Game Of Thrones Season 6: 12 Big Things We Still Haven't Seen

12. ​Sam Headed To Oldtown

Although a fairly major character by this stage, having survived since the very first season, Samwell Tarly is still partly known for being Jon Snow's friend. 

He has a chance to change that in Season 6 though, as he'll be striking out on his own (or rather, with Gilly and her baby), and headed for Oldtown in order to become Maester Tarly. 

We've actually had some of Sam's storyline there in the books already, although it throws up more questions than answers, but we still haven't had a chance to see it yet on the show. The particular excitement comes from a couple of different arcs they're likely to go with. The first is Gilly being taken to Horn Hill, where we'll get to meet Sam's family. The second is seeing Oldtown itself, which is exciting to think about as it's a whole new location, and should be a stunning one at that, and it means we can learn more about the Maesters while having more character development for Sam.
