Game of Thrones fans have noticed a few gaping plot holes in the latest episode… including the fact it took Dany five DAYS to rescue Jon
THIS latest season of Game of Thrones has treated fans to more breathtaking battles and memorable moments than you can shake a Valyrian steel sword at.
However, as epic as season seven has been, some Thrones fans are starting to worry that the show's creators are losing the plot.
The latest episode, Beyond The Wall, was packed with dragons and zombies - and even a zombie dragon - but there are a few things that were a bit off about this week's instalment.
For one, the sudden return of Benjen Stark seemed a little too convenient to be believable, but at least there was a grain of credibility to uncle Ben's appearance.
Much harder to wrap your head around is the fact that Jon Snow & Co. supposedly survived five days stranded in the middle of a frozen lake waiting for Daenerys to come and bail them out.
A particularly dedicated fan has that's how long it would have taken for Dany to get the message from Gendry that the group were surrounded by undead and in need of a hand.
First, Gendry had to run all the way back to The Wall, after the group spent half an episode trekking in the other direction.
Jon was looking for a lone Walker to capture, so it's not impossible that the group would have been zig-zagging to cover more ground.
This makes it plausible that Gendry could run all the way back to The Wall in just a few hours, since they may not have gone as far as it appeared.
But even so, after it's taken Gendry a few hours to get back, the raven would take days to reach Dany.

It's around 600 miles from Castle Black to Winterfell, so this stretch of the trip alone would take a raven (top speed: 28mph) a whole day.
We also know it's a thousand miles from King's Landing to Winterfell, so you're looking at well over another day for that stretch - and four days in total before the raven reaches Dany.
From this point, it would take the Mother of Dragons 12 hours flying at 175mph to reach Jon and the gang, who somehow are still alive and well in the middle of a frozen lake.
During those five days, Thoros died and The Hound practised his shot put, but not much else happened.
And fans are rightly a bit baffled as to how the group managed to survive so long without starving or freezing to death.
Another bizarre aspect of the latest episode came right at the end, when downed dragon Viserion was being pulled out of the lake by the Army of the Dead.
The Walkers were seen using heavy-duty chains to drag the dragon out of the lake, begging the questions: where on Earth did they get those chains? And how come Walkers can swim now?
With no B&Q for miles, the dead army's antics caught plenty of flack from Twitter, where Game of Thrones fans pored over the bizarre plot hole.
In a show all about magic and dragons, the plot really shouldn't be the most unbelievable thing.
