If we were to break this down though: 705 would have to leave off with Jon and the fellowship leaving Dragonstone so that 706 could open with them arriving at Eastwatch. A few weeks would probably pass in between the episodes. Then we probably see Jon and his party ranging north over a few days or so, plenty of ways to showcase this visually, films do it all the time. Take Lord of the Rings for example in this scene and it's less than a minute long.
We know that Gendry runs back to Eastwatch right after Thoros is attacked by the bear. Thoros dies overnight so the Raven would get to Dany not long after. Dany and Tyrion discuss the situation. Tyrion doesn't think it's a good idea, but Dany goes anyway. Tyrion watches from the cliffs as Dany and her dragons fly off. Then my guess is it transitions back to the North where Jon and the fellowship are continuing to journey north and encounter The Night King and the army of the dead a day or two after the bear attack and then Dany arrives to save them.

How long are they in the North for? I mean to go from Dragonstone, to beyond the way, explore, send Gendry back to send a raven to Dragonstone and have Dany come north would take months. On the show it may take a few days. It would definitely take a least a month for Jon and the company to travel up there and back so hopefully that's mentioned in dialogue. But the wight hunt itself would probably only be a few days. Plus Dany coming north wouldn't take that long since she's riding Drogon. Everybody will be traveling at the speed of light next season, and I don't think the time passing will be always addressed explicitly in the dialogue. I have not problem with that, but I can see some people complaining about it.

Yeah, but here is what I was getting at, it's that Raven. As we know Bran sends a flock of Ravens to Eastwatch. And I assume Bran will be keeping an eye on things. That's sort of what he does. So if Gendry goes back to Eastwatch with a message o send to Dany, Bran would probably know as those are his Ravens. Which means if Bran wanted to put a rush on it, he may be able to contact Dany via Dream, which be an incredibly cool way for them to meet, get the message to her as fast as possible, make it very convincing, and transition Bran further along into the role of the Three eyed Raven. Not sure if they do that, but it would be cooler if they did.

How the fuck is this video the first result if you search "lotr travel", yet it only has 450 views?

I guess that's a possibility if Daario comes over with the Golden Company.

Still missing the one I want to see the most. Arya and Jon. Holy balls I did think of that one too and forgot to list it. That's huge.

I wonder if Cersei and Jaime will ever fight about Tyrion. She's knows he set Tyrion free, and for some reason, she's been strangely okay with it. Hopefully that will come up.

Cersei has no idea that Tyrion went to Daenerys yet and then became her hand so seeing her reaction to that will be quite interesting.

Cersei steals a bunch of gold from the Tyrells, gets it back to KL, gives as it to the Iron bank, then takes out a loan and hires the Golden Company? Why not skip the middle man and just hire the Golden Company with the money she just took. Why would Braavos even get involved at this point? I don't know it seems very Covfefe to me.

She appears to be aware of Dany's threat as soon as Episode One, so I assume she'd learn of her Hand pretty quickly. A King or Queen's Hand is a well known thing.

Well we know from the leaks that Olenna confesses to killing Joffrey and Jaime lets her off herself instead of him doing it, so I have to imagine there's some talk about that with Cersei, right? He'll come back after the Highgarden scenes and he and Cersei will talk about how the Tyrells plotted against them all along (not sure if Littlefinger will be revealed as involved in that too) and how Tyrion really was innocent. Cersei won't forgive him for killing Tywin but at least the Joffrey bit will lessen some of the hate, perhaps?

Kind of surprised they didn't go to Dany. I know on the show Stannis went to them, but in the books they are more proactive about what they want. Dany would seem like the perfect option for them, she is rich, she needs nothing from them and would probably address the debt once on the throne.

Dany would seem like the perfect option for them, she is rich, she needs nothing from them and would probably address the debt once on the throne. Potentially yes, but I'd imagine they would be planning something since the actor who plays Tycho said he would be back for S8. Before the spoilers and leaks started releasing, I thought they were going to support Dany as well and Tyrion would have broken a deal with them. But my guess is because it's the crown that still owes a debt to them, they would go straight for Cersei since she's on the Throne at the moment. However, Cersei tells Tycho that Dany's rule is unpredictable both financially and politically and somehow he buys into this.

Dany would seem like the perfect option for them, she is rich, she needs nothing from them and would probably address the debt once on the throne. My early guess is that this whole Golden Company/Iron Bank subplot is a way to tie loose ends in Essos and bring Jaqen and Daario back to the show. They are both main cast and I'm not remotely convinced season 6 was the last we saw of them. (Main cast members ALWAYS come back unless they're killed off for good.) Daario is expected to betray Dany in the books and fighting on Cersei's side would be the ultimate betrayal (plus there was something seriously off about the notion of Daario bringing peace to Meereen.... wtf.) And Jaqen likely has links to the Iron Bank that could become more obvious in s8. Euron could also encounter/capture Melisandre while in Volantis (I think this was Konrad's theory) which would also bring her back to Westeros and the main story.
