Maggy the Frog was right.
Lena Headey: Yes, the prophecy finally comes true.
Yet at the same time, she has her greatest moment of triumph.
She gets rid of all her enemies, that she knows of anyway.
Then there’s that moment where she goes to see dead Tommen and she thinks, “Ah.
I’ll [take the crown].”
It’s so wrong.
It’s amazing, she wipes them out all at once.
I was grinning [reading the script].
Everyone is going to be aghast and thrilled and annoyed they’re on Cersei’s side for a minute.
And you took out Septa Unella, with some private time.
It’s so filthy.
It’s so great.
Everybody’s witnessed what happened with the two of them.
I don’t think people will be able to help going, “Yes!”
But it’s so depraved, it’s brilliant.
The scene was meant to be worse, but they couldn’t do it.
This is like the tame version.
It’s pretty bad still though.
I’d take being exploded in the Sept over that any day.
She wanted power and security, but not the top seat in particular for herself.
She probably didn’t think it could ever happen.
This is the end of that.
I couldn’t believe it, obviously.
I was really shocked.
I read it like nine times, like, “You’re joking!”
Then I’m left to wonder who’s going to take her down.
She may only be there for a second.
You do think, “What the f comes next?”
So your prediction is Cersei’s not going to reign for very long?
Not a chance in hell.
It’s a moment of punctuation in the madness.
I got goosebumps reading, “The ships are coming.”
I have to assume there’s going to be one helluva battle.
It’s such a mystery.
The arrival of Dany also raises the prospect of Cersei reuniting with Tyrion.
I’m as excited as anyone to get Cersei and Tyrion back together.
Those two characters are so interesting because there’s so much hate, yet slight respect too.
They’d kill each other if ever given the chance.
People usually don’t leave the Iron Throne alive, though.
Does that have you concerned?
I think it has to be Arya or Tyrion.
Yes, Tyrion would be interesting…
No one would relish her death as much as he would.
Plus you’d love to do that scene with Peter.
Maybe we could have a dying kiss or something.
