I'm really sick of all these reviews repeating the same criticism about logistics. They had 7 episodes to tell a tremendously complex story and try to move it along for the final 6 episode season. They didn't have time to show characters slogging from one end to the other. Also, yes there are some convenient cliff hanger resolutions but again this is about limited time. Maybe Bronn lugged Jamie to safety. Maybe Jamie independently swam. They didn't have time to go through the details so they chose to move the plot along. Jon Snow and the dragon scene was important because she trusts her dragons and that one of them read Jon Snow as a good man made her embrace him more fully. The whole future of their world is dependent on trust. Cercei says her only chance of defeating daenerys is by out-thinking her and that means mastering her rage and not killing tyrion when she has the chance. Everything makes sense given the show's constraints. It's an excellent episode. it's actually my favorite of the season, which is not as good as past seasons but still a top tier show
