　　She told The Guardian that she hopes to catch up with Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff over a few drinks, at which time she'll tell them she wanted Cersei to die another way.

　　"I invested as a viewer and I have my favourite characters. And I've got a few of my own gripes. But I haven't sat down drunkly with David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] yet." She said she'll tell Weiss and Benioff, "I wanted a better death."

　　Over the years, Game of Thrones has aired some gut-wrenching and climatic death scenes, but Cersei's lacked the same kind of emotional punch in the eyes of some viewers. Headey admits that no death scene will please everyone, but she still wished for something more.

　　"Obviously you dream of your death," she said. "You could go in any way on that show. So I was kind of gutted. But I just think they couldn't have pleased everyone. No matter what they did, I think there was going to be some big comedown from the climb."

　　Overall, though, Headey said she enjoyed the years she spent working on Game of Thrones. "It was amazing," she said. "And things end and you move on."
