Nah, I still don't buy this at all. Its about outcome. Who's more evil, Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer? Stalin or John Wayne Gacy? Those should have some pretty obvious answers. Its unpalatable, but after this episode, its the same with Daenerys vs Cersei.
Perception is key.
In a time and place where cannibalism is a way of life, is it Evil to them, or is it Evil because you were bought up to believe that cannibalism is Evil?
Take a sparrow, it still eats the flesh of its own kind, it doesn't know any better.
Hitler did atrocious acts over YEARS, not in one instance because of rage, he hated Jews and tested on them for years... I don't know who or what the others you mentioned done... if they did acts of killing for their own beliefs that contradict the beliefs of us so called righteous people... then they are perceived as evil... again... perception is key, your perception is yours (prerogative) as is my perception... Queen Lannister is and has done MORE Evil acts in comparison to Daenerys. Unwritten wars killing mass amount of people were waged just over the killing of one person... tribes and nations wiped out, were they evil in their action? Early American settlers and soldiers wiped out many native tribes to the point that there isn't any bloodline of them, just remnants... are they evil for wiping them out? Again... perception, even the English are known for their atrocities in Canada, Australia and other countries like India and so forth... are they Evil, their acts were. Again... perception.

I've also stated multiple times that there are some things that have irritated me, or things that I believe they could have done better. That being said, they've done an excellent job of giving as a truly tense and amazing spectacle, even if they haven't always used the exact military strategies all the internet experts would have lol.
You are right... there isn't much of anything left to surprise us... maybe Cersei will rise from the rubble as the Undead Queen... or her unborn child... even now... here I am theorycrafting the next major turning point... or the unborn child is kept alive by the Fire God or something like that.
Yup... one(1) episode left... woot.
