Transcript

00:00Sunday night's episode of Game of Thrones had one of the most disturbing scenes ever,

00:04and GOT author George R.R. Martin is responding to the backlash.

00:07Now, the scene in which Jaime forces himself on his sister-slash-lover Cersei while their

00:12dead son lie right next to him left fans super upset.

00:16It's not right!

00:17I don't care.

00:18Part of the outrage comes from the fact that the scene plays out so differently in the book.

00:22Where Cersei and Jaime have consensual sex, it makes the TV rape scene so unnecessary.

00:27Martin attempts to explain why producers and the director chose to go in that direction,

00:31writing, the whole dynamic between the characters is different in the show.

00:35Martin writes, in the book, Jaime is not present at Joffrey's death.

00:38And then suddenly, Jaime is there before her.

00:40Though the time and place is wildly inappropriate, and Cersei is fearful of discovery, she is

00:45as hungry for him as he is for her.

00:48Stop it!

00:49Stop it!

00:51But in the show, Martin points out that Jaime has been around for weeks, and the two are

00:54often fighting.

00:55Why have the gods made me love a hateful woman?

00:59He writes, the setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books,

01:03which may be why they played the scene out differently.

01:06He also suggests if fans could hear the character's thoughts in the scenes as they do in the books,

01:11then it might have left a somewhat different impression.

01:13But don't get it confused, the scene was still meant to leave us feeling very uncomfortable.

01:18I mean, it is his sister, after all, and their dead son was lying right there.

01:22He was awesome.

01:24That's all kinds of creep.

01:26Martin writes, this scene was always intended to be disturbing, but I do regret if it has

01:30disturbed people for the wrong reasons.

01:32I'm Brian Corsetti.
