[@RaphaelJohn]

shawaam I'd say it's less what you said, and more about this being the first time that Tyrion is favored more than Cersei by Tywin. So in a sense, Tyrion was telling the truth; Cersei disappointed Tywin by executing Ned, and sent Tyrion to handle Cersei & Joffrey.

[@Lietiel]

+DancingShaved PolarBear I don't think she quite loves her children so much as she loves herself and merely sees her children as extensions of herself. That's why she fixates on Joffrey and overlooks the others, because Joffrey is king and in him she derives her greatest vicarious ego-gratification. She loves the idealized concept of her children more than her children themselves.

[@aceclover758]

+Lietiel No she actually loves her kids She was furious at Tyrion sending Marcella away and was about to kill her youngest son when Stanis was coming because killing him with a painless way like poison is better than what Stanis and his men might do

[@Lietiel]

Lucky Zed No, my point stands. Being merciful to children whom she loves as extensions of herself doesn't negate her narcissism. If she loved them outright she wouldn't be so cruel to them when they've disappointed her, and she wouldn't fixate on Joffrey while largely ignoring the others.

Again he is the smallest one there but his confidence shows he is the most powerful in the room as the only one to question him is the queen regent, who Tyrion then puts in her place.

[@MasterChiefCortana1]

I miss this so much. I miss Tyrion verbally owning Cersei at every chance he got. He and Tywin (and to a lesser extent Olenna Tyrell) were literally the only people willing to explicitly call Cersei out for how stupid and poor at playing the Game of Thrones she is. Margaery was willing to be super caddy about it, but she never explicitly insulted her like Tywin and Tyrion did. I don't care if Cersei's at where she is right now in the show, it's under the worst circumstances possible because the best Cersei can do is take a large, blunt object approach towards solving all her problems and literally everyone now hates her, which is somehow more people than hated her before.

[@mareksilhart3307]

She was queen mother, it was from part her fault. It was Tyrion who destroyed the enemies at Kings landing. She has won nothing, only lost all her children, all her legacy, the reason to play that game. And now she pulled lannisters into trouble by indebting them to afford golden company to have one more vain, desperate attempt to play game of thrones. She is indeed the most powerful? Naah, she is weak, even a random, foolish guy from the mob persuading people that he can communicate with gods by whatever way was more powerful than her. Even with the greatest army in the world she will be very weak, compusilve puppet that takes everything too personally, puppet that respects only power, puppet that sees all lords equal to her in power and weatlh as her enemies, so inevitably if her rule continues, nothing will be left at the end. And this is not how the game of thrones is played well, since it slowly will turn, and it actually already happened, everyone against her. Cercei is obviously not clever at all, but she thinks quite the opposite.

[@codysellers4151]

Cersi Does not lack wit, but she lacks impulse control and good judgment. Its partly Tywin's fault tbf though. He never taught her how to play the game, she had to learn as she went.

[@iditarod4081]

She ascended to Queen or queen mother like five times (Robert, Joffrey, tommen, whatever child came after tommen, the brash navy guy from up North, and had she lived a little bit longer ...

@@willchurch8376 Those roles are rare. Tyrion in particular was a wonderful, well rounded, fully realized character who just happened to be a little person. With only slight changes in dialog, that role could have been played by a full sized person. Much the same could be said about Willow. Most roles for little people though, are comic, or villainous, and two dimensional, playing on stereotypes. Roles like Willow and Tyrion only come along once a great while.

[@spyrofan9681]

Yes Myrcella was in Dorne but she still could have done something from there. Especially considering her future brother in law was one of Tyrion's judges. And Jaime could have easily talked Tommen round if he'd thought of it and he's the king so even if he did recuse himself at the start it didn't matter.

"Be gentle, Cersei, I'm only jesting with you. If truth be told, I'd sooner have a nice whore. I never understood what Jaime saw in you, apart from his own reflection." She slapped him.

They all portray their characters so well, and off screen they're all sweethearts. ‎Isaac Hempstead-Wright is probably going to become quite a looker once finishes puberty, and he's a great young actor as well.
