There
has been a lot of debate about whether the plot of the most recent episode of
Game of Thrones (Season 7 Episode 6), and specifically the sequence where there was
enough time for Gendry to run back to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, get someone there to send a raven to Dragonstone calling for help, and then for Danaerys and her dragons to fly to the rescue, is
plausible. Plausibility is an important part of the fantasy genre, because
it is far more rewarding to read a story (or watch a film) about
fantastical creatures and magic if the people in these stories are subject to the laws of physics just like
us, so I thought that I
would add my two cents’ worth.
