Here's another question, thinking ahead (and there aren't any spoilers to this question, just based on previous episodes):
the big plan seems to be- go north of the Wall, capture an undead wight, and bring it back to convince Cersei that... the end of the world is coming.
Anyone see the problem with this (something Dany et al don't know)?
Cersei already has a zombie of her own, the Mountain. Qyburn made it for her.
Cersei could ask Qyburn, her Hand, for an objective analysis, and he might say:
our zombie is more controlled and docile, theirs is feral. And has blue eyes. Interesting, not sure why that is. It's certainly a different technique.
Danaerys has traveled deeply into Essos, was able to procure dragons from who knows where; the rumor is that she did magic to convert petrified eggs back to viable ones. Other rumors about her, too, surrounding why the Dothraki worship her. She's been a lot closer to the Lands of Shadow than we have. We don't know what she can do, but this is something we've already done ourselves.
Bottom line- this could be a trick, to lure us into opening the gates and exposing our forces. She may feint going North, but her dragons and light calvary can quickly turn about and catch us in the open field.
If I were advising her, I'd at least bring this up as a disclaimer.

Realistically ANY plan predicated upon Cersei voluntarily joining in a United war effort in good faith is dumb. Like really dumb. Danny has people around her that should know this, which is why I don't understand this plot line at all.

You're overthinking it. Cersei is pretty much ready to agree to an armistice to buy time because she knows she's outmanned on the battlefield. She said as much when talking to Jaime.
