2. Time is an illusion beyond the Wall

Remember in season 7 when Jon & co go beyond the Wall to capture a wight to show Cersei? The entire quest was lacking much sense, if you ask me, but the way that it concluded goes against all laws of time and space.

The gang has been walking for days. Before they are surrounded by White Walkers, Gendry — a person who doesn’t have much experience with snow — is tasked to run back to the Wall and send a raven off to Dragonstone to ask Daenerys for aid. The problem is, even if we disregard the time it would take Gendry to find his way back to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, a raven would take a long while to reach Dragonstone, possibly weeks, and it would take Dany and her dragons a good chunk of time to fly north and help the gang. And yet Dany arrives in that same episode, and given that our beloved characters haven’t moved, starved or died of hypothermia (well, save Thoros of Myr, who died from his wounds), it looks like the whole process takes only a couple of hours.
