And the show.

I like when they bring characters in that we can somewhat relate to. More Dickon wouldn't hurt my feelings. I'm afraid he dies next week.

Yes.

North of the bay. It's about a 175-200 mile trip to the battlefield with an entirely mounted party. The Lannisters were traveling ~800 miles, stretched out over miles, close to King's Landing, and guarding slowly moving wagons.

Him being in the water is his escape. He's going to float down river towards Blackwater Bay, which is where Kings Landing is.

Because that's 150 feet further away from where he was riding in the water?

I would put money on them definitely not seeing eachother this season, and potentially never again.

And they don't have to travel very far. It's a few week trip from Dragonstone to the battlefield, and a few months from Highgarden to the battlefield.

Miri Maz Dur, the blood mage, said "When the sun rises in the west, sets in the east when the seas go dry. When the mountains blow in the wind like leaves. Only then will you bear a living child."

We're led to believe she's infertile.

They're spearmen, not pikemen. There were no heavy horse. The sections of the line that weren't burned by Drogon held up reasonably well for a three deep line of infantry. It was that first Drogon fire strafe that opened the line and allowed the Dothraki in behind the line that decided the battle.

Nah. I can't imagine a situation where he isn't one of the ones in the crowd Dany is speaking to next week.

Definitely Bronn. They show him getting the white horse, and they're both white horses that get torched at the end.

While some of the time-frame issues are tough to explain, this one isn't. Dragonstone is an hours-long boat ride from the coast of Westeros and then a couple days right from where the battlefield was. The slow journey for the army from Highgarden to Kings Landing should have taken a few months. It makes sense that…
