Cat having an affair with Littlefinger is really a wild stretch, especially as Sansa isn't even her oldest child.
Why???
Ned was away alot
She thought he brought HIS bastard into her home to be raised w her lawful children
Maybe Sansa was revenge sex

I guess using the term "loves" in relation to Littlefinger's obsession w Sansa was the wrong choice
Just consider-- he could have seen Arya as the fulcrum to move his world, his fortunes but he didn't--he always focused on Sansa...
Eventhough Arya was Catelyn's daughter it was Sansa he was drawn too
Maybe because she was older but maybe something else
There is a significant deviation between the books and the HBO series regarding Ramsay Bolton's bride at Winterfell.

In the book, Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) supplies a supposed Arya Stark to the Boltons in order to cement their claim to Winterfell, but in fact the young girl is Jeyne Poole, the daughter of Winterfell's steward, Vayon Poole. Littlefinger keeps Sansa Stark for himself, travelling to the Vale and passing Sansa off as his bastard daughter, Alayne Stone.

Book+show logic

LittleFinger has never been to winterfell(book), Cat has not been left Winterfell since the war was over(show)

I really don't see the Stark kids as rivals at this point. Jon and Sansa disagree about leadership decisions, but she's realistic nowadays - she has to know the lords and soldiers will follow Jon over her. Jon is known as a bastard, but a very, very claimed bastard, having been directly raised and trained by Ned, and having been appointed Lord Commander in his own right further adds to his close-enough-to-noble vibe. Sansa might not think that's fair, but it is what it is. Also, note that her arguments with Jon have mostly circled around him needing to be harder and more defensive/cautious - she's been doing the opposite of trying to set him up for a fall. Littlefinger would love for them to be rivals, but I think she sees through him now. Sansa is stronger and safer with Jon as her close ally, and security is her thing now. I don't see her splitting with him UNLESS he does something to endanger her. I could actually see her proposing a paper marriage once his true parentage is known, consolidating her bloodline claim with his elective claim.

Arya has zero interest in leadership and Bran is too weird even for the northerners.

I believe it was established that Cat hadn't seen Littlefinger between leaving the Riverlands with Ned, and encountering LF in King's Landing in Season 1. In any case, there was nothing in her demeanor in their shared scenes to suggest intimacy past or present. She was very obviously not into him. Also, if LF thinks he's Sansa's father, then his creeping isn't just creepy, it's incestuous - he tried to make out with her at the Eyrie.

Well, if I were Cersei, and I knew dragons were flying in the air, myth has it that they are attracted to the smell of death and decay. So, I would just have a large group of slaughtered animals laying in an open field, and when one of the dragons comes down to feed, take out the harpoon and nail the sucker right in the eye ball.

I might be wrong on this, but I think pureblood Targaryens have some form of psychic abilities, like how Daenerys was able to communicate to Drogon when she needs him the most, so I think she is going to sense the Targaryen in him. If not, then either it will be the dragons taking a liking to him, or if he is involved in an accident where he touches or falls into flames or fire, and he comes out of it unscathed.

There have been numerous references to how much King's Landing stinks, literally. Apparently sanitation isn't one of its attractions, so maybe they wouldn't even have to create bait.

Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I saw something which I've seen represented on screen many times...a fire hydrant which had been knocked over, causing this tremendous 30 foot high fountain of water to shoot up like a reverse waterfall. Very impressive in person.

It struck me that what is needed against the dragons is some sort of water cannon, or if Qyburn can come up with some sort of chemical fire retardant, it shoots that. I'm figuring that any creature that can withstand the internal high temperatures needed to create fire breath, probably could not tolerate a rapid cooling or extinguishing of the heat source. When the dragon opens it mouth to munch someone, blast em with ultimate super soaker.

This sounds too much like fangirls wanting Sansa and Jon not to be related by blood at all so they can fall in love and not have it be incest.

However, I have always wondered about Arya. If any child is the result of revenge sex, I see it being Arya.
