Yo, this article contains spoilers for everything so far in Season 6 and might even include spoilers for the upcoming episode. 

If this little bit of leaked information is correct, distance no longer means anything in Game of Thrones.

As we all ready our arms and gather our forces for what will reportedly be the biggest battle in the history of the show, one magazine claims that the battlefield meeting between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton will not be the only momentous encounter.

Seriously, this might be correct information, which will spoil Sunday's episode. Tread carefully.

A UK magazine entitled TV & Satellite Week nestled a nugget of possible truth into a larger Game of Thrones article. The magazine claims that Yara and Theon Greyjoy will make it to Meereen and team up with Daenerys and her unchained/Dothraki army.

If this is true, it means that the Greyjoys, and the ships they stole from the newly crowned king of the Iron Islands, made it all the way from the north-ish, western section of Westeros, around the south of the continent and more than halfway around the eastern continent of Essos. All in the span of four episodes.

The Greyjoys fled in the fifth episode of the season, "The Door," and in the seventh episode, "The Broken Man," they were docked in Volantis, the indentation on the above map. If the ninth episode finds the expatriated Ironborn in Meereen, it means it would only take four episodes, to sail around 80 percent of the known world. That is a little absurd. 

Game of Thrones has always been a little forgiving with time and distance, but this past season has been a far cry from the long episodes it used to spend on the road, days, weeks and months away from destinations. 

Also, if it only takes four episodes to sail the world, what the hell has Daenerys been doing for the past six seasons?

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
