Samwell Tarly joins the narrative just in the nick of time, as an unlikely answer to the existential and immaterial problems threatening Westeros. Cam argues that Sam embodies the hope, forgiveness, and second chances that lie at the heart of GRRM’s supposedly bleak and grim world. Maggie explores the Tolkien feints within this chapter, unspooling the echoes of fellowships, disappearing uncles, and loyal sidekicks. We work together to theorize our way through Jon’s impossibly poignant dream, and close out the discussion by resolving the Doctor Faustus curiosity we introduced a few weeks ago.
