Indeed. Twice I think. Once during an assault down south and in Winterfell to keep word from getting out. Or maybe it was both before and after taking. I cannot remember.

Dire wolves you just explain as big wolves. That's not magic.
The trees is definitely a good example. And since you mentioned those, it did remind me about the green seers. That shit is definitely "magic." Not sure if there was any warging going on south of the wall, but that's a possibility as well. So I stand corrected.

All of those ravens that got shot down in front of the Twins in Season 1 sure didn't make it to their destination!

Yeah what I'm looking for is an extended scene where one guy is like "what the fuck? Why didn't you come help us out? we sent a raven! " then the other is like "nah man didn't get no raven"
"you definitely got that raven."
"nah, definitely didn't. Must have been a dumb raven."
Then back and forth like that for a good 5 mins or so.
If I lived in Westeros and got a raven asking me to do something I didn't want to do I'd just kill the raven and say I never got it. Hopefully this theme is fleshed out in upcoming episodes.

Ahh yes thanks. Twins they were shot down, and in Winterfell they were butchered. They were kept in cages marked by locations they would fly to.
I assume they feed them better in the homeland and not in the captured land as incentive for them to fly back home.

Man, 20 new pages . . .
Noodle, Keg, a_skeleton_03, you guys all seem to confuse a lack of understanding for a lack of fucks given. Noodle lost sight of it being a joke, a_skeleton_03 is flakey on participation, and Keg is about half fucking dumb so it all fits pretty well.
Keg not knowing shit or being wrong . . . color me shocked.
We have odds on Tyrion / Sansa ending up together?

Those cost a lot more and every time I send one to Keg, they don't return. Keg gets my Dollar Store ravens which are just painted homing pigeons. I hope he doesn't notice.

Or...Euron was still sitting pretty building his armada when Cersei contacted him and he sailed off. You just made up in your head that he was on a boat so you had something to complain about.
It's less bad writing and more "bad watching".
And for the record...Ravens are a certain kind of magic. They speak the True Tongue and were trained first by the greenseer Children of The Forest to carry messages.
Also...no magic? RENLY WAS FUCKING KILLED BY A GODDAMN SHADOW THAT SPEWED FORTH FROM THE LOINS OF A FIRE WITCH!!!!
Get the fuck out of here with that no magic shit.

Or you know, watching the show and understanding how things like time and distance work.
Might be magic to you for all I know.

You don't actually watch the show do you? Tyrion mentioned that Yara and Theon didn't make off with the whole fleet and just watching those big shots you can see we are talking about dozens of ships, not hundreds. Euron made his "1,000 ships remark" when the Iron Fleet was never more than 300 at the largest and now you're in a tizzy because there MUST be literally 999+1 ships. You COULD excuse this if all of this wasn't actually said in the show and you just missed it.
You're like a woman pretending to watch a movie and 20 minutes in asking "What happened? Who is that guy? Where is this place? Wait did she die? No I am really enjoying this *stares at phone*" and then later complaining that the writing wasn't very good.

It is an interesting dilemma for GRRM. The show itself had no chance of amazing writing with the last parts being pared down to end the run. Sure, we can still get some good writing and some amazing parts but you just can't fit a proper GoT style end into a season and a half.
GRRM has to survive to finish the official rambling version when he can't stay on track and takes about 7-8 years per book. Guy doesn't look like he'll last that long. His wife won't let someone come in and finish(so far), so how does it end? Probably with a pared down version similar to the show if at all. It's almost fitting.
