Cersei Lannister is probably the most complex character in Game of Throne.

It’s easy to hate the Lannister’s but there is a bit of me that feels for all of them even Cersei

The irony is that one of my favorite conventions in the series never happened in the books. Where tf were these writers in season 8?

This is the best scene in the entire show

11 years ago... 😢😢😢 i wish i could go back to when this was posted 😢😢😢

Thomas Linda Garcia Brian Clark Nancy

one of the best scenes easily

I know it's been repeated in the comments, but I'm going to repeat it again: "You want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. I only know that she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her away from me. And seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole that she left behind." Goddamn.

God, the dialogue is so good in this scene. Just two people with a long, nuanced history having the honest talk they wished they had long ago. Shame, regret and apathy.

I’ve never watched the show (yet) nor read the books and I’m invested into this so much I’m looking up certain scenes like this.

I feel like whomever wrote this probably experienced what it was like to be in a “loveless” marriage but still forcing yourself to stay together (either themselves or maybe their parents) because DAMN this feels genuine.

One thing Cersei did learn from Robert: if everythings overwhelming, just drink wine.

This was the exact moment when Cersei decided she would go all-out with disposing of Robert

Extremely underrated scene. I often think about when Robert says, "And seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind". Watching it again, he delivered that whole line so beautifully. Great acting

He could have had a beautiful loyal wife and beautiful children, and a loving marriage because she actually loved him or at least the idea of him, while he loved the ghost of a woman who never loved him, he loved the idea of her, of taming the “she wolf” and treating her like a queen. Even if Lyanna loved him she would have grown to hate him, because he liked to whore and drink. He uses her death to excuse his whoring and drinking, like “ if only she had lived I would have been faithful and sober, and spent my days loving her and farming the land for our children” but he really just loved whoring, drinking and fighting. Bobby would have been a very happy sellsword in Essos. He truly seems like a dothraki in spirit😂

Robert could remember the first man he killed, but not the woman he loved. Poetic character.

This scene always has a deep meaning to me and it carries a sorrow that makes me tear up everytimw i watch it

Gods the writing was strong then.

Im glad Ned never told Robert that Lyanna loved Rhaegar and not him. What tangled webs we weave.

Cersei did think Robert was handsome when he was young because he was and Cersei did get pregnant with but she got rid of baby as soon as she find out in books

"It doesn't make me feel anything" still the most realest line said everrr ..

Robert didn’t love Lyanna, he loved the idea of Lyanna

We lost these conversations at house of dragons

If robert has said "its time, im going to prepare the boy to rule. I plan to give up the throne soon" he wouldve lived

Why watching this a decade later does it bring tears to my eyes? It never did the first 2-3 times I saw this scene but for some reason now it does

One of the best dialogue ever scripted!

Imagine if the stillborn 1st born boy, true son of Baratheon, somehow ended up north of the wall and grew up under the Night King. The Undead Prince of cosmic consequences.

The fact that after 17 years and all the women Robert was unfaithful with. The both know exactly Who are they both talking about when Cersei asks "What was SHE like? "

After house of the Dragon we need a Roberts rebellion series

Man telling this to your wife, it’s fucked up

I find it beautiful that Robert’s son and Arya, who very much was like Lyanna, did have feelings for eachother.

One of the best scenes in the whole show. I miss these scenes

Mark Addy's scriptwriter knew he only had one season, so they made sure every word was heavy and dense.

Sometimes guys we have to learn this lesson the hard way like Robert, the woman you love more than anything may want something else, something so very diffent to her yet similar at heart, and unfortunately Robert wasn’t that.

Someone: Did the showrunners really screwed season 8 and the Game of Thrones ending? Me: You want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what was season 8 like. All I know is that a great ending was all I ever wanted. Someone took it away from me, and seven seasons couldn't fill the hole they left behind.

GODS the character development was strong then.

George really said i like Romeo and juliet

Robert looks actually hurt when cersei asks him if they ever had a chance. I think he feels for all the shit they went through since the rebellion. He knows cersei often overestimates herself but i think he also respected her for the wit she had. I think he was very aware that all the pieces around him didnt really fit together but they still tried to make it work. And as they said it worked quite well for a long time

In this scene cersei and Robert share such a strong bond with each other its almost strange. They absolutely know and feel the pain of each other. They acknowledge and analyse their importance and perspectives. Best complex relationship in GOT. They hate another, they respect their pain, they understand their place and cannot help but laugh. Almost friendly because they cant kill each other (at that point xd) man, i miss them

and too think that dumb and dumber were capable of writing these incredibly extras scene, only makes the anguish and torment of the latter seasons, sting even worse.

Peak GOT How did it come from this to "i dont want it"

After watching every moment in GOT only sam have pure heart

Robert had issues. His whole "relationship" with Lyanna was nothing more than his delusion. They might have been arranged to marry but on a personal level they barely knew one another. Robert though deluded himself to belive in this great romance between him and Lyanna and he still can't get over this delusion 17 fucking years later. He admits he can't even remember how she looked like, but he still obsesses about her like the whole thing happened yesterday. Really, that guy seriously needs some serious medicine, because I feel therapy wouldn't be enough at this point

If you consider the fact Cersei could have killed Robert hundred of times before Season 1, her character gains an entire new perspective. I don't believe Robert slapping Cersei was the trigger to his assassination. She has been humiliated by him all her life, even if it's the first time he hits her, I don't think she grudged about that. Not only that, I think she even understood, deeply, how out of line she went on Ned because of how much he meant to Robert. Now that I see this interaction again, it's possible this scene might hide one of the deepest character development of the series. Obviously, everything Robert says is heavy as hell, he knows it and he'd only tell it to Ned. But here, because he knows Cersei suffered from it almost as much as him while she didn't deserved it, he therefore admits it, because he believes she has the right to know. However, Cersei then admits she loved him, truly, for a long time. So when he asks her if it makes her feel better, it's because he feels bad for her, genuinely. She kills Robert right after those scenes. But the biggest thing in all of this, the thing nobody noticed or even thought about around them, is how important Cersei admitting her love is. She loved Robert way before and decides to kill him now. And don't be fooled, she knew he never loved her, she says she knew. His confirmation has a deeper meaning. Maybe she didn't want to kill him until this point... Maybe she even liked to see him suffer, probably even. Yet at THIS very moment, she sees how sad this man is, and how remorseful he deeply is for her. Maybe, because she loved him once, she didn't despised him after their discussion but in the contrary felt that sorrow for him once again. I genuinely think she could have enough mercy for Robert that she took the responsibility to kill him out of love! Out of LOVE! To give him peace. Imagine that! I might go a bit far, but I like to see that now.

Robert's scenes are the ones I come back for the most. Tywin close second.

Iyanna didn't even love him; which proves have much Robert lived in a fantasy.

Having left a marriage in which we brought out the worst out of each other despite good intentions, this feels awfully familiar.

GoT season 1 scene comments section: "This scene is the best scene ever because [insert ten different reasons]" GoT season 8 comments sections: "A child who had never seen seasons 1-7 could have written a more satisfactory conclusion"

“She was the only thing I ever wanted and seven kingdoms couldn’t fill the hole she left behind.”

this is in my opinion the greatest piece of dialogue in all of tv history.. the acting, writing, emotion, lighting, impact, heartbreaking realness.. it all ties into a masterpiece that i haven't seen anywhere else.. everything is perfect in every aspect
