Also agreed that having everyone get to the Water Gardens at the exact same time was quite weak. Until now, chance meetings have been much more plausible. Tyrion captured in a tavern while traveling south from the Wall while Catherine Stark travels north, The Hound captured by the brotherhood and recognizing Arya Stark in the mess hall, Arya and Robert Barathian's bastard being on the same excursion of draftees for the Knight's Watch, Bryanne of Tarr and Jamie being intercepted on the bridge on the way to King's Landing by that hand chopping off guy, Bryanne of Tarr running into Arya and The Hound while they Bryanne heads north to Winterfell and Arya and the Hound turn around from the Aerie, all of these chance encounters did not feel so forced. Obviously there has to be some suspension of disbelief or major characters would just wander around forever and not encounter one another. However, in prior examples the plausibility was there. Bronn and Jamie travelling by boat to land on the beach, waylay a mounted Dorne patrol, and arrive at the Water Gardens at the exact same time that the Sand Snakes' plot was being put into action? It started to feel like Xena, and I hate that.
