After watching 'The Last Of The Starks', most people were left with mixed feelings of disappointment and shock of an unsatiated progression. The time crunch that the series faces with only less than three hours to tie all the loose ends and troubling questions that fans have is worrisome.

On top of that, Missandei's death has direct implications for Daenerys' actions going forward. The last episode saw the loss of the two of Daenerys' trusted long-standing advisors:
Jorah Mormont, who dies protecting Dany

And Missandei, who was executed in a scene that strikingly resembled Ned Stark's death back in season 1.

Now here's the thing, Daenerys is rapidly growing restless in her quest to sit on the Iron Throne. Instead of letting her army rest and recuperate, she couldn't wait to attack head-on which clearly did not work in her favour at all, considering only one her babies is alive now and ships have been drowned which is a considerably huge loss.
Now, Cersei's proved that she's a monster for executing Missandei despite Tyrion's compelling and moving proposal. However, it's her last words that are majorly impactful: "dracarys," the High Valyrian command Daenerys otherwise uses to order dragonfire. This is the provocation that will drive Dany to drown King's Landing in a lake of fire next episode. Clearly, Daenerys is very, very mad and won't think straight in whatever she plans for Westerosi next.
While the last episode was the first time Dany pronounced out loud how she's destined to sit on the Iron Throne and that she wouldn't let anyone come in the way, one needs to keep in mind, that destiny can be a tricky thing.
Given the clear lack of moral conscience she has been showing lately, including trampling over her advisors, Dany seems to be fated to follow her father's footsteps and become the Mad Queen, the very thing she swore to never become.
So what side does she fall on? Is this her end? What do you guys think?
