'Game of Thrones' Season 8: Let's be honest, Cersei Lannister deserves to keep her throne. Here's why

She went from being driven around by men to having the Iron Throne completely to herself, and now she is not ready to give it up at any cost
UPDATED MAR 28, 2019

Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) went from being the mother of three dead children to the first female ruler of Westeros, and very soon just like all the other kings who had descended into madness over the Iron Throne, Cersei is on her way to becoming completely insane.

When all the rest have put aside their battles and travelled north to fight the dead, Cersei stayed behind in spite of her brother, Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), repeatedly insisting she help out in the war. She dreamt an unreal dream of maintaining a long dynasty of rulers, without even considering that she has no heir left to take over the throne after her. Worst of all, Cersei is a Queen with no alliance, which practically means she is no Queen, but for now, let's give it to her.
