If only they had had oh, I don’t know, a bunch of dragonglass-tipped arrows and a longbow. Probably left those behind along with their winter hats.
I still enjoy the show. However, it's hard to not feel as though the quality of writing has dropped significantly since passing the point of being completely without the books. A lot of what made the show great was the small details which helped bring the fantasy setting to life.
I understand that the scope of the story is now bigger and more epic, so it makes sense to gloss over a lot of things. That being said, I feel as though the fight-logic is (at least to some extent) hurting the story by too often embracing what looks cool in a 10 second preview or a still shot rather than what actually feels narratively right while watching the show.
I can't find it right now on mobile at work, but someone mathed it all out and it made sense.It becomes way more believable if they just switch out every mentioning of "sending a raven" with "making a cellphone call".
Seriously, this sets the new gold standard for teleporting in GoT. The season so far was heavy of it, but Gendry's world-record breaking run to the wall, the supersonic flight of the raven from Eastwatch to Dragonstone, the supersonic flight of the dragons from Dragonstone to the lake beyond the wall - just wow
