Anyone notice how much Sam keeps going on about girls? The only think that seems to motivate him that bad pussy. Shame Randyll didn't try bribing him with women. That would have done the trick.
I never really noticed it until this rewatch.
It's them trying to foreshadow Sam/Gilly clumsily. AFAIR, Sam only pays attention to Gilly when she goes to Sam to begin with in the books--beyond that, there's none of the real "boy's talk" like in the show.
I know, it makes me think of the last season and the Sam/Jon bro talk. Pisses me off.
Sam: I totally banged Gilly. Jon: Good job bro but now you need to go to Oldtown and become a Maester. Sam: Can I take Gilly with me and keep banging her? Jon: Sure bro but please do some learning while your there. Sam: I will try but but fuck if I care about my vows. Sam out.
Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.
Craster has 19 daughters and there are 19 castles on the Wall, coincidence I think not!
Even in the books Ghost does seem to have a thing for Sam. He licks Sam's tears the first time they meet. Plus it's set up for last season when he protects both Sam and Gilly from her attackers.
