Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister dropped another hint she's turning into the Mad Queen

We might not like to admit it, but Cersei Lannister is currently winning in Game of Thrones.

'The Queen's Justice' saw Daenerys left with basically no allies as Jaime Lannister got rid of Olenna Tyrell and Cersei (Lena Headey) got her revenge on Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) for killing her daughter.

And what a revenge it was, with Cersei leaving Ellaria chained up to watch her daughter slowly die from poison in front of her eyes.

As well as being a chilling scene, it turns out that the Game of Thrones showrunners were potentially dropping another hint that Cersei is turning into the Mad Queen, following her use of wildfire in the explosive season six finale.

Cersei's revenge against Ellaria has parallels with the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen, and his punishment of Rickard Stark, Ned's father.

Aerys had Rickard tied up and burned alive as Ned's brother Brandon watched, eventually strangling himself to death to free himself from a noose to reach the sword that could have saved his father's life.

Could this all point to Jaime eventually offing his own sister like he did with the Mad King?

Or maybe Cersei's super-fan, loyal servant Bernadette, will be the one to inadvertently do the deed, if Arya gets wind of how much Cersei trusts her servant and decides to take her face, like she did with Walder Frey.

Game of Thrones continues on Sunday (August 6) on HBO in the US, simulcast in the early hours of Monday morning (August 7) on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
