Even if he doesn't have much say I think it was a joke. He writes some f'd up stuff.
I didn't interpret that comment as a joke at all.

This is the original scene from the novel:
Quote:
She touched his face. "I was lost without you, Jamie. I was afraid the Starks would send me your head. I could not have borne that." She kissed him. A light kiss, the merest brush of her lips on his, but he could feel her tremble as he slid his arms around her. “I am not whole without you.”

There was no tenderness in the kiss he returned to her, only hunger. Her mouth opened for his tongue. “No,” she said weakly when his lips moved down her neck, “not here. The septons…”

“The Others can take the septons.” He kissed her again, kissed her silent, kissed her until she moaned. Then he knocked the candles aside and lifted her up onto the Mother’s altar, pushing up her skirts and the silken shift beneath. She pounded on his chest with feeble fists, murmuring about the risk, the danger, about their father, about the septons, about the wrath of gods. He never heard her. He undid his breeches and climbed up and pushed her bare white legs apart. One hand slid up her thigh and underneath her smallclothes. When he tore them away, he saw that her moon’s blood was on her, but it made no difference.
And that's where the show stopped following the novel, which went on to add this:
Quote:
“Hurry,” she was whispering now, “quickly, quickly, now, do it now, do me now. Jaime Jaime Jaime.” Her hands helped guide him. “Yes,” Cersei said as he thrust, “my brother, sweet brother, yes, like that, yes, I have you, you’re home now, you’re home now, you’re home.” She kissed his ear and stroked his short bristly hair. Jaime lost himself in her flesh. He could feel Cersei’s heart beating in time with his own, and the wetness of blood and seed where they were joined.
(I'll cut off there, because I think there's a chance that elements of the conversation they had immediately after shows up later this season.)

I think they tried to infer that consentual part of it with her gripping the altar cloth, I think that was them trying to denote passion, but they sure didn't include the rest of what was spoken.

And maybe because it wouldn't have mattered in the end, had they added that part, since we've evolved to understand that that 'no means no' and you stop as soon as you hear it. I think it's safe to assume that people may have reacted even more negatively to that encounter had she said no, he continued anyway, and then she ended up begging him to **** her. That's a risky message to put on tape, even if the setting is in a brutal pseudo medieval setting, and I think there would have been outrage over that, too.

Hard scene to watch in any case.
