No, not see, just make sense. Surely the screenwriters can do a better job than this without sacrificing that much screen time.

I didn't like Bran before but I'm willing to come around if his new gimmick is going to be telling women how nice the weather was on the day they were raped.

I think the fleet's only goal was to burn the ships the Unsullied came in on. After that the fleet leaves because it forces the Unsullied to then walk from the Rock to King's Landing.

Tyrion not accounting for the non-importance of Casterly Rock was actually a good plot point IMO. Minus the idiocy of the stealth ships.

There's nothing to say they even left at the same time, people are just assuming it was so because they made the plans to take Sand Snakes and Ellaria back and have the Unsullied attack Casterly Rock in the same meeting. Not sure what you mean by "made it back to King's Landing". They likely caught Yara/Ellaria force very close to KL on their trip south. Also did we not ever solve the mystery of how many ships Yara actually stole from Iron Fleet? I believe someone noted it was only 100 or so. Iron Fleet easily could have not used it's entire power against whatever small contingent Yara/Ellaria had with them, and split off a larger chunk to head towards Casterly Rock (again, and still be much larger than that force Dany sent there as well).
If they had shown Euron on deck fighting Unsullied, I'd understand the complaints a little more.

It's just jarring as a viewer. They spent whole seasons with people walking like a total of 500 miles and now they are zipping all over the world in between cuts and taking over cities in 15 seconds.

Euron's ship was there, there's a shot of Grey Worm looking down at the ships and you can see it there.
I'm thinking GRRM left far too many loose ends, and the show is basically using Euron ex Machina until things get managable again. Maybe next time he kills half the cast and then mysteriously rows off into the sunset...

GREATEST CAPTAIN ON THE 14 SEAS. Of course he can sail faster than a bunch of eunuchs
In line with the Webway, I was thinking he might using Archon Recall.
No one has mentioned it, biggest let down was faggot Theon is still alive, which means surely he will end up being the one to save his sister and kill Euron. And not someone actually cool.

the idea was just to destroy the unsullied ships and head back to Kings Landing, now the entire unsullied army has to walk all the way across westeros with no supplies except what they can get from the emptied silo's in Casterly Rock.
meanwhile Euron is off buttfucking (or finger in the bumming) some other fleet.

His SHIP was there. Tyrion even stated that they would know they were coming...could easily torture that out of captives they got from the Yara/Sand Snakes engagement. It's not like the battle at Casterly Rock even against the token defense is going to take 5 minutes either. Grey Worm didn't realize until they had completed the takeover of the castle that there should have been more men there. Knowing that Unsullied fleet would be trying to not be noticed on its way, it would likely be going slower than Iron Fleet going as quickly as possible to catch up to them.
As soon as Euron declared with Cersei, she had the actual sea power advantage over Dany...aside from 3 dragons. Next episode looks like we'll see a bit more of Dany's power.

How long do you think the siege on Casterly took? 1 day? They sped through it pretty fast but I imagine its not hard to believe Euron shows up a few days later to sink their ships, they both originated from Dragonstone/King's Landing area anyway, he spends a day delivering Yara/Sand Snakes to Cersei and then goes on his way, arriving sometime after Casterly has been taken.
I don't have a problem with it tbh.
The Daenery's / Jon meeting was let down mostly because Emelia Clarke was straining so hard it was actually comical. Jon isn't great either but he wasn't tasked with putting out as much emotion, Daenerys was straining to prove herself, gritting her teeth and shit, so fake.
Then we see Cersei not long after who does a fantastic job.
Oh well, I thought the episode was a 9.5/10 still, not much complaints story-wise, ties up more loose ends and gets us rolling. Really loved Cersei in this episode and the Queen of Thorns pricking Jaime one last time. Awesome.

It makes fine sense.No, not see, just make sense. Surely the screenwriters can do a better job than this without sacrificing that much screen time.
Is anyone bitching about how quickly Jon and Davos made it to Dragonstone? No? Weeks? Two days? So why can't a Greyjoy just sail around the south? Also, we never saw Euron himself, we just saw Silence.

I imagine the siege was fast since the Unsullied has an inside route. Euron (edit: Iron fleet) had to show up right after they took the Rock since there were still living bodies on the wall.
