And even if it did take more than a day, how did the men not end up like poor Thoros before the hour Daenerys swooped in?.How the hell did a raven travel the 2,000 miles from Eastwatch to Dragonstone in less than a day? If it took 12 hours, and the raven never stopped to rest, that’s a 167-mph raven.While we’re at it, how did Gendry even know where to run after fresh snow wiped out Jon and co.’s tracks, especially since Gendry had never even experienced snow before, period?.How was Gendry able to run all the way to Eastwatch, however far that was, in what appears to be record time?.Jon and Dany have an essentially unlimited supply of dragonglass now, right? Why didn’t they bring dragonglass arrows, to kill White Walkers with from a distance?.Why did Dany bring all three dragons beyond the wall, when she only used one against the Lannister army? Gendry didn’t know how many undead were coming, so he couldn’t have warned her of the massive army.Why didn’t Dany or anybody else try to kill the Night King?.Why didn’t the Night King first try to kill the dragon that Dany - and eventually the rescued members of Jon’s party - was riding? Assuming that what he really wanted a zombified dragon, wouldn’t it make more sense to start with the biggest of the three and the easiest one to hit?.Why didn’t the Night King just use his ice javelins against Jon, Jorah, Tormund, and the rest of the wight hunters while they were stranded on an island in the middle of the lake? Was he playing a longer game to lure Dany out?.Wasn’t it really, um, convenient to have the ice break just in time to stop the wights? And for Jon and his buddies to end up on a perfectly placed island?.Why didn’t the group bring a raven with them to send a message back to Eastwatch in the event of trouble?.

And from there, they made a series of miraculous escapes from what should have been certain death. Not only did the tiny search party stumble upon a separated group of wights sooner rather than later, but they discovered that killing one White Walker probably kills every wight that it turned - in a moment that fortuitously still left them a single wight to capture. Yet their mission was ultimately successful, give or take a dragon death. The plan was ill-formed from the start, and they made some baffling decisions along the way. The ridiculousness began as soon as Jon Snow and his merry band of wight-hunters began their trek north of the Wall in search of a reanimated corpse to capture and bring back to Cersei. More than any other episode of season seven - or really, the entire series so far - the hour glossed over so many logistical hurdles and relied on so many convenient twists to arrive at its ice dragon endgame that it didn’t make much sense at all. “Beyond the Wall” was one of the most purely spectacular Game of Thrones episodes to date, but if you think about it for more than a few minutes, the whole thing comes crashing down faster than King’s Landing under a scorned queen’s wildfire siege.
