re: GoT - discussion on Cersei's inevitable demise (some spoilers)

She already is. Her only motivation is to get back at the world as much as possible before her inevitable demise. She has nothing to lose.

I really think there are only 2 things in life Cersei has ever truly wanted:

1) For her and her children to rule the Seven Kingdoms uncontested.
2) For her and Jaime to die together in each other's arms.

Jaime dying with Cersei would be incredible gravy to make up for failing the first part. Jaime just outright killing her telling her why he truly killed the Mad King, with Cersei finally realizing what a sad monster she has become to gain power, would be much more satisfying.

Although Tyrion knows it in the show (he doesn't in the books because he is shocked when some of the Wildfire is actually found) to where it would surprise me if Show Jaime didn't tell Cersei, I'm almost sure Brienne is the only person he's told the story to in the books, although Varys certainly also knew the plot.
