Also! If the water stopped the army of the dead from approaching our heroes, why was it okay for them to go *into the water* to chain up the dragon (with the magical chains that appeared from nowhere)?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
This season overall, but the last episode in particular, was not large with the logic. Honestly, the writing on the show often does not live up to its spectacular production values.
Talking about production values, here is an amazing post by Tom & Lorenzo on the costumes on the show this season: [link]
Some really nice insights there.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I feel like "behatted wildling" is the new "redshirt" Oh, the about-to-be dead guy has a hood? He's clearly no one we care about.
Yeah, I was basically expecting any/all of the Stupid Expedition except Jon and Sandor to die. And they kept faking us out on that front. I've been expecting wight dragon, so that was less surprising than Random Undead Chains...This is not a compliment.
I feel like I missed something in the "send Brienne to KL" plot beat, so I assume it was necessary to set up future plot, and that is 100% why it is happening*, and the whole Winterfell situation seems weird and dumb and poorly-communicated to the audience.
The "get a wight" plan makes EVEN LESS SENSE if Dany is half a day's flight from seeing the army of the dead herself. Because ain't no way Cersei cares. Cersei has run out of fucks.
* I will totally be paying some attention to the way this plays out, as it may give some clue as to future book happenings...I doubt much else of this will, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think the Night King was keeping them there long enough for a dragon to show up so he could turn one. They got played.

It is known.
If the show then has Sansa try to mount a preemptive deadly strike against her long lost sister with whom she has just been united, Ima gonna cut a bitch.
I am still holding out for Sansa on the Iron Throne, with Arya as her Hand. I'm pretty sure it won't happen, but it would make me so happy.

Ah! That makes a lot of sense.

Herding cats for fun
Sansa and Arya have all the skills; together they should be stellar. Murder Littlefinger and have some lemon cakes already.
