I agree with what you said. When Arya had instant recovery, I was pissed off. Arya's entire time in Bravos was a complete failure, in my eyes. There's plenty in the show that disappoints me; who 100% loves every aspect of things they enjoy? You just gotta move on or stop watching. I chose to carry on. It doesn't make it a bad show, it's a great show that has *groan* moments/threads.brewster wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:25 am
Back to Westeros: there's gotta be rules. You can't handwave whenever you fuck up the plot. This is why Arya recovering from her gutting by the Waif was such stupid writing. Don't make something happen which then requires suspension of disbelief for an inexplicable outcome. Contrast that with The Hound's compound femur fracture. He and all of us knew he was going to die. That's the usual outcome of that wound in that situation. That the terribly wasted Ian McShane saved him was explained plausibly. He did almost die even with knowledgeable care. No plot hole.
You are hanging onto a very small aspect, simply because you are a SME on the topic. I'm sure the series is riddled with these types of situations that we don't notice, simply because we don't understand the topic well enough to even consider or worry about what's happening. Did Jaime's giant wound heal in the proper time frame? I have no idea, but I'll bet there are fans who are doctors who had groan moments when something looked like it happened too quickly, or not quickly enough, or the scar looked off, or whatever. Is it even possible to sleep on a sloped surface without sliding? I doubt it. That one kinda bugged me, but I moved on.
Examples everywhere ....
