3. Is Daenerys About to Get A Win?

When Daenerys arrived in Westeros, it seemed like there was no way she could possibly lose. She had the Unsullied, Dothraki, Martells, Tyrells, a few Greyjoys, and seasoned advisors like Tyrion, Varys, and Olenna.

Since then, the show has set about levelling the playing field a surprising amount, with Euron's stealth attack and now Jaime pulling a Whispering Wood style move at Casterly Rock and Highgarden. She's lost Dorne and the Reach already, and even taking Casterly Rock is a defeat in victory.

So surely she's due a win soon, right? Of the above armies mentioned, it's the Dothraki - the biggest and most vicious of them - we still haven't seen unleashed, but we know that's about to change. The trailers have showcased a major clash between them and the Lannister forces, set to take place next week, so will that swing things back in Daenerys' favour?

Then there's the question of her children. It's here she'll get her Field of Fire moment, riding in atop Drogon. But is that a case of her just being the dragon, or a necessary step to avoid yet another heavy loss?
