Just sit and think about how stupid this all is. Maybe that's the point, maybe all the brilliant minds have been systematically killed over these years of war. Doesn't make for great TV mind you to watch a bunch of dunderheads run around in ill conceived war.

But you can't rail against it for being unrealistic. The maginot line is a real thing, man.
In my opinion your most substantive complaint is about how varys did not know that the lords of the reach were in kings landing talking to the queen in a highly public setting, or that the lannisters had moved 3/4 of their army out of casterly rock.
But then, as someone said, maybe he's playing both sides. Danny's stupid threats about burning him alive and all that.
