You make a good point, but I'll note it's from an all-knowing audience's view point, not Cersei's view point, which is what I'm referring to. She doesn't know how long it will be till the WW hit Winterfeld. Dany landed at Dragonstone, which is in the same bay as King's Landing... just minutes away. The expectation could be they all march north together, or sail north together, the show doesn't specify, but the idea is valid. News of the ice wall falling will hasten things though.
Don't see the need for a spoiler tag there but just to keep emos happy I'll wrap my reply in one as well.
Good questions -- I don't know how it works specifically in GOT, but in general the IB is giving money to Queen Cersei Lannister's thrown. Cersei said her Hand Cyburn "has made overtures to the GC in Essos". So Cersei will have the gold, will hire/pay GC, and Euron Greyjoy will transport them, not the IB.
Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but yes I did. A lot of foreshadowing on this in many ways. Remember Melisandre called for the sacrifice of Shireen. It is that crime that caused Jon Snow to tell her to GTFO and if she were ever to return, he'd kill her himself, for the crime of killing that little girl. So, now we have the 2 facts, Jon said he'd kill her if she returned and she knows she will die when she goes back there but she was honestly only ever doing what she thought was needed to aid Azor Ahai and she didn't realize it was Jon Snow until she got closer to him and all signs and visions pointed to him. Now, comes the third foreshadowing clue. She has told Jon repeatedly she can help him defeat the NK.... and she will in the manner the video points to. Taking anyone's life just because it is believed it's required to fulfill a prophecy is not Jon Snow's way. I suspect he'll be egged on more when she again calls for the sacrifice of another child prior to Jon taking out the NK. She'll tell him to sacrifice Little Sam. Of course, Jon wouldn't even consider that and then Bran will tell him there does have to be a sacrifice and Mel is the one who need be sacrificed. WTH? Jon did warn her he would kill her. He will do it and go on to defeat the NK. Anybody suspecting anyone but Jon to be the one, doesn't understand everything always pointed to him. He is Rhaegar's son. He doesn't need to be with Dany to form the Ice and Fire tandem. His is the embodiment of Ice & Fire, half Targaryen and half Stark. He's just with Dany to have sex and then more little Targaryens.
No I haven't but I'd like to after the show is over if and when the final chapter is written. Am familiar with some things I've seen mentioned that are either different from the show or simply not covered in the show. I've seen it theorized that Little Sam is why the NK is now bringing the storm. It's said he was promised to NK and perhaps even suppose to take his place. When the dead last fought the living, it ended with an agreement that was broken when Little Sam was withheld from the NK. Don't know if that theory comes from just a guess or if the book does a whole lot more than the show does to make it appear that way.
What Nc0gnet0 said. After they took off with the gold, I don't remember them getting attacked. I know Jamie is there with Cersei at the end of the last ep, so I assume he arrived with the gold. That scene where the dragon attacks them, I thought that was before they left with the carriage filled with gold, right? = )
