The Lannisters always pay their debts — and that’s paying off royally
Of all the nobles competing for power and survival on HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” Queen Cersei Lannister is sitting most comfortably on the Iron Throne that is the seat of power for the Seven Kingdoms dreamed up by author George R.R. Martin. And that’s a coup considering she and her twin brother/lover Jaime entered last season as the weakest family.
Yet the Lannisters rallied by allying themselves with the seafaring Euron Greyjoy, giving them the most powerful fleet in the world. They then destroyed two of Daenerys’ allies, while Dany lost one of her dragons in a battle with the White Walkers, which led to a significant reversal of fortune. McCaffrey agreed that, “Her major strength at the moment is that she’s geographically so far away from where a lot of the action is happening. But when Cersei gets comfortable, she tends to grow a little bit arrogant and think she can take on anyone in the Seven Kingdoms, even when she can’t, so she has to watch out for overextending herself and being too ambitious.
