We see the big picture, from King's Landing to the Wall. We see every battle and its outcome. We know the private lives and inner motivations of each major political player. We're not SUPPOSED to be kept in the dark, except where it makes sense from a storytelling perspective, and I don't think this episode met that criteria. They weren't trying to hide anything for dramatic effect, they were just clumsy in their execution.

The final version of the episode was apparently significantly rewritten by the producers.

Yeah, but he didn't even come into the equation in the books. He was a mere playing piece

I liked this episode, but the battles were confusing and kind of a let-down.

I haven't read the books, and the whole ending was quite a confusing sequence.

You're right, but I simply saw it as a way to work with their tight budget
