Listen, anon, I love the shit out of Cersei Lannister. I think she is an awesome, sympathetic-but-totally-screwed-up character, and I even agree that the level of hatred she gets is likely misogynist a lot of the time (not because she doesn't deserve hatred, but because some of the hatred centers around her sexuality or motherhood, etc., and because a lot of dudes who've done similarly atrocious things get handwaved or adored by the same people [see: Tywin Lannister]). That said, um. No, Cersei is a really, really bad ruler. She really should be paranoid, it's true, but she removes and alienates potential allies, depends on some shady-ass people to stay loyal to her, and is always looking for the wrong enemy, while letting her entire kingdom go even more to hell.

I love that about Cersei's story; it's her particular tragic irony. She is supposed to be paranoid, but she's so caught up in her paranoia that she keeps missing the forest for the trees. I would bet serious internet dollars that Jaime turns out to be the valonqar rather than Tyrion, because it would fit so perfectly with the rest of her "right but wrong" paranoia.
