The Epstein drive is key to making the story actually work though, without it all the travel times would be elongated and the whole thing would fall apart. Honestly I think they did an amazing job of keeping the fictional science to a minimum, including the Epstein drive (although protomolecule stuff is basically magic).
For sure, really helps smooth things over when travel times between conflicts arent like 13 months or years.
It is worth noting though that a show like GoT was at its best when fast travel didnt exist, we'd all just like to forget about those unspeakable later seasons
