That would have happened far before now though. That happens in Qarth when the Warlocks stole her dragons and hid them in the House of the Undying. I think they actually showed this in the series.
In the books, Quentin Martell plays the role that Tyrion plays with the dragons in Mereen.

She is no longer a Khaleesi since her husband died. I would even think it an insult of her stature since 'acquiring' the Unsullied. But I am ready for her to kick some ass anyway. It was a great speech.

Did anyone else think that Sam's family home was gigantic? like overly large?

She is still a khaleesi; she's a khaleesi whose khal had died and has been sent to live with the other living khaleesis in the Dosh Khaleen.

Yeah, Horn Hill is the seat of a marcher lord. That sprawling mediterranean castle was a tad too large. I imagine that was to show the 'importance' and grandeur of Lord Randyll Tarly.

For those who care, here is a collection of all of the officially released chapters of The Winds of Winter.

Also--more for you to doubt--Tommen is the one who started the war. Acting out of mercy, because he didn't want Bran to have to endure as a cripple, he hired the assassin who tried to kill Bran, which is what caused Bran's mom to capture Tyrion, and all the dominoes that fell after that.
Mostly mercy, his motive. Bran had beat him up pretty good during sword practice.
I thought it was established that Joffrey sent the assassin!

Wut?! LOL!!
I'd say the most likely person to send that particular assassin is Cersei... As always from her, a half-assed plan that went wrong.
But it would have the added bonus of incriminating her hated dwarf of a brother-killer-of-mother... and that worked!

Can we please return to the reality of the show without all of these unstable nuances?

In the books Jaime admitted to Caitlin that he and Cersei considered and rejected the idea. Later both Tyrion and Jaime independently worked out that Joffrey had sent the assassin. Not direct evidence but likely to be true.
