What is funny is in the time the unsullied soldiers lands and captures Casterly Rock, Euron has already:

intercepted and destroyed Yara's fleet (presumably near the Stormlands coast), went back to King's Landing to present his prisoners to queen Cersei and
sailed from King's Landing all the way round the south of Westeros to the Westerlands just in time for Grey Worm to finish capturing Casterly Rock. If you have seen a map for Westeros, this is definitely a loooonnnggg journey.

Presuming the Unsullied transports and Yara's fleet sailed at the same time, Euron must have some really fast ships.

NOTE: Someone told me that since they never showed Euron himself at Casterly Rock or maybe that this was a fleet direct from the Iron islands (which is closer), that he was not there. BUT we do see his flagship, Silence, at the naval attack, it is very unlikely the Ironborn have a another ship like that or that Euron himself has assigned his personal flagship to one of his deputies.

Like I said, we can clearly see Euron's personal ship, Silence, at Casterly Rock. Given his proudness and general attitude I don't think he will give the command of Silence to anybody else, even his direct subordinate. The other scenario that the Greyjoys have a sister ship to Silence is also not that probable.

Also, It's strange that Euron can freely enter and leave Kings landing from the sea, since the strategic location of Dragonstone island depends on its ability to control access to Blackwater bay and therefore King's Landing itself. A fleet as large as Euron's passing through would not be missed by anyone at Dragonstone.

Even if Danerys refuses to directly assault King's Landing, her fleet should have shut down Blackwater bay and put Kings's Landing under naval blockade. This was what Stannis Baratheon did during the War of the Five Kings (when he was in control of Dragonstone) and you can clearly see King's Landing beginning to break down from lawlessness and food riots then. Danerys was planning on besiegeing the city anyway, so this should have been part of her plans.

I couldn't care less about that. I'm just more amped up at the possible spectacle of Danerys wiping out Jaime's army with Drogon and her Dothraki cavalry. Field of fire 2.0!

To be fair to D&D, they are not scriptwriters or novelists, they are screenwriters whose job is to adapt what words are said in the books into an acceptable TV medium. The beauty of the earlier seasons is that they are actually based on GRRM's words and worldbuilding, without the original books as sources, of course la they would feel different to GRMM's work.
