Game Of Thrones Fan Theory Suggests Bran And Sam Could Help Defeat The Night King


Warning: This article contains spoilers for the final episode of the seventh season of Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones fans might hate Bran (Isaac Hemsptead Wright) and Sam (John Bradley-West) for ruining the love sequence between Jon (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) by narrating the King of the North's true parentage while the Northern Bastard and Dragon Queen finally slept together.

However, despite feeling conflicted by Bran's juxtaposed narration, some fans believe that Sam and Bran's team-up might be the strongest weapon Westeros has against the Night King. Knowing Samwell's thirst for knowledge and Bran's ability to see through the past and the present, a new Game of Thrones fan theory suggests the two might be able to help save Westeros from the Great War if they work together.

"...Samwell's master codex. He is Encyclopedia BritBrannica. To have the most curious character meet and partner with the most omniscient character is to create the Internet in Westeros. Sam won't have to dig through books and tomes anymore. He can simply BRoogle the answer and away we go.

They are instantly the most powerful people in Westeros.

EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger! Tis' my first! Also, people are rightly commenting that "Power is Power" and that they are not necessarily instantly top-dogs. It certainly gives them the potential to be the most powerful/dangerous."

Based on last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, it's quite evident that Bran needs a little guidance to find information through the past, and Sam could definitely help him find vital information by steering him in the right direction (like when Sam directed Bran towards Lyanna and Rheagar's marriage). Sure their combined efforts might not instantly turn them into major players in the Great War, but it'll certainly help those fighting for the living.

Game of Throne s season 8 premieres sometime 2018 or 2019.
