There is very little that goes on in Kings Landing that Cersei doesnt have her evil, incestuous hands in. Shes incredibly cunning and manipulative and has become a master at getting what she wants. Since the first time we saw her, she has been a captivating presence, one who Lena Heady has played with absolute brilliance. Tywin Lannisters daughter has played a part in some of the most maddening moments, from the murder of her husband King Robert, to her distaste for and prosecution of her brother Tyrion. Despite all her dirty deeds, there are still very brief flashes of humanity that crack through the surface of her ice cold veneer, but they are quickly forgotten about when she resumes her dastardly behavior. The queen regent is someone who, much like her recently deceased son Joffrey, deserves to meet her end in the most agonizing manner possible. Prince Oberyns speech to Tyrion about the way she spoke of him as a child was skin-crawling, showing both the viewers and her brother that she had always been a hateful, spiteful b*tch. However, she is a necessary evil to keep the chess pieces moving in provocative and engrossing ways, a vital player in the overall entertainment factor of Game of Thrones.
