Not a stretch at all. GRRM has said that Sam from the Night's Watch is in fact based on and meant to be a homage to Sam from The Lord of the Rings. He's one of the very few genuinely good people in this story.
There is a pretty cool Easter Egg in the opening credits you might like. Pause on the iron rings that circle the golden globe. The first time, there is a dragon. The second time, there is a wolf, lion and stag (maybe more, it's been a while since I've watched) attacking the dragon. In the last scene, there is a wolf, lion and a bear (again, maybe others) bowing to a crowned stag. The three scenes depict Robert's Rebellion.
So wait, who's the bear? The Mormonts? Wouldn't they be much too minor to be included as a symbol of the rebellion? Are you sure that bear isn't a rose or an eagle :)
We can all remember that epic scene where he got his name, with him yelling "Can do, no fuss!" over and over again, as Sansa begged him not to drop the rope holding her up above the reach of a swarm of Stone Men.
I wrote a short story as a kid about a brave knight rescuing a princess from an evil wizard named Izadork, Gandoof could've been a great assistant to Izadork. Lol
George RR Martin added the second r to his name because his hero is JRR Tolkien. And Sam is the bestie in The Lord of the Rings as well as Game of Thrones. You can also see the borrowed some things from the movie Dragonslayer (1981).
There were things said or done that will make more sense or have a bigger impact later in the show. Sometimes within the same season. Sometimes it takes several seasons. That being said, the show really is best watched a second time to catch all these little hints and portends.
Binge watched a lot of videos this week but this is my first comment and I just wanted to say "Goddammit why did I start another GoT reaction series I knew I'd get addicted to before they finished Season 1!" But seriously; loving the channel so far you guys are great and I'm sure you'll hit your 40k goal in no time. Keep up the good work!
Replace a name in a movie or TV show title with "Gandoof". I'll start with a few: Gandoof Powers: International Man of Mystery Run Gandoof Run (Run Lola Run if this is a little too obscure for some people) Monty Python's Life of Gandoof My Cousin Gandoof
Maybe the real Gandoof was the reactors we watched along the way.
Would the real Gandoof please stand up.
"I'm not questioning your honor. I'm denying its existence" That is one of the best burns of all time.
Robert's bastard son is named Gendry, but his close friends call him Gandoof.
I bet your minds were blown when gandoof stark showed up haha

Pippin the Hobbit is represented by Pypar (Pyp), and Merry is represented by Eddison (Dolorous Edd). Dolorous as antonym to Merry.
@@gerardolopez6851 Good call. You're right.
I believe GRRM has also said Sam is his self-insert character?

Honestly pretty disappointed they didn't include Gandufus, he was my favourite character from the books :/

You thought Littlefinger was gonna be kind & understanding? Oh you sweet summer child...you still have alot to learn.

“Gandoof”. Must live on! From now on, any goofy things on the channel should get a shout out! “Gandoof!!!!”
Oh, yeah, the reparte between Aria and Gandoof is some of the best! Lol. His name in Gendry.

Gandoof Powers: International Man of Mystery
Run Gandoof Run (Run Lola Run if this is a little too obscure for some people)
Monty Python's Life of Gandoof

All hail the mighty Gandoof! First of his name!!!
Sam is the only boyfriend material in this entire show.

#Gandoofsupremecy
Y’all should watch Godzilla the series

GoT already have a character names Sam, we don't need 2
