2) Has it been established that Bran even knew where they were or what they were doing? He's not omnipotent. Close though, I think?
It has literally been established that Bran is specifically keeping tabs on the army of the dead in order to keep Jon and everyone else updated. It is far more reasonable to believe that he would have simply seen them in need of help during one of his many raven wargs than Gendry running and getting help like he did.
That's a good point.
But then I wonder, is it MORE or LESS believable that Bran would happen to be warging at that exact moment or seeing that exact part of the army? Just when they needed help. I think at one point he flies ravens near the Night King and he explodes them or something. OR is it better that the magnificent seven survive of their own accord? Through sending Gendry and him overcoming obstacles to help save them? Instead of just Bran sending a text to Dany somehow. People complain about coincidental timing but turn around and suggest that?
I don't complain about coincidental timing because it's a TV show, I complain that Gendry being able to make that trek in that amount of time doesn't follow the logic that the show previously had.
I get the point you're trying to make but can you be more specific with this line of thought?
Also what amount of time? Does it say specifically? ---
