Lets be realistic as it's a show after all. If every action/drama show or movie played out like real life they all would be ended the moment a hero is caught because they would be immediately executed rather than tossed in a cell or tied up in a chair where the good guy always escapes to turn the tables at the end. This isn't like today's military where they have 24 hour radar surveillance that could pick up a dragon incoming and put up the defences. Dany could fly in out of nowhere and have her dragons burn the castle down with Cercei in it at any time and in a real life scenario that's probably what she does but it doesn't make for compelling TV to have the conflict ended swiftly.
