But what if a bunch of methheads showed up and started talking about genital mutilation?

I've only had that happen once in the 'burbs of Chicago. Such things don't happen in California.

Out of curiosity, i've watched the Cersei bits of the GoT finale....

Well, well. Who would have thought that Cersei could actually earn my respect.  Every domestic enemy destroyed in one day of blood and fire. Westereos made a much better place with the destruction of the fanatics of the sept. And all she had to was to stop pretending to give a crap about anything but power.

 

And why does that earn my respect? Because she had to bounce back from nothing with just her iron will and intelligence. She did it with absolute laser beam focus and allowed nothing to distract her. There was no fury, no passion, no sentimentality.  Just determination. And most importantly she didn't try to justify what she did either. To herself or others. No masks, no lies. What you see is what you get and with her it's the deadly beauty of a shark in action.

 

All hail Darth Cersei, the queen of Westeros. The most worthy enemy anyone can have over there.

I've never been manipulated that far before. I loathed Cersei. Hated her guts. Somehow, she earned my respect and a little bit of my sympathy over the past two seasons, and I guiltily started rooting for her, until at last, I felt the joy she felt when swishing her wine and looking out over the Sept in the finale. Even though I'm devastated my favorite woman on the show - Margaery - is eliminated, I also can see that she somehow lost fair and square. Tbh, I started to feel deeply betrayed and irritated by Margaery in the finale few episodes. But I suppose it isn't her fault.

Earned your respect? That iron will and determination killed the one person left in the world she actually cared about. Her focus lead him to kill himself. She knew her son would take that event to heart. She knew that he was a good person. That devestation shook him to his core and he simply couldn't take it. That focus of hers will be her downfall. She may have "won" the day, but she will lose the rest.

She didn't care about Tommen anymore. I'm pretty sure she knew how he would react, why else would she have a custom coronation tiara ready for herself? If he wouldn't have jumped, he would have been pushed. She's beyond sentimentality at this point. And that's her strenght. There is absolutely nothing that she wouldn't do to win, no-one she wouldn't sacrifice to gain a minor advantage. There is a dark purity in that. The morals of Daenarys and Jon do them credit, but in a fight where one combatant follows no rules, no morals and whose thought porcesses are closer to a shark than anything human, those morals are going to trip them up.

Daenarys has dragons, but Cersei IS a dragon. Even her dress looks scaly now

You said it yourself, you haven't been keeping up. She cares about her children. That is the only humanity she has had. All she has wanted is to keep her children safe, and she thought by removing the Sparrow, the Tyrells, all of them, she would keep him safe. She was wrong though, and underestimated how far Tommen would become broken by her actions. If she had wanted Tommen dead as well, she wouldn't have had Sir Gregor keep him in his room until it was done. She cared.

 

Also, Dan and Dave have stated that the time is no longer being kept true. If they feel the amount of time in universe it would take for something to happen will effect the show, then they will overlook it.

I've read the books, so i do have a pretty good grasp of who Cersei was. The point is, she willingly let all that go.

Spoiler

She knew about Tommens feelings toward Margery, yet locked him in a room with a view over what happened. That was not an accident. It was a convenient way of getting rid of him without sullying her hands with her own sons death, perhaps fearing that something of the old Cersei still lingered and she wouldn't be able to do it. And she showed no emotion afterwards. Doesn't care about Jamies feelings either.

My point is, this is not the Cersei of the past, who schemed and worked in the shadows. Who cared about people in her life. That person is dead. This is a new, much more terrifyingly amoral and emotionless Cersei. This cersei does not scheme around obstacles, she carves a bloody path straight through.

The show differs from the books immsensely now. You can consider both two seperate things.

 

You are right, that Cersei is the person you say she is now, but she only becomes that after realising that her son, her last son, the person she has sought to protect from the world since he stepped into it, has died. Cersei has changed at that moment, not the moment when her plan is realised. The moment she realises the prophecy has come true.

 

Watch the show, then you will see where your argument falters.
