Game Of Thrones: 10 Things That Must Happen Before The End
7. Sam Will Figure Out A Way To Destroy The White Walkers
Everyone makes fun of poor Samwell for his general oafishness and cowardice, but he’s done badass stuff too. He destroyed a White Walker, scored a kill during the Castle Black siege and even grew a pair and refused to let his father control his destiny.
He now has a bloody big library at his disposal, and during his studies to become a maester he’s likely to stumble across a way to defeat the White Walkers. His plotline doesn’t have much point otherwise, and given his knowledge to date, he’s sure to uncover a dusty tome that will turn the tide against the dead. It could be the location of a crapton of Valyrian steel or dragon glass or some form of helpful magic the Maesters have hidden away.
Of course, he could prove bloody useless as always, and it’ll turn out an elderly maester Sam is the one recounting the story to his grown-up son.
