Can YOU explain her affinity for the things she says Qyburn's been doing for her during Jaime's absence, then? And listening carefully, it doesn't sound like she's referring to drugs or potions, either. (It's in the dialogue where Cersei mentions how much she dislikes Pycelle, and his repulsive odor of "dead cats".)

I don't know if it's in the books. But in a recent episode, it was especially odd, and out of place, how Cersei was describing how much better Qyburn made her feel in Jaime's absence. And after watching/listening to that scene again, it seems she isn't talking about some drug or potion, either.

Oh, so my conclusion relies on what rape is "now" understood to mean? Sort of the "new math" for rape? Language re-definition truly is the bane of modern society. "Retarded" (adj) is now an insulting noun. "Access" is defined as "actual provision of service". "Alien" is now "worker". And, apparently, rape is now…

Oh, that was insightful. I suppose that's what happens when you can't make your point without insults and shouting — you just lose without any grace or class. Your screen name is fitting.

The relationship was already established, however subtly — exposed when Cersei was raving about what Qyburn was able to "do for her" in Jaime's absence.

Perhaps Mount Stoneheart? The Stone Heart that Rides? Or just Stone Mountain?

So long as the storylines don't plod and get as absurd as Dune.

So when you bring your spouse a sandwich while your spouse is reading on the couch, and your spouse says "not here", it is your interpretation that your sandwich is being rejected?

That seems to be your trouble with that scene. You keep interpreting "Not here" to be either "No" or "Not now", while omitting the obvious possibility — that Cersei actually meant precisely what she said — "not HERE".

Apparently, Cersei's been pretty "fond" of Qyburn, too.

Not having read ahead — is there any important reason Cersei was so insistent upon sending a double-masted sailing ship to her young daughter in Dorne??

Only in the mind of somebody who sees everybody as somehow belonging to a victim class. The conflict in that scene was was a power exchange. Jaime wanted sex there. Cersei wanted it somewhere else. Jaime won. Get over it.

Well, Cersei never said ANYTHING about not wanting to do it, as you say, "at this time". But thanks for arguing against a point nobody is making.

It would have been (pun not intended) overkill.

And the was pretty fond of the things Qyburn was "doing for her", too.

That's another thing you've gotten wrong. Her "affairs" were not omitted from the series. You just had to be paying attention to catch them (more than one!!).

Again, you are conflating two sentiments with unrelated meanings. "Not here", in no imaginable circumstance, is synonymous with "no".

Even the man who directed the scene agrees with me, and disagrees with you. Just as you are free to take offense at everything you see in life, that doesn't make your viewpoint meritorious.

Well, even the man who directed that scene disagrees with you. (I normally don't revert to an appeal to authority — but in this case, the one who choreographed every one of the details of the scene seems pretty much like the indisputable authority here.)

It precisely the same as when a teenage girl offers a protest or two about having sex while her father is just downstairs, but then willfully engages, furtively relishing the risk and taboo nature of the venue. "No" and "Not here" aren't even close to each other.
