Four predictions for the Game of Thrones Episode series finale

4. Sam is George R.R. Martin, sort of

Of all the theories about how Game of Thrones will end, this one is my absolute favorite. I love everything about Samwell Tarly, and him basically being a stand-in for A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin would be the perfect ending, if you ask me.

The theory goes that Sam is the one narrating the entire story we’ve seen over eight seasons and that he documented it all in a series of historical texts. Given how much he likes to read, this is a theory that actually makes sense.

More attention was brought to this theory after Martin told us which character he identifies with the most:

"I would probably be Samwell Tarly. I love Sam, too. He’s a great character. Tyrion might be who I want to be, but Sam is probably closer to who I actually am. The fat kid who likes to read books and doesn’t like to go up a lot of stairs."

I mean, do we really need any more confirmation than that?
