It was a terrific episode full of drama and the wildfire was cool, but IMO, the spectacle of battle hardly compares to Bastards and Hardhome, in large part b/c it was fought in the dark. I just re-watched a few clips on youtube, and there are really just a few brief minutes of actual combat.

IIRC, even the battle at The Wall had extensive combat scenes along with the siege itself (which was pretty cool with the giants and wall climbers).

In terms of pure spectacle, Battle of the Bastards was one of the best battle scene ever filmed. Right up there with Saving Private Ryan, LOTR, and Braveheart.
