Anyone looking at the IMDB after the 100 best-rated series episodes of all time will be the legendary Game of Thrones episode in second place The battle of the bastards find. With 9.9 out of 10 possible points, the 9th episode of season 5 shows that Highest average rating in the fantasy series and overall only exceeded by the Breaking bathroom episode of Ozymandias.
Actually, the episode staged by Miguel Sapochnik is therefore beyond any doubt. The title -giving battle between the armies by Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) is one Action highlight par excellence. But of all things in this furious scene there is a small drop of bitterness: Fans have been bothering on a matter for years that makes little sense when you take a closer look.
Game of Thrones: This is the logic error in the battle of the bastards
It is the Deus-Ex-Machina moment in the said episode: When Jons Trupp is encircled by Ramsay’s army and apparently looking towards his defeat, Sansa Stark suddenly dipped (Sophie Turner) and Kleinfinger (Aidan Gillen) with the knights of the green valley as Rescue at the last second on.
Now you could be bothered by this dramaturgical “trick” of the final turn. The big question, however, is: How did the Arryn army get to Winterfell at all? As Game Rant brings down in detail, it is not that easy. The long way to the battlefield should therefore be lined with crucial obstacles.
Logic problem number 1: The The only country route to Winterfell would have had to lead the knights of the Green Valley along the Maidengraben fortress, but at that time was occupied by Bolton’s forces. In the continued swamps surrounded by inappropriate swamps, they would most likely have been killed by its defense lawyer beforehand.
Game Rant creates the theory that the torn Kleinfinger might have hit an agreement with the pile dwellers of the Haus Reet from Grauwasser Wacht, flanking the Maidengraben to get safe guidance. That brings us Logic problem number 2: The gray water watches is known as an unnecessary castle because it is constantly moving with the water. How could Petyr Baelish lead such negotiations at all?

Ramsay would have found out about the army beforehand
And even if the knights of the green valley had taken the sea route to Winterfell instead of land, it appears Practically impossible that Ramsay does not inform about her appearance would have been and would have known about the “surprise effect”.
So how to turn and turn it, logically, is not the sudden rescue by Kleinfinger’s army on a strict view of the geographical conditions in Westeros. Fortunately, this error error does not change the quality of the episode.
