2. Euron's sneak attack. Are we honestly to believe a fleet of 1,000 ships... ONE-THOUSAND FUCKING SHIPS... cannot be spotted in enough time to give at least a 60-second warning before they attacked? Regardless of it being night and overcast, Yara's fleet was not small either and without doubt, one of the ships in front would have seen his huge fucking fleet approach. Not to mention the complete and utter suspension of disbelief that Eurons ship somehow magically found and attacked Yara's directly, and on the very first attack of the fight no less. Again, lazy, terrible writing with zero knowledge of sea warfare.
Yes. You don't sneak attack with 1000 ships. You have scouts, but no one sails into that kind of ambush unawares. This writing flub is worse than the Arya chase scene with the waif. Ep. 3 has me befuddled on the Unsullied with the Lannister army as well. Dany has a spy master, and yet no one notices the army leaving Castily Rock, or marching towards High Garden? And, again, another surprise at sea. Like are Ironborne/ Greyjoy's ninja pirates?

I doubt GRR would make these type of strategic and tactically blind mistakes.
