Lets not dumb it down. The current focus on this page is "why didn't Cersei kill Dany" but its not because a character did something dumb - mistakes by characters happen and that's part of any story. The problem is that its wildly outside of established character, solidified themes, and ignores the current scope of events in the story.
Cersei is one of the most deliberate and savage opportunists in the show. It makes no sense to spare Dany. But worse, it truly appears in the show that those weren't even the stakes at hand. We're shown a vulnerable, small army staring at vastly superior numbers and weapons and no one on the screen even shows a hint of understanding the situation when a few seasons ago people would be shytting themselves. Ok.... keep it going. Then you have people arguing multiple sides of "Dany shouldn't burn down KL" at length. Its absurd. War is supposed to be clean now? Since when? Its one thing to reflect and misunderstand previous context but even less than 30 minutes prior Jon "Honorable" Snow says he's ready to starve them out - as if that's somehow better than being killed.
There's numerous conflicts up and down this one episode. Jamie fukking Lannister was allowed to walk out of Winterfell without so much as paying his bar tab. No escort, did as he pleased, and even got to fukk couple of times. Jon can keep the secret of his resurrection and even convince those around him to downplay it as best they can because he doesn't want to be a hero or lord - but he can't shut up about his lineage at all and the moment he gets even slight resistance in conversation he tells anyone.
Then you've got past stuff just throw in the bushes. Sansa has never respected Jon and you'd think that it'd be a scene worth having, since we're just throwing character left/rights to the wind, to show her reaction the family b*stard being the person on the throne - especially considering how she was ready to throw her entire family away to be Joffrey's trophy wife. Development can still exist but instead they emphasize dumb shyt like Hound not wanting p*ssy. There's tons of shyt that doesn't sit right that has nothing to do with "how did x army move so fast" but to say that Varys has a bad read on Dany's character after spending so much time spying on her before she was even relevant is just asinine and shows clear lack of fukks given by the writers.
Obviously I and others can go on... but if you want to dismiss stuff for the sake of dismissing it then cool but lets not pretend that this is people just hating to hate.
These are mostly nitpicks.. I can apply the same to any movie thread in this forum that ain't perfectly written, certain popular movies around here that nobody seems to be bringing up a lot of shyt that don't make sense. I'll refrain from spoiler territory but you know what I'm talking about.
Even if I agree with some of what you said, this whole "Cersei could have killed everyone" thing doesn't hold true to me. You do realize that the only reason Rhaegal got killed was because A) they were caught off guard but most importantly... and I stress importantly.. it was pointed out in this very episode that he was hurt and he needed to rest and Dany couldn't wait around because of the rightful heir plot that would be her demise.. so she took a chance and Rhaegal got killed.
The scorpions wouldn't have done shyt to Drogon. They could have fired at him but they would have missed and they would all be french toast right now

The worse part is I think the writers really want us to believe she’s smart.

I could live with it cause it was an enjoyable scene, my way of rationalizing him being allowed in was cause he was Jaime and Tyrion’s man last time they checked and Winterfell’s guards already proved they weren’t shyt during the Arya scene a while back

You can be critical of a lot of things on this show but don't ignore shyt that was right there in the episode to fit your agenda. They told you why it was a bad idea for Rhaegal to be out there but they also have been telling you why Dany is rushing to get this done..

The internet is also the only place where cats assume whether or not people are happy based on if they can over look poor writing in a TV show.
Which is
to me.Most of the same cats in here criticizing this season, been die hard fans since day 1. Said this has the potential to be the GOAT. Praised it for years.
But since they're pointing out flaws now....they're miserable and never have anything positive to say.
shyt is crazy, man. If there was a small, vocal minority shytting on this season I could maybe understand your point. Fans been going in on social media....RT....IMDB....critics too. I don't fault people for liking this season but "you seem miserable" is not the card to play here. Most people seem to agree the writing fell off a cliff after "Beyond The Wall" last season, and never recovered.

And I'mat "GRR Martin told them how it ends!"....they had the books to go off of and he still passive aggressively criticized the show when it fukked up the source material..
The 60 minutes interview was a few weeks ago. He said point blank they had conferences about the ending and he also said that they have been more faithful than 99% of shows and movies that are based on novels..
Now, you can say he's full of shyt.. fine. That's fine but you have no proof that he's full of shyt because he didn't finish the books. So we can either sit here and say what he said or we can get into what you really think he thinks.. which is all speculation and I don't like to get into speculation
one of those reddit comments referenced the real life hate between the Bronn actor and lena headley hate, so if they wanted to get Bron some screen time they had to think of some shyt for him to do
