Controversy after a controversial scene in The Game of Thrones. Puzzled also George R.R. Martin

Although the cable TV we've become accustomed to strong images, this time HBO may have overplayed his hand. A scene in the third episode of season 4 of The Game of Thrones, airing in the United States last Sunday, is bothered by dividing the public and even the author of the books that inspired the series, George RR Martin, who was forced to intervene, claiming he had never discussed with the creators and HBO.

In Breaker of Chains, Jaime and Cersei find themselves alone in front of the lifeless body of Joffrey, brutally killed in the previous episode. The two discuss how to avenge what had happened, until Jaime does not abuse his sister. The two characters, as fans of Game of Thrones knows from the beginning of the saga, contacts are not new to the genre, but the fact that this time this was a rape perpetrated in front of the corpse of a young boy, the son of the two, has sparked the fans, outraged at the lack of tact and because the facts do not reproduce anything that you can read in the books in the same tones and circumstances.
Driven to action by the fans themselves, Martin wrote in his blog: "In the novels, Jaime is not present at the death of Joffrey, indeed, Cersei is afraid that he is dead, he had lost both his son to be his brother and lover. And then, suddenly, Jaime is there in front of her. Mutilated and changed, but the present. Although the time and place are vastly different and Cersei is afraid to see him, they both crave. "The author assumed that the creators David Benioff and DB Weiss have been forced to act differently due to the fact that Jaime is back on TV from Cersei already for some time, but said: "We never talked about that scene, that I remember. "
"If the series had kept some parts of the dialogue Cersei in the books, probably under the impression would have been different," Martin added, suggesting that the nature of narrative television has made ​​sure that the woman in that scene look like a victim. Although the dialogue between the two characters is very relevant to the circumstances of the books, in which she is a woman who sees her lover for the first time in a long time, during which he feared that he was dead, keep those parts of the dialogue in a different timeline so maybe it would not work anyway. Then he concluded: "The scene is always aiming to create discomfort, but I should be sorry if disturb people for the wrong reasons."
