Game of Thrones | Epic Cersei Scene: “Power is Power”

"Cut his throat" "Cersei pleeeaseeeee"

Knowledge is not necessarily power, especially not over other people, it very much depends on the person who has the knowledge. Ned Stark would use it to try and bring justice where justice is due, and LF will try and use it for his own gains.

Some people just don't crave for power. Others aren't good enough/smart enough in using the knowledge they have to obtain power.

But power is power. if you are willing/capable of retaining it and know what makes it stronger, you will keep having it.

Littlefinger does use the brown seal serially here before she says she changed her mind.

RIP

fuck, I love Cersei

For a guy who's got such a good sense for making long-term investments, Littlefinger sure acted stupidly here.

By the last image of the child cleaning the floor. We could assume that Varys will know about this situation. WHich also leads to the power of "knowledge".

How I love her here.

He's right. Knowledge is power. if it wasn't so, he would not have produced that reaction from cersei.

Knowledge is just the ground: wisdom is real power.

I can really see this being Littlefinger's downfall eventually. This scene pretty much got repeated in season 6 with Sansa and Brienne; he was then reminded again that "power is power". Regardless of how much he knows, someone with a sword will always physically be more powerful than him.

cersei was so pretty here idk what happened

funny how all of the city guards… (not the army) are on littlefingers pay role… xD baelish could have had loads of people killed if he just lost it and wanted everyone dead…

It is the reverse that is true; knowledge is no power. There are plenty of knowledgeable people who dont have an inch of power. However, without knowledge, you quickly lose the power you have.

penis is power

yummy cersei

One of the few times Littlefinger got burned.

Only someone that is spoiled and naive would believe something like that.
"Power is power", what a moron. Create enough enemies, and your allies will betray you. Humiliate your allies (as she does here to the guards) and they may betray you. Power is not a static thing.

What is power:

Knowledge, intelligence, allies, money and charisma. The most important one? Allies, that is

She can just command people to do stupid things without question.

Power is power. SUCH LOGIC

Lord Xykon quoted this first!

Just for anyone who wants to know:
If you ask me, Petyr won this little debate. He made her flinch. He backed her into a corner, making her tick. Once you figure out what makes someone tick, you know their weakness and you can exploit it. Power is power, x=x, obviously, she grew up in a powerful family. But knowledge of others when your enemies have no knowledge of your intentions is far more powerful. He's watched on the sidelines, two massive wars. (Robert's Rebellion and The War of Five Kings. Three wars if you count the Greyjoy rebellion.) He knows exactly what to do, how to make many tick, and thus, his knowledge of others has made him very powerful by the end of season 4.

Stupid Cersei. She will look very stupid in season 5/6 and AFFC/ADWD

Luv her!  

Heheheh Cersei will be eating her words for breakfast – because Littlefinger is THE master of the game, even if it's not apparent from the get-go.

Cersei can command goon Lannister guards. She couldn't control her husband. Her son is pulling away from  her. And gods forbid she should ever tell her father no. She doesn't have the power. 

power is power but u can get power with knowledge and you don't need money or army for that

Knowledge is power.  Which is why he should have KNOWN better than to threaten someone in her position to her face so casually.

People forget that if she were born a man, she would have been king.

Nothing epic or bad ass about this. It's just Cersei being a stupid delusional bitch again. poor dumb bitch doesn't know any better

knowledge is power in long run.
power is power in short run.

It's a badass scene, but yeah, book LF is basically thought of everyone's jolly, smiling, harmless friend. Only a handful of people like Tyrion really realize that he's basically a disease. LF only removes this mask when he's about to slit your throat.

Cersei was thi-i-i-i-i-i-i-is close to saving Ned Stark's life in this scene.

Bitch! But a hot bitch!

Technically, they're both right

Epic? You confuse epicness with stupidity. No eye for subtlety, a brash child commanding a giant to swing a hammer, a loud crier of attacks in a room filled with minimalist and pragmatic speakers. Only serving one purpose, to have her as a center of focus for the others in the room, to create veils of illusion over what she thinks she has and what she actually has. So arrogant as to believe that the power she has now will be with her always. I concede badass but epic…epic is special, she isn't
