Sorry about the late reply, I wanted to rewatch the episode.
They really did seem to shrink the world, and it's unlikely the crew would be able to fight well after being exposed to the elements for so long, but then Dragons are conceivably really fast.
I guess. It still feels off, though, like something you'd see in a Peter Jackson hobbit movie. The early seasons of GoT always set up these standard fantasy plots only to then go "Of course, this is reality" and subvert them. A reality with dragons, yes, but still one where the eagles don't show up magically at the last second to save the pure of heart. The more the series moves off-book, the more it feels like they're losing that. But of course, it may all be setup for something in the last episode...
I think you underestimate the Stark sisters.
I hope I do.
And granted, my aunt doesn't look like Emilia Clarke. :) The romantic tension between them still feels forced to me, though. And I really hope it's not too unrealistic to think high-ranking politicians of opposite sexes can interact without making bedroom eyes at each other. News coverage of G20 conferences would be very disturbing otherwise.
