Someone else was joking that for just a moment Jon had to believe he was a wizard because he screamed at the dragon and... it worked, the dragon actually died. :-)
I also just rewatched this up (bootleg higher resolution file) and it was so much better being able to *see* what was going on, but yes, some of the tactics made very little sense. Why send the Dothraki out into the darkness when they could have just waited for the dead army to come to them when they could see what they were doing? What was Ghost doing for the whole episode? Are we going to find out what Bran was doing when he was seemingly just flying around doing nothing? (I want to believe that there was a point to some of this stuff.)
Agreed that any further deaths will feel wasted. To die defending humanity from the army of the dead is noble. To die over which queen sits on the Iron Throne feels kind of pointless. Like, I hate Cersei, but if I were Tormund or any of the other northern characters, I'd have no interest in risking my life to depose her.
