Dragonstone ignited a new battle: which Queen has the best map? While Daenerys' Painted Table is more practical, in that it has moving pieces, there's something to be said for the detail that poor bloke we see here has out into Cersei's.

And it's the detail of this scene that could be pertinent. When Jaime and Cersei are talking while standing on the map of Westeros, their positions can be made out: she is standing at the Neck, and he the Fingers. Although the Valonqar prophecy of Maggy the Frog wasn't repeated in the show, this seems like a big nod towards it, and some foreshadowing of this actually happening:

"And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."
