there's just too many things technically wrong with the battle formation to really pick apart (everything lined up in reverse order, i.e. spikes/trench, infantry, artillery, cavalry, all outside of force-multiplying castle walls) so you kind of have to turn your brain off and get swept up in the drama.
but you don't even see a single wight on fire in the distance from that 30 second dothraki engagement. did not a single one of them successfully land a sword strike? or was the whole thing about wights being flammable not really applicable anymore? maybe that's why just laying themselves down on the fire trench worked, instead of creating a bigger fire like I would have expected.
