I'm having my doubts about Daenerys. She's alternating between "building a better world", and taking her throne "with fire and blood".

Burning Randyll Tarly and Dickon Tarly was just about the most stupid thing she could have done. Cersei has promoted a narrative about "The Mad King's Daughter(TM)"  (Paraphrasing): "when she grew tired of crucifying the noblemen of Mereen, she had her dragons burn them alive". So what does Daenerys do after her first victory? Burn Westerosi noblemen alive.

How did Rickard Stark die, again?

That feeds right into Cersei's narrative.

That's no way to win hearts and minds.

Varys and Tyrion are right to be concerned. It was bad public relations, but worse: She could well turn into her father.
