Speaking of taking Drogon into battle, there is now a question over what she does next: we know there'll be a battle at King's Landing, but on and off the battlefield Daenerys has some huge questions to answer.

There are question marks over her alliance with Jon and the North, if that can even be addressed prior to things kicking off. But there are also questions over her mental state. The idea of Daenerys becoming the Mad Queen has been kicked around for some time, but it's never felt more pertinent than it does right now.

At the very least, she is mad in a different sense, with the deaths of Rhaegal and Missandei sending her into a furious rage. How that ultimately manifests is going to be one of the biggest deciding factors in Game of Thrones' endgame.
