George R. R Martin talks about the scene involving Jamie and Cersei.

Update: George R.R Martin has given his own thoughts on this subject, in the wake of a lot of reaction to how the TV show portrayed the scene compared to the book. On his blog, Martin writes the following.

"I think the "butterfly effect" that I have spoken of so often was at work here. In the novels, Jaime is not present at Joffrey's death, and indeed, Cersei has been fearful that he is dead himself, that she has lost both the son and the father/ lover/ brother. And then suddenly Jaime is there before her. Maimed and changed, but Jaime nonetheless. Though the time and place is wildly inappropriate and Cersei is fearful of discovery, she is as hungry for him as he is for her.

The whole dynamic is different in the show, where Jaime has been back for weeks at the least, maybe longer, and he and Cersei have been in each other's company on numerous occasions, often quarreling. The setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books, which may be why Dan & David played the sept out differently. But that's just my surmise; we never discussed this scene, to the best of my recollection.

Also, I was writing the scene from Jaime's POV, so the reader is inside his head, hearing his thoughts. On the TV show, the camera is necessarily external. You don't know what anyone is thinking or feeling, just what they are saying and doing.

If the show had retained some of Cersei's dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression -- but that dialogue was very much shaped by the circumstances of the books, delivered by a woman who is seeing her lover again for the first time after a long while apart during which she feared he was dead. I am not sure it would have worked with the new timeline.

That's really all I can say on this issue. The scene was always intended to be disturbing... but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons."

Makes sense. Also is it just me or do they show some bloodied dead pigeons inside the cake for a split second.

Exactly. The moment I saw the dead pigeon, I figured it out that there's going to be something now...

Episode 03 was pale. Nothing new in this one... Expecting more from the next episode.

The new king seems kind to me.

This season has been fantastic so far, only the Castle Black segments have been lagging, but i imagine next-week there's gonna be some action there as well.

 

[Muaaz]

^ Castle Black is soon going to get very eventful.

 

[HAMMER of THOR]

this is the best season by far... and the pretty dragon lady is the most interesting story TILL the winter comes...

He's retiring from acting now. Says acting doesn't interest him anymore. Its sad really :/

Nobody mentioned it anywhere. Tyrion's acting in the Purple Wedding was extremely raw and powerful.

He's the best actor on the show right now. He did some great acting in the latest episode as well, during his scene with Podrick Payne.

yeah heard it couple of months ago, his joffrey character really put a hate on him from people around LOL but while that may be the case his decision to leave acting isn't solely on that but his interest i think.
