The "Breaker of Chains" episode of "Game of Thrones" features a scene between Jaime and Cersei Lannister that has stirred up controversy.

[Warning: Spoilers Ahead]

Jaime orders everyone standing by King Joffrey's body to leave the room, as he wanted a moment along with his sister at the church. Cersei expresses her sorrow and how she wants Jaime to kill Tyrion to avenge their son's death. However, Jaime doesn't feel the same hate for their younger brother.

Jaime attempts to comfort Cersei by kissing her, but once she catches a glimpse of his hand she pulls back. This action infuriates Jaime and he forces himself inside of her, even after she begs him to stop. Jaime says to Cersi, "I don't care." He continues to force himself on her despite Cersei telling him to stop.

Though the scene came across to many as rape, but actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) told The Daily Beast it wasn't supposed to be interpreted as rape.

"It was tough to shoot, as well," Coster-Waldau said. "There is significance in that scene, and it comes straight from the books-it's George R.R. Martin's mind at play. It took me awhile to wrap my head around it, because I think that, for some people, it's just going to look like rape. The intention is that it's not just that; it's about two people who've had this connection for so many years, and much of it is physical, and much of it has had to be kept secret, and this is almost the last thing left now. It's him trying to force her back and make him whole again because of his stupid hand."

Coster-Waldau claimed it was a scene that was meant to be discussed amongst audience viewers. Director Alex Graves explained to HitFlix though it was started off as Cersei being unwilling to be with Jaime, she eventually gave in to her passions.

"Well, it becomes consensual by the end, because anything for them ultimately results in a turn-on, especially a power struggle. Nobody really wanted to talk about what was going on between the two characters, so we had a rehearsal that was a blocking rehearsal. And it was very much about the earlier part with Charles (Dance) and the gentle verbal kidnapping of Cersei's last living son."

"Nikolaj came in and we just went through one physical progression and digression of what they went through, but also how to do it with only one hand, because it was Nikolaj," he continued. "By the time you do that and you walk through it, the actors feel comfortable going home to think about it. The only other thing I did was that ordinarily, you rehearse the night before, and I wanted to rehearse that scene four days before, so that we could think about everything. And it worked out really well. That's one of my favorite scenes I've ever done."

However, the scene from the television show was not how the sex scene went down in George R.R. Martion's novel. Check out the differences here.
