Don't think Dany is in the same position she was before. That group of Dohraki seemed to be looking for her, no? I don't think a bunch of them ascended on her just for sport. Certainly they saw and have heard about the huge dragons she has now, maybe a group saw her riding it. The way they were circling her leads me to believe they're there, for her specifically. Not to attack.
Could be wrong, but not in the same position IMO.
The Lannisters are f'n shattered IMO. Yeah, Cersei had a nice grin at the end but who is in charge, Kevan Lannister?
Jamie is a shell of his former self, Tyrion is off in Mereen, Cersei see above. Tommen is a scared boy locked away in his room because wifey is locked up and he's too afraid to do anything. Myrcella is DOA. We all wanted to see this happen to this family... it just didn't happen the way we'd like I suppose.
Though I don't know why characters always need progression to move. Sometimes regression is a thing, isn't it? Especially in a long format story. Ups and down, always spinning towards freedom, that sort of thing.
