This was such a satisfying scene. Cersie’s getting revenge on her captors who stole her kingdom only to have her son kill himself, delicious writing.

@holliegould3463 Жыл бұрын

my absolute fave part about it was that she blew everyone up *largely* to get her son back under her control and he kills himself because of it. i LOVE that she didn't get any gratification from it. she thought she had won in that moment but lost her only living child because she couldn't put her power games to the side.

I love this. However, I don’t agree. I feel that she knows the consequences of her actions. That’s what is so scary about the scene. Is that she actually switches from someone who had a love for her children and now she doesn’t. She’s been driven to that point. a lot of people say to her that she’s not a monster. She knows she is a monster. She already knew when she took that sip of wine, before her son takes his life, what would happen. The sad thing about Cersei is that Cersei lost who she was before she did that. She is lost to evil.

her son sided with Margery. Took sides against the family. She was plagued by the prophecy of outliving her kids, saw what happened to Joffrey and Mycella, and embraced it here. Tommen's fate couldn't be helped, couldn't be stopped.

@bigpoppy0617 5 ай бұрын

Not to mention the number one fact that everyone's missing. Her choices had been made, her fate was now in her hands only. If she did not commit this "despicable" act, she would certainly have been executed, with the blessing of her son. It was proven with the conversation between the high septon and Margery that her fate was already sealed. She loved her son but he wasn't going to give two shits when she died so f*** him

What pisses me off, is that if the quality of the show wouldn't have dropped, she would have suffered consequences for that. Jaime would never have forgived her. The realm would be outraged and she would lose massive support from every house. But yeah, her actions make senses, she's Tywin's daughter, she'll obliterate her ennemies into oblivion.

@nonaurbizniz7440 Жыл бұрын

The quality of the show dropped because they ran out of content from the books and had to make it up as they went. Lets just say the writers were not up to the task.

@benjaminbierley2074 Жыл бұрын

She's Tywin's daughter in that she took a lot of the WRONG lessons and meanings from her father. Yes, he obliterated his enemies, often ruthlessly, but he had a degree of common sense which as he noted to her she lacked...this scene is the peak of that, she is so satisfied at her own perceived brilliance she utterly fails to consider any consequences to such a radical and destructive move. Even with the Red Wedding, Tywin had someone else do that and had it happen far from the city...and honestly, he didn't have to do much since Robb for all his virtues kind of screwed himself by then and walked straight into it. Cercei by contrast only did this cause all her blunders piled up to bring things to the point she was being put on trail. This wasn't a smart play, this was her throwing a fit and flipping the table because she was losing so hard.

@peggyblue51 Күн бұрын

I am not fan. I know that Cersei was sold into marriage and this marriage appeared to be prison. So the psychical condition of queen turned against her people. She had cold marriage, she was not treated with this love she came and that was hurtful. She couldn't count at anyone. And Joffrey probably was isolated and saw so many cracks on the glass in his life and his mother couldn't explain all and really all to him. So he couldn't be any better than he was. Disrepectful so annoying. Cruel and mean so he was able to take care of himself. But this had price. He became just cruel and disrespectful. And he became evil and mean. He couldn't use it wise. He was stupid as he was. I do not sympathise because she never turned in creature that could care any tiny about her little brother. I think the character of Joffrey was alarming for her so she changed methods and made much better by Myrcella and Tommen.

Anyone else see this as the sickness of the mad king still working itself through the King's Landing system? He went mad and had the pyromancers produce loads of the wildfire, and store it up. Then he got "retired" and people thought things would get better with a new king. But the system is what is sick, not just the individuals running it. The mad king got de-lifed. Robert, far more interested in parties and tourneys than ruling ran then state in to massive debt, only to be murdered by Cersei. Joffrey had the sickness strong and early on, and gets murdered. Tommen was actually a good, kindly person - so he jumped when he saw how things really were. Then Cersei herself takes over, and is the sickest of them all - until Dany rides in on her dragon and bbq's the whole place. She turns out to potentially be the worst ruler of all, since she wants to take the show worldwide, and Jon has to murder HER. Reminds me of that line from "I, Claudius" - "let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out."

I totally do. Disregarding that she is the one who gave a bunch of fanatics power that not only rivaled hers, but actually held the lord's of westerose accountable for the laws the supposedly supported. Which she gave to them over a petty rivalry with a teenage girl. And due to the fact that she couldn't accept her punishment for lying to the entire realm about her children's true linage, a lie that the high Sparrow was going to let her get away with just to keep the peace of the realm. She completely ignored the fact that her only living son was obsessed with Margery and murdered her over a situation cerci created. The scene was brilliant. But if that had played out realistically she would have made martyrs out of everyone in that Sept, uniting everyone who had just a bit of faith in the 7 against her In other words tywin was spinning at 1000 rpms in his grave

Is Game of Thrones worth the watch?
