It's possible, but I don't think it will happen.
Garlan may die, as he's a skilled fighter and the Tyrells will surely come to arms in the book, so Garland would lead the vanguard of the famly.
But Willas, the heir of Highgarden, is a cripple, he can't fight anymore, and he'll remain safely tucked in Highgarden. Unless someone assasinates him, they'll be fine.
Furthermore, a lot of people expect Willas to end up marrying Sansa by the end of the books.

When Olenna and Daenerys inevitably team up next season to take down Cersei + Yara and the Sandsnakes
Why are the women on this show so badass?

She also would have needed to go to Loras and convince him to run with her before running off, and like Phresh said, it's doubtful she could have done that and gone far enough to not be caught in the fire in 2 minutes.

If there's a will there's a way, she may have made it out alive but severely burnt or something, if she ran right when she suspected something was wrong. We don't know at what time she noticed compared to what time all the lancel stuff has happened, so that could have been 5 minutes-10 minutes-20 minutes etc etc, it probably took Lancel some time to crawl down that hallway, which could be stretched in a few seconds of running, so there was always a chance of a escape even if it didn't have the highest chances of success rate

I think to get a read on Cersei's personality and actions is easy. LF summed it up nicely with 'she spent her whole life craving power and when she has it she hasn't got a clue what to do with it. Pair that with the knowledge that she always wanted to be a master strategist like her father and truly believed to be his successor and it's a deadly mix of repression, a superiority complex and brashness.
GRRM follows the 'everybody is a hero to their own story' very well. In Cersei's story, everybody underestimated her and she has to tear them down to prove herself and succeed. Lord spare anyone that gets in her way.

I think Margaery's death is legitimately the worst of all the main characters thus far. Like, everyone else died at least in part for some stupidity on their end, or a fatal character flaw. Marg played the game perfectly and outwitted her enemies every step of the way, and was cheated out of her rightful victory  #justice4margaery
Cersei got bumped up from a villain I'll miss and admire, to someone who needs to die slow like Ramsay & Joffrey. |

The worst part about her death is that it completely robbed me of the satisfaction of seeing the High Sparrow die. I've been waiting for his pompous ass to die for so long now and my enjoyment is severely tempered by what happened to the Tyrell's.
Margaery looking at her dad with the knowledge that they were all about to die was so unsettling

I think Margaery's skill at the game was her fatal character flaw. She played the game brilliantly, but she was stuck in the mindset of the game. She couldn't anticipate Cersei's desperation when Cersei's back was against the wall. Margaery followed the rules and Cersei flipped the table.

I totally agree. What's so tragic about Margaery is that she was smarter than almost all of her contemporaries and remained a step-ahead; she just kept hitching her wagon to men who weren't as sharp as she was. It happened with Renley, with Joffrey, and -- finally (and tragically) -- with the High Sparrow. The High Sparrow grossly underestimated Cersei, something that Margaery never would have done. You can see this moment of realization on Margaery/Natalie Dormer's face right before the wildfyre went off, as she heads towards the exits while the other lemmings just mill about bewildered. It's like she's thinking, this smelly old f!ck just got me and my whole family killed.

According to the actress Margaery was great at the game, and she was correct in guessing that something was wrong. Her death was as a direct result of the Sparrow underestimating Cersei, not thinking that she'd go that far and thus not allowing Margaery too leave.
In hindsight she probably wouldn't have gotten far & still been killed but nevertheless I blame him (and Cersei ofcourse) for her death. 
I don't think Margaery followed the rules, she was cunning, sassy & brave when she needed to be (must've gotten those traits from Olenna) but with her brother holding her back she was fooled, and not allowed to escape once she finally realised what was happening.
R.I.P. Queen.  |

Yeah Margaery deserved a better ending. Making so much noise instead of just leaving quietly when she suspected something was going to happen was her only real mistake. The only positive outcome of how well she played the game was that she saved Olenna by getting her out of KL, but that's a small positive since the Tyrell name will basically die with Olenna. And Cersei had a high price to pay for taking her out. She could easily have kept her alive along with Tommen, but she chose not to.

Great points

I don't mean to say that not sneaking out was a BIG mistake on Marg's part, just that it's the only tiny thing you can nitpick at that she could've done differently to save herself. Of course even if she tried to sneak out, she had a slim chance of getting away unnoticed - but a much better chance than she did when she put everyone on alert.

Even if Margaery tried to run, I would have been more content with that since at least she tried to avoid her fate. But she was just bound to her position because of the Sparrows which was what made her death more tragic for me. And considering how well she played the game and how she can easily change her facade as a person to get what she wants, she was definitely my favourite character

With Arya's or Jon's plot armour she'd have nothing more than a few burns or scrapes that would completely heal by S07E01.
