They just got ambushed. It happens. It's war.

To be fair, it doesn't really happen when one side has complete air superiority. You know the map here - you know Storms End and Kings Landing are essentially Kansas City and St. Louis - having a goddamn dragon and not doing basic reconnaissance is pretty silly stuff.
You could have her go out scouting, see the slew of ships/scorpions, dodge a few arrows and return back saying "oh shit - Plan B; they've got air cover..." and not force yet another storytelling device through raw stupidity.
I'm not sure how you get Missandei captured at that point but they're writers, they can figure something out.
Again, that was my only real big complaint about this episode though. There was a lot of 'old school' GoT here with one big tactical/logical ****up that was obviously just a mechanism to write out another dragon and try to put some stakes in the fight to come.
