Devastating losses from the war leaving few left to fight the WWs would,give that suspense too. And Cersei is smarter than that. She will do what she can,to,survive and wait,to,plot another day. Remember what Balon Greyjoy said. No man has ever died from bending the knee and he may rise again w blade in hand. She could cut a,deal,to,stay alive and devote,her forces to,the fight against the WWs. Why anyone would allow her to live tho is another question.Yeah, I just don't see a series that is entirely based on scheming and plotting to get the throne, taking that off the table for the final season. The series is called "Game of Thrones" not "Can we beat the Zombies." Let's face it, the white walkers are cool and all, but having the throne resolved this season would make the final season anti-climactic. At no time in the series has there been just a single major plot line. It would make no sense to have a final season where the entire plot was just about beating the walkers.
Yes, HBO decided to call the show Game of Thrones, but the creator calls it "A Song Of Ice and Fire". Only the first book is called A Game of Thrones. The books we are supposed in now are The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The series is about plotting yes, but the underlying theme has been the oncoming Winter and how to survive. "A Song of Ice and Fire" sure sounds like its a battle between the forces of cold (Winter Walkers) and those that control the fire (dragons). Why wouldn't it be mostly focused on scheming to this point, most the world doesn't know of the oncoming threat.
