And don't get me started on the whole 'who the hell lands their dragon on the ground during a battle' question.

I would suggest you never, ever watch The Walking Dead.
The folks in GoT are friggin' military geniuses compared to TWD.
If I were planning the battle, no matter what I'd of had the Dothraki charging head on in total darkness into an army of the undead. They were poison to Westeros and would have brought nothing but disaster and ruin if they'd of remained, trashing villages, taking slaves, etc.
