She did try giving Robert a chance but on their wedding night he called her Lyanna and from that point on she hated him.

That was in the books, wasn't it? Or is that what you're talking about?

No, she brings it up to Robert.

Oh. Well. That is pretty out of character. My apologies. I guess I was trying to supplant my book version too much. Hm...maybe I should watch the show again.

I still stand by saying I never once felt she was supposed to be a heroic character. Definitely not a 'strong, independent woman in a man's world'.

Heroic, no.

But the show has definitely gone out of their way to make her not as half as bad in the books and instead your standard amoral HBO character. The HBO character of Cersei is not even as bad as Al Swearengen from Deadwood or Lucretia from Spartacus.

Well, I never disagreed with that (I think). Just that I never saw HBO trying to make her into some good character. If I had to really guess, it's to make her attitude in AFFC seem harder.

In fact, it seems a lot of GoT has been about guaging what fan reaction was and trying to work around it. Making things like the RW in ASOS less obvious (not that they're succeeding).
