Eh you're right. As a book reader I'm annoyed at what they choose to shorten or omit with the blanket reasoning of "only ten episodes brah" only to turn around with episodes like this one, which while not of no consequence, could contain more events of consequence than they do. I think some of the concluding chapter stuff could have been handled last episode which might have allowed the major events (red wedding, jon's battle, etc) to breath easier.
