Months and weeks pass between episodes 2 and 3 of Season 1 - they weren't interlinked with anything else.

Similarly, Mace Tyrell wasn't necessarily traveling fast or slow to Braavos in Season 5, given that the Braavos storyline wasn't really interlinked with others, explicitly.

In contrast, Littlefinger was linked with Sansa's storyline in that he said he left for the Wall when he heard that she had escaped Winterfell. Thus, his actions were dependent on the timeline of her actions.

(sigh) ....we don't know exactly how long Sansa has been at the Wall at this point, and if a full month passed off screen between episodes 4 and 5 (plausible) I would let it pass that maybe Littlefinger came by ship to Eastwatch. I just wish they'd said that instead of giving no real explanation for how he got there.
