so my take on what happens next season:

sansa and jon sex it down,  cersei and jamie get a boner for them cause incest is awesome so ofc orgy alliance.

daenarys spontaneously combusts, her burning corpse setting fire to her fleet.  the dragons therefore roaming free and doing what ever the fuck they want (starting off by eating those sandsnake bitches)

then the walkers breach the wall and shit gets interesting again.

Haha, all the complaints about the travel per time "paradoxes", oh well.
People assuming that every episode covers the same amount of time for every plot line is really funny.

Arya is suddenly teleporting across the map
Suddenly teleporting? How do you know how much time it took her to sail there? Like, really?

Wait, wait.. what? How is Varys with Daenerys on the ship? I'd speculate that he actually has legit teleport magic at his disposal if it weren't for every other character teleporting as well.
Hey, let me explain that to you, no problem. Varys sailed to Dorne and then sailed back to Dany. Then they all together sailed to Westeros. See now?

"George R.R. Martin
Book Three: A Song of Ice and Fire
A NOTE ON CHRONOLOGY
A Song of Ice and Fire is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another. Some chapters cover a day, some only an hour; others might span a fortnight, a month, half a year. With such a structure, the narrative cannot be strictly sequential; sometimes important things are happening simultaneously, a thousand leagues apart.
In the case of the volume now in hand, the reader should realize that the opening chapters of A Storm of Swords do not follow the closing chapters of A Clash of Kings so much as overlap them. I open with a look at some of the things that were happening on the Fist of the First Men, at Riverrun, Harrenhal, and on the Trident while the Battle of the Blackwater was being fought at King’s Landing, and during its aftermath...

Alright, let's look it over: Mr. Stealyosword's son or whatever has grew nothing since the third season. Cersei's hair hasn't grown an inch all season (I guess they can't really control her hair growth irl, but still) there's a lot of fucking things more that point to the exact same shit, but I can't think of them right now. Let's face it, it's fucked up, it's not part of the 'lore' or the 'show' or whatever, they just want to hurry the show up so they can move on to another project. So they decide to do a lot of stupid shit like Varys dropping in for one 'cool' scene where he can say Fire and Blood, then they want him for another scene so they don't actually give a fuck about how he got there. Stop defending it, it's stupid and could be done much better.

No it's not, what's wrong with you?
Varys was shown in Dorne to let us know he's bargaining an alliance with Dorne and the Tyrells, he could've said absolutely nothing and the scene would still be valuable plot-wise. And do you really need a scene of Varys travelling all the way to Dorne and then another one showing him sailing back to actually know he travelled there?

IMO the music was fucking great and it added a lot to the scene.

Cersei's hair hasn't grown an inch all season

Or maybe she get's her hair cut off-screen like every other character? Just because her hair used to be long doesn't mean she didn't decide to just keep it short for now. Of all the poor writing to complain about, quick travel times is just nit-picking. It's obvious that they want to wrap up the story as quickly as possible at this point, so they aren't showing people sitting on a boat for an entire episode if not two. It's quite silly that Varys goes from Essos to Dorne and back, only to sail back to Westeros all in one episode, but it doesn't mean he's magically teleporting. Is it sloppy writing? Maybe, if only because it all happens within an hour, but I think it is safe to say we can all use our imagination for a change and fill in the blanks. And here people are complaining about too much filler as-is... if they showed every character sitting on a horse or boat for multiple episodes in a row we'd need 10 more seasons instead of 1.5-2.

Frey pie in the book is Lord Manderly serving it to all the lords during the siege of Winterfell. They recycled it to give Arya a bit more to do I guess.
Which he took his inspiration from " The Rat Cook" http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Rat_Cook

What's wrong with me? Is it too much to ask for a show with a budget of a 100 million dollars to put some effort into the writing? The scene in Dorne was necessary, even if it was poorly written in my opinion. But they wanted a cool scene on a ship where Daenerys looked over the ocean with all her companions behind her. It was so necessary they just put him there. They didn't give a single fuck. Logically, why the fuck would he even return?
