“Game Of Thrones”: A True Rarity
Sunday’s episode of “Game of Thrones,” called “The Gift,†wasn’t much for challenging Westerosi status quo. Most in-progress plotlines carried on, more or less, as expected. All the worst things in the world kept happening to Sansa, Daenerys continued bowing to pressure from the Masters, Littlefinger continued spinning his inscrutable web of double- and triple-crossings, and Cersei kept right on digging herself into a hole that even she can’t extract herself from anymore. But the episode did deal viewers a true rarity, something we’ve possibly never seen on this show: a painless, natural death.
