Great production value and the soundtrack was totally on point for this episode. Horrible battle from a tactical standpoint.
Start the battle by sacrificing an entire army in a head on suicidal cavalry charge against a superior force. Catapults positioned at the front of the formation and sacrificed after the initial volley. Throw away second army in order to light a fire trench. Archers not positioned or taking advantage of the halted undead army until they begin breaking through said trench.
But overall it was an enjoyable episode. Theon went down like a boss. Arya kicked ass and that Night King kill was bloody awesome. The Tyrion/Sansa moment down in the crypt was unexpectedly nice. Lyanna Mormont with the second best kill of the night on that giant.
I was expecting more main character deaths so I am not sure what to think at this point. Also, what happened to all the undead giants and mammoths? Hanging out with the elephants in Essos?
