Again, it's very different from the book, you can't venture into a character's mind like in the books, you have to show the audience if you want them to get into it (similar to Stannis and Mel getting it on).
Also, they may have also felt that Jon's plotline in ACoK was a bit slow and just added a bit of intrigue.
(that said, I agree with you, I personally don't like it as I don't see how they'll keep the Craster story in accordance with the general story in the book)
