Why everyone in King's Landing should be scared of Cersei
Warning: Here be spoilers for everything up to Season 6, episode eight. If you haven't watched the episode, you're probably just lost.
In the most recent Game of Thrones episode, King Tommen, cementing his place as one of the lamest kings in Westeros history, proclaimed that he would eliminate the long-standing tradition of trial by combat. *cue the Mountain looking disappointed*
Never one to take bad news lying down, Cersei plotted other plans.

As the court goes milling out, creepy former maester Qyburn, who gave us the zombie Mountain, said to Cersei, "That old rumor you told me about, my little birds investigated."
"And?" Cersei asked. "Is it just a rumor or something more?"
"More," he creepily replies with his creepiness. "Much more."
While we aren't exactly sure what this rumor is, it probably has something to do with the suspected stores of wildfire hidden all over the city of King's Landing, just waiting for someone to ignite it into a green, devastating bonfire.
As Jaime told Brienne in Season 3:
"Aerys [the Mad King] saw traitors everywhere, so he had his pyromancer place caches of wildfire all over the city. Beneath the Sept of Baelor and the slums of Fleabottom. House, stables, taverns. Even beneath the Red Keep itself."
We were not the only ones to jump to that conclusion.
Again, we're not totally sure, but this might be what happens next episode, or during the show's longest season finale yet.
We will definitely be watching, with marshmallows at the ready, hoping to make some green s'mores.
