Or almost as bad as Jon Snow telling Sansa that she'd be in charge in front of his entire 'kingdom' without so much as giving her a head's up. Or Ellaria and Tyrion getting over the whole "you murdered my niece" thing through a single line of dialogue.
The storytelling this season has been pretty bad, to be honest. The dialogue has been solid in parts but the story itself has had so many moments that require you turn your brain off in a mere two episodes that it's become frustrating.
Without the source material to pin themselves to, D&D have shown themselves to be fairly mediocre storytellers, IMO.

Yaaaaaarp. We're full speed ahead toward the end goal now, and the storylines have been streamlined toward that end.
Whatever, if they can do the ending justice, I'm okay with overlooking issues such as how experienced seafarers somehow missed an
entire ****ing armada approaching them for combat.
As of now, I'm assuming most of these issues are due to the fact that this season consolidated down from its traditional 10 episode format to 7 episodes. It's all good, I get it, and perhaps one day I can read the more detailed version once Brandon Sanderson writes it, but for now, just do the ending justice and I'll be happy, D&D.
