The fact that everyone on the show seems to believe that showing Cersei a wight would make her stop doing Cersei things is baffling to me.
What i'm thinking is that she accepted have the summit because she has something else in mind. LIke get all your enemies in one place and then try to kill them all at once. This is Cersei after all.
I almost expect her to try to pull a Sept Of Baelor Part 2 except that this time it won't go her way. Maybe Jamie kills her to prevent it or or something like that. But i have an hard time believing Cersei doesn't have some sinister plan in mind. Havig Jon , Dany , Tyrion etc all in one place is a golden opportunity for her much like having the Tyrells , HIgh Sparrow etc all in the Sept when she blew it last season.
I dunno. There's no way Danaerys doesn't come to that meeting with at least Drogon or all the dragons as a show of force. If Cersei tries anything she'll get torched and so will the few allies she has left. I assume Euron will be at this meeting also so his fleet will be ripe for torching as well.
I'm thinking it's more likely she promises to help but then reneges on it later. Why help Jon and Dany? Let the WW wipe them out then she'll have fewer foes to fight.
im more surprised they didn't think about kidnapping cersei and taking her to see a wight vs. bringing a wight to KL. either way is dumb but i mean..I would think Cersei is the "mohammed" in the Mohammed and the Mountain analogy here. why bring the mountain that is the wight?
I think Cersei is too far gone to give a **** about anything but being ruler.
I agree the meeting will just be the bait she needs to try to finish them all off.
She's consumed by hate, power and revenge.
I highly doubt Cersei, if pregnant, will last long enough to deliver the baby. Would go against the prophecy.
I'm willing to bet that she'll be scared ****less by the wight, as every other character was when they first saw one. She might not want to help Daenerys and Jon though. It could be the perfect opportunity to wait for Dany to be weakened by the army of the dead.
Also, Cersei dying in childbirth would be poetic justice for what she did to Tyrion.
I didn't read the last thread, but what main characters does everyone think will die by the end of the season? Two episodes is a lot of time, but I don't really see how they'll be able to fit a Cersei death in.
For me, I still think Arya will kill Littlefinger, and a couple from Jon's North of the Wall search party will bite it as well. For those, I'm guessing one of the Brotherhood guys, and Jorah. The goodbye between him and Danaerys seemed to set the stage for that, IMO.
They already screwed up the prophecy when they had Cersei tell Catelyn in season 1, episode 2 that she had a child that died in infancy.

Also when Jon and Jorah left Dragonstone, Missandei wan't there. Tyrion, and Dothraki were.
I get that she might be busy but that's interesting. Isn't she usually at Danny's side?
That's more a plot hole, really (or by children they mean survived past infancy). They didn't show the prophecy until S5. If she had another child at this point it would be a ridiculous decision that ran contrary to the narrative.
My criticism/observations:
I love the how for what it is. However, I honestly think that this season should have been 10 episodes. This stuff is way way too rushed. With a little more dialogue and story this season would have had no problem getting to 10 episodes. It would have been much better story wise. imo
For 2 at times wooden actors, Jon and Dany do have plenty of chemistry when they're on screen together. I am really enjoying their scenes.
They also could have had more scenes with the Hound and the Brotherhood.
I loved the fact various Magnificent 7 had personal beefs with one another. It made their joining together all the more meaningful.
I would like to know what Bran put in his ravens scroll to the Citadel and Jon. He put enough detail in it where the right people either believed him or understood some of his powers.
**** Cersei, I am kind of sick of Kings Landing and I hope Dany melts that city into the sea. Kill that crazy *****.
The North is all sorts of rushed and it makes it feel like once Jon left for Dragonstone, D&D said, "Crap we forgot about Winterfell, how can we get them in the episode?".
