Dorne?

Daenerys and the North need an army and Dorne is the only one that hasn't committed forces to anybody. They would however have a reason to fight against Cersei.

And nobody is saying anything about the fact that Obsidian is brittle as hell, and most of those weapons would have fractured on the first hit. But anyway, carry on...
I would mention that it is all a make believe TV series, but the nerds will have a ****. Carry on...

The Godwood is a sanctuary within the castle’s walls. The wights scaled the wall, the giant barged through the gatehouse and the dragon collapsed the wall. Everything they did was to gain access to the sanctuary and surround Bran. Not to mention that the Night King knows where Bran is, no reason to see what he sees.

Why Bran warg'ed? Ask the writers, because as I already said it is nonsensical.

The whole battle plan was designed to direct the undead to Bran, because that was the direction the Night King would move in which he did.

The whole dragon battle was all show. Once the Long Night hit them, mankind was all 'blind'. Strangely though, they could lit the wall, but the trench had to be magically lit...

God's wood is on the side and has its own entrance... the white walkers attacked head on and had to make 3 breaks to get to the wood past the courtyard.

In TV series logic, the entire Dornish Kingdom, Reach, Stormlands, and Westerlands were wiped out in a single battle each. They're like the night King, kill the leader and the entire kingdom collapses into nothing.

Danny roasts the red keep...

Jon kills Dany because she's gone mad. Jon denounces his claim and ventures beyond the wall to the ''real'' north with what is left of the Wildlings. Among the Wildlings and beyond the wall is really the only time Jon has ever felt a part of something.

Arya slips on someone's face and disappears. Sansa - as head of the last major house standing - takes the throne as the Seven Kingdoms get the ruler Tywin Lannister said they need; a just, fair yet stern and smart ruler. Sansa isn't naive anymore and is wise to intrigue. She's also not likely to inflict undue suffering on you having suffered it herself.

Does no-one just watch TV or movies as disposable entertainment anymore? Do we have to analyse every minute detail to death?

I blame my eduation. Had to read books from Gr 3 to 12 and then forced to analyze them in depth... meh. More satisfying to analyze sci-fi TV shows instead. :)

So who is going to end up killing Cersei?

Here are my top 5 in order from most likely (1) to least likely (5):
1. Sansa Stark - She has been through hell under Cersei and has a score to settle.
2. Jaime Lannister - He will most likely kill her to defend Tyrion or another important character (Dany/Jon)?
3. Tyrion - Again, only to save another character - maybe his brother?
4. Arya - A bit obvious and not my favourite option. But heck she has it all going for her to off the queen bitch.
5. Jon - King vs Queen showdown. Possible but unlikely.

The “little brother” is Jaime.

After R+L=J, this is one of the oldest and best loved fan theories in the ASoIaF world, and we’re basically in the fan fiction portion of the show now.

They lit the trench up. The living dead could have surrounded the entire keep, but no, we were served with an battle written by script writers. Fan service.

At the end it doesn't matter, the living dead made it to the sanctuary and surrounded Bran, then they ended it as cheaply as possible.

Could be tricky with one good hand and one ...erm... mitten-hand?

I can see Jaime doing it. Love turned to hate...
Nah, Arya, Because she gets to kill all the baddies.
She'll sit on the throne as well, and it will turn out that she's another secret Targaryan who can ride dragons, but she's actually also r'hllor's avatar incarnate as well as the drowned god, the god of death and the seven other gods.

How Melisandre's Prophecy About Arya on Game of Thrones Could Affect Cersei
But first, let’s rewind back to season 3 when Melisandre and Arya first met. Back then, Melisandre told Arya, “I see a darkness in you. And in that darkness, eyes starring back at me. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes. Eyes sealed shut forever. We will meet again.”.

...

Melisandre repeats the (rearranged) phrase to Arya about shutting “brown eyes, green eyes, and blue eyes.” Arya realizes in this exact moment that she is fated to kill the Night King, who has blue eyes. Arya runs off, stabs the Night King and saves all of humanity.

Now, Arya can seemingly get back to her kill list, which she has revised. At the very top of that list is Cersei who — you guessed it — has green eyes.

It is set in stone. I also believe Arya is carrying Gendry's son... the throne already have an heir.

Because the phrase is rearranged some people believe that it indicates the order of killing, Brown is Frey, Green is Littlefinger, and Blue the NK.

Littlefinger did not have green eyes though?
