Sam's final shot in "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" seemed more than a little foreboding, with him and Gilly gazing at each other in bed over the sleeping form of Little Sam on the eve of battle, calling to mind the elderly couple in Titanic, right before they go down with the ship. Still, we think Gilly and Little Sam will be in far more jeopardy down in the crypts than Sam will be up on the wall. As Sam poins out a few times while the people of Winterfell prepare for battle, he's made it through several skirmishes with the White Walkers intact and has even taken out a few of the dead himself. Most likely, he'll get through this one, too, and will live to eventually become a maester, although he'll suffer some devastating losses along the way.
