There are 3 main castles and a bunch of towers. The only castle actually manned anymore is Castle Black.
There is a sea, but wildings have no ships or experience on the sea.
This link is the map of the wall, it might have spoilers (I don't think so), but it does have places labeled. One such label is misleading, as it is referring to Brandon the Builder, who gave the Night's Watch a bunch of land to farm; not Bran Stark from the current story. http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110708124258/gameofthrones/images/c/ca/The_Wall_Map.PNG

Eastwatch and the Shadow Tower are also manned. Qhoran (from season 2, the guy Jon killed after he was captured) came from the shadow tower.
so 100men at black castle and a few dozen at each tower?
eastwatch = port?
so little threat from wildings since they don't have ships nor do they plan on using the port to go south?
Maybe, just maybe, the uncertainty around Stannis' location isn't "bad writing", maybe it's intentional so that the audience won't know where or when he'll show up again.

me thinks the lady protest too muchOlenna already said she had no interest in marrying a Targaryen so she seduced Luthor Tyrell.
I don't know if the show ever details how many men are at the other 2 forts. I would suspect it is mentioned in Season 2 when Mormont decides to go out in force.
Yes, Eastwatch is a port.
So do giants and wooly mammoths turn into zombies? If they do Im heading south to Mereen and join Darios posse.

Well, they have been shown riding zombie horses...
Entertainment Weekly said:'Game of Thrones' showrunners promise: Best finale yet
The Battle of Castle Black may have been the biggest action set-piece in Game of Thrones history (and probably TV history, too), but next Sunday’s hour of the HBO hit could be the show’s best episode ever.

Titled “The Children,” the 10th episode of the fourth season will break a narrative pattern that’s been set by the show in previous years. Usually the ninth episode contains a major character death or battle, and the finale is a quieter hour (by Thrones standards, at least) that wraps some storylines while launching other threads for next season. Expect “The Children” to check in with all the key characters and for some major drama to unfold.
“It’s the best finale we’ve ever done, bar none,” Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss said in a statement. “The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new [music] cues from Ramin Djawadi—all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced. We’re immensely proud of ‘The Children.’ And a little intimidated by the episode, because now we have to get back to the business of season five and figure out a way to top it.”
Of key interest is the fate of Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), who was sentenced to death at the conclusion of the eighth episode. But there’s also Jon Snow (Kit Harington) marching off to assassinate Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds), Arya (Maisie Williams) setting a new course, and you cannot have a Thrones finale without at least one surprise involving the dragon queen (Emilia Clarke). Expect “The Children” to be a longer-than-usual episode, too — HBO’s schedule says the finale is 66 minutes.

Yes, Eastwatch is a port.
Or the battle raged until dawn.
I only hear that dude's NES Keytar version of the theme song now.
It was almost dawn when the battle began. Jon said that the climbers wouldn't be able to reach the top of the wall before dawn.
