Sometimes the greatest gift is the absolute clarity and certainty that comes from desperation.

I love that there was genuinely no reason for Cersei to go to Margaery's cell at all. She had no intention of even trying to free her or Loras. That's classic Cersei. That section of her daily itinerary literally just said the word "gloat."

For now, Game of Thrones has enough game-changing stories to deal with. A return to previous form - finally!

There are still some episodes left, but it's difficult to be excited anymore. The journey has lost its meaning, and it's now a race to the final act so we can all move on.

Given that, it's no surprise some stories in "The Gift" feel fundamentally underdeveloped; and yet, the thematic unity driving it all helps elevate the episode from becoming one of the show's more frustrating, fractured hours.

Yeah, he's vain and seriously demented, but you could never call Ramsay undetermined.
