Let's be honest here. Cersei is definitely a very strong character. But she is not very intelligent and nor is she great in making strategies on regular basis. People hate her for obvious reasons. Things like asking for Lady's death for Nymeria's crimes don't go well with modern human beings. These are needless violence. Her burning the Sept further highlighted her shortsightedness. She eventually lost all her kids. Yes, losers do hate winners to some degree but that is not the main reason why people hate Cersei. |

I would argue that they have only made cercei smart this season and only because it helps the story.

Her burning the Sept further highlighted her shortsightedness. You must be the worst idiot around. Self-defense in the only remaining way is "shortsighted" to you and you talk about intelligence. You'd better shut up for good. |

Not as much as Tywin or Tyrion, but equal to Olenna and Margaery, superior to Jaime and way, way above all the Stark family, only betrayed by impulsiveness and paranoia. Of course, idiots who equate intelligence with success take her missteps as excuse for calling her dumb when the reasons of her troubles are elsewhere. Cersei is hated by emofools because she's not one of them. That's the real reason. |

You'd better shut up for good.  I like it more when you create a background and then write a cool paragraph to justify your answers. It was shortsighted because she couldn't calculate the future implications of her step. |

You are right. Even her assertively pinning the blame on Tyrion for her Son's death was an act of impulsiveness. But then so far on the show we have not really seen the consequences of blowing up the sept. I hope to see in the future. |

But then so far on the show we have not really seen the consequences of blowing up the sept. I hope to see in the future. Blowing up the Sept was not a choice, there was no preferable alternative whatever the consequences. Criticising a "calculation" in this case is an act of pure stupidity. Blaming Tyrion was not an impulse, she was convinced of it after he threatened her in no uncertain terms in order to protect Shae in Season 2 and everything else appeared to confirm suspicions. All along Season 2, she had witnessed how Tyrion was the one antagonising her and taking hold of power at her detriment, removing Janos Slynt she had appointed, locking up Pycelle for being faithful to her, marrying off her daughter without her consent, even, in her eyes, risking Joffrey's life in the Blackwater battle (yes, there is a certain level of paranoia in Cersei). When she came to visit him in S3E01, he met her with distrust, axe in hand. When she told him to give Sansa a child, he accused her of pushing their father's agenda when all she wanted was to do the girl some good. She also knew Tyrion knew Joffrey had tried to have him killed. It gave him a motive only she knew about. No, Cersei's conviction of Tyrion's guilt was not impulsive, it was actually well supported by all she had experienced in the previous two seasons. |
