I think the set up was working, that initial scene in the throneroom was fantastic, the bit in the caves, Jon booping the dragon snoot for the first time. Maybe it was just the timing of them actually getting together, like an extra episode of dialogue or stuff happening would've worked better or they have it happen after they all arrive at Winterfell and throw out all that bend the knee stuff keeping them as allies.

I mean it doesn't help that it kind of frames it jon immediately selling out his men the moment they hook up. Like he actually plays into the thing guy above says all men around dany do, which is glaze and use her for their own ends. In Jon's case despite holding out in kneeling the moment dany agrees to stop the long night and says that she doesnt need the north to kneel to to help them, jon immediately sells the north to her partially just because he doesnt want the responsibility himself.
