It's just laziness. If the show wanted to be more realistic, they could have had Dany and her contingent standing way further from the wall. And they could have had her surrounded by more soldiers.

But they left out a bunch of soldiers and had everyone move in close to it was easier to get the shot. Overall, it's a minor issue. The scene was a parlay and it got the job done. No reason to nitpick about it too hard. We didn't gain or lose any major narrative direction by their lazy film technique.

How to improve the last episode:

Have a scene with Sansa struggling with the truth of Jon's parentage. Not with Tyrion but with Arya or Bran. Give her some reasoning for breaking her oath to Jon.

Don't have Dany's army travel by ship. The entire army travels on land to KL, to bypass the entire power of the Greyjoy fleet. Give more breathing room for conflict to arise instead of a few looks and sudden talks of treason.

Jon has a proper goodbye with Ghost (this actually means something to him, the direwolves are such a huge part of the Stark identity). Having Ghost stay with Bran would make way more sense than him going with Tormund.

All in all, nearly 90% of all the incredibly bad writing would be solved with better pacing. A 10 episode season, or even better, 2 seasons (The Long Night & The Last War) to end the show would make everything far more watchable. A lot of these choices are simply made because there is either not time to flesh character interactions out or because certain things need to happen for the ending to be somewhat logical but there is no time for rational actions by characters.

i have to agree with a few of those but bran with ghost i dont think so. Bran dosent identify himself as bran anymore

but sansa breaking her oath was normal, she dont want to bow for dany and having jon as the king would provide the north with the king they want

Why is everyone hating on the directors/writers and acting like GRRM isn't directly involved in the show or hasnt divulged how the story unfolds/ends up? Its not a case of 'oh no we've overtaken the books, lets make our own shit up'

Are you thick?

All moaning about book material.. i bet none of you have actually read them. The show has almost always been different from the books in terms of delivery anyway.. even some key arcs are massivly overlooked or just completly ignored.

Blah usually just ends up like mr strawman with randos on here but hes the only one talking sense in this thread. Fucking retards stop watching.. or stay playing on reddit.
