason.
Well, he gave Lionspaw to Arya. If he indeed, "knows all", then what else does he have to do? It's not like he is gonna hop up out of his wheelchair and top rope Littlefinger.
If Arya is the key, then he has kinda done his part. Not to mention, I don't think he really cares about what happens between the two of them if it doesn't effect the battle with the Knights King.
Gendry ran for half a day and a full night.
They showed the Fellowship on the rock at night, cut to Gendry, cut back to Fellowship the next morning when the lake has had time to freeze back over.
He ran for like 12 hours at the very least.
It doesn't excuse Dany getting a message from the fastest raven in the world, nor that she made the flight North so quick... but Gendry's run was legit.
I don't think the show did a good job of giving us reference of time. All we know, is that it was a hard run away from the wall. We don't know it was over night, we don't know any details other than it was hard. So it could of been 5 miles or it could have been 20, we don't know. If it was say 5 miles, than they immediately send a raven, and Dany immediately gets on the dragon. Then that makes pretty good sense timing wise.
Did anybody catch where the third dragon was in all that mess? Obviously the one was under the ice, the second was carrying Dany and picked up the rest of the crew, but where the hell was the third one?
I'll have to rewatch the episode, but I am almost positive the third dragon was flying past as the second fell to it's death. It was screeching and all that. Drogo was on the little rock island at that time.
