I went back and watched the episode again on my laptop with the display as bright as I could make it...it's still damn dark. Way too dark. I get the symbolism of night and winter and all that but sheesh it would have been nice to actually be able to see what was going on.
As for the battle...I don't really know what to think. Jon had faced the dead before as had others. I would have thought there was a better plan than to send the Dothraki on a suicide mission that we all knew wasn't going to slow the dead down. But, anyone sent in first was going to get slaughtered. I guess the Dothraki drew the short straw. The fire on their blades should have helped a little but it sure didn't seem to.
I don't think fighting them during the day was an option. The dead weren't waiting for dawn so there wasn't much choice but to go with their timetable on that.
They got rid of most of the secondary characters...now we see how the rest washes out. - In the game of thrones you win or you die. - let's see how that plays out.
