forced by the sparrows to humiliate herself by returning to the red keep fully naked.
Maybe, I should just google "Lena Headey naked", huh?

Heh, that scene will be happening this season, though with a body double.  Headey isn't doing any nude scenes by preference and she's been pregnant for a few months, so it would look weird on screen.

Thanks for snapping my happy bubble, man... thanks a lot!

If you really want to see Lena nude (even if just topless), just watch 300.

Slow motion bouncy sex scene no less. I think that's what turned her off to the idea of nude scenes. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) also isn't doing any more nudity, she even made it part of her contract.

U no get the thing was about Cersei in particular.... not Lena!

About Cercie being a bitch, again I think the books do a good job of giving her a bit of a sympathetic feel as the stories go on. In book one I hate her, by book 5 I understand her better and feel sorry for her. She hates being seen as a week female, wishes she'd been born a man. She feels always passed over just for being a woman, hates that all woman are bought and sold and traded like cattle, married off with no say so in their own lives. The prophecy she received as a young woman would screw with anyone's head. She's walking around knowing someday she'll lose everything, so her actions are those of a woman desperate not to lose her remaining children.
She's still not a likable character or anything, but more understandable, I think.

I completely agree. Cersei is actually my favorite character   

She is determined to rule Westeros, she feels like that is her destiny (of course, that prophecy could only strengthen her certainty, her pride, and her paranoia)
Nevertheless, she is a bold, strong, and determined. She is also prideful, arrogant, and foolish at times. In the end she wants to protect her and to rule Westeros, and she is never apologetic for it. Ever.

I suppose I can see the points you both make, but I have never really been fond of her. I never really went so far as to say I hated her, but I definitely don't like her. Besides, she adds a certain flavor to the series that would make the books boring if she wasn't there. I can honestly say that GoT wouldn't be as good without the manipulative, psychopathic Cersei Lannister. But...she still isn't worthy of Rhaegar.

King Aerys II agreed with you.

I can definitely understand why  But to be honest, it's not like I really love Cersei, I just really admire her.

But did he really know what Cersei? I find it very doubtful, Robert didn't even truly know Cersei or the Lannisters. You also have to consider the fact the Aerys II was mad
