The White Walkers' main flaw was revealed to be their fear of water in season 7 of the show. However, the Night King's command for the Walkers to rescue the dragon Viserion from the freezing river he plunged into after being pierced by a spear temporarily halted this restriction. The scenario makes it plain that the undead had to descend to the lake's floor to shackle the dragon, although it is unclear how they managed to do this.

Leonard warns his friend and colleague Howard Wolowitz that the elevator in their building stopped working when he attempts to call it. This makes people believe that Howard was unaware of the elevator being broken. Still, some episodes later, we figure out exactly how it broke.
The elevator was broken due to an experiment by Leonard, and Howard was also present when it happened. This raises a question: How could this be news to Wolowitz if he saw it with his own eyes?

#3 The Witcher

Fertility is largely nonexistent in the magical setting of the TV show. In the case of Yennefer, it was a voluntary exchange for the magical prowess and beauty she possessed. The sorceress, meanwhile, is secretly looking for a way to get pregnant again and is even willing to endanger her life to do so.
Viewers find this Yennefer evolution to be quite erratic. She didn't exactly express a wish to have children at the start of the series, after all. After only a few episodes, she becomes fervently interested in having children.

#4 Gossip Girl

The climax's unveiling turned out to be an abject failure. Dan was so shocked by the news about Serena or himself in the series that he couldn't be the Gossip Girl. Furthermore, Dan would never have sent comments regarding his sister Jenny Humphrey's private life to Gossip Girl.
Given all of this, the series finale—in which the character who had harmed other characters so severely finally achieves all of his goals and weds the most gorgeous girl in Manhattan—becomes contentious.

#5 Friends

Fans of the comedy are still unsure of the precise beginning of Chandler and Rachel's friendship. When Rachel barged into the coffee shop in her wedding dress in the premiere episode, Monica introduced her to everyone. This is how they first met.
However, flashbacks later in the show imply that Rachel and Chandler had been friends since they were teenagers. They even shared a Thanksgiving kiss while still in college. The pieces don't quite come together to form a whole picture.

#6 Wednesday

Wednesday moved to Nevermore Academy after she retaliated against hooligans in a really severe way. This move was the last straw for her parent. And, before this, she attended a regular high school.
Her transfer to a school for outcasts makes a lot hole. It's obvious that only unusual children with extraordinary abilities are accepted there. This certainly applies to Wednesday, who has visions. Still, she carefully hides this from her parents and directly makes it clear to viewers that no one knows about her gift. If all this is correct, Wednesday should never have been accepted to Nevermore.

#7 The White Lotus

According to the plot, a group of American vacationers stays at a posh hotel in Sicily. All of the visitors assemble for dinner each night at the hotel's restaurant.
It makes sense from a storyline perspective to keep all the characters together in one location. As guests engage more, there is a greater chance that unpleasant situations will arise and stress levels will rise. However, the circumstance itself appears a little phony.
One issue has troubled fans since the first episode: Why do all the characters dine at the hotel every night when they are in Italy? At times, the characters themselves provide hints about how odd this is. In one episode, one of the characters complains, “I don’t know why they keep bringing us these menus. We already know them by heart.”

#8 And Just Like That...

At first, fans of the show immediately had one big question: Why did;t Carries call an ambulance when she found her husband having a heart attack? The character returns home and finds Mr.Big unconscious in the shower. Instead of calling for an ambulance, she rushes to him and hugs him for a while.
Finally, Sarah Jessica Parker herself commented on this plot hole, explaining that she was trying to play the shock Carrie would've felt in that case. Later, off-screen, her character regained her senses and call 911.

#9 The Office

The characters in The Office's final season finally saw the documentary about their life that had been shot for nearly ten years. They were astonished by what they witnessed, which struck the viewers as a rather inconsistent response. After all, the characters were aware of the filming team, and they readily revealed intimate information about their lives and conducted interviews throughout the series.
