Director David Nutter says CGI prevented Jon Snow from giving Ghost a proper goodbye — ‘Since the direwolves are kind of CG creations, we felt it best to keep it as simple as possible … It played out much more powerfully that way.’


I can't even say that scene affected me all that much given that ghost hasn't been part of the show at all. I wasn't even sure he was still alive before seeing him in the battle episode. Forgetting the lack of a goodbye, I wasn't even sure why ghost had to go north with Tormund as opposed to just staying in winterfell.
