Game Of Thrones Season 6: 8 Most Disappointing Characters

8. Sam Tarly

Nobody really expects a lot from Sam, that's kind of the point of his arc. Everybody who comes across the waddling Tarly instantly writes him off as a joke, a reject, an outcast destined to fail.

But fans have obviously warmed to him over the seasons, and as a character he has metaphorically grown into a steely individual. He demonstrates that at times in Season 6, but his storyline was disappointing to say the least.

Sam took the Valyrian steel sword - a bold move that surely can't end well for him - but other than that, his appearances failed to really standout among the intensity of the others.
