So even though it's the next scene for us watching the tv series weeks could have elapsed in real terms for the characters.
Which is fine, until they cut to another scene where no time has passed.
Jeez, when they do it in Pulp Fiction or Usual Suspects it's considered a masterstroke of writing.
Go with it people; when a large part of the plot is dragons / zombies / flame retardant boobies I'm prepared to accept a minor time inaccuracy.
Did I mention the boobies?

The difference is that in those films the timelines still made sense even though they were jumbled.
In GoT they are trying to cram huge sections of books into a few scenes whilst juggling multiple different plots. So they just teleport characters about as required.
I did think Ayra got back to the twins from Bravos in double quick time and Jamie appeared to arrive in Kings London, sorry Landing while the sept was still burning.
but who cares, it's still the greatest TV series ever made!
I wonder if Jamie will get a chance to give Brienne the golden hand?

Yes, accepted. Characters with boobies though.
Excellent point.

Season seven postponed until "later in the year".
I get the feeling that now they are away from the books, they are free to make it more TV friendly and zip along.
which is not why it became successful; it was because it was dense, drawn out, complex, and full of boobies.

Go back to the start, there has been teleporting and compressed timeliness from the start. Your over thinking it. Books are not TV, there was a quick interview with the TV guys who said they tried to keep it liner large for the first couple of seasons a day it was near on impossible, the story for each character is evolving and the feel of this series was to bring them all to one point.

The Usual Suspects was boring pretentious nonsense. Pulp Fiction was amusing, but only because of the jumbled timeline. If it had a conventional storyline, it would have been pretty average. Besides, it was made by a noob straight out of film school, guy probably didn't understand how proper films are made.
Started season 6...JS back from the dead, arya feeling the force, hodor's back, forgot all about rick and the wildling girl took me a minute to figure out who they were..that ramsey's a bit of a lad...looking forward to cersei's revenge.
So let's get this straight...

on timelines etc, and I'm too embarrassed to say how I know this, but the books are pretty bloody confused, as in events in book 4 or 5 (my erm, friend, who's read them reports) happen only roughly in parallel with events in book 3 or 4. The TV version does a good job of ironing this out.
GRRM has started that the books were supposed to be like that. Can you imagine trying to keep track of all that going on at once?

Finished season 6, brilliant ending! Great soundtrack!
Congratulations lazybike. Now your watch has ended. 😆
So what's the consensus on Jon Snow and Meera Reed being twins?
I don't really follow the who's who...Is she blonde? Does she ride a dragon? No? Don't care then...

Nah, just the same hairdresser I think. 😀
Good commentary from Charlie here (from last year!):
