One question about Sam is what will he learn about the White Walkers (assuming he continues on to Old Town and studies up on White Walkers, as the show has lead us believe). He/we know that dragonglass and Valyrian steel can kill them. Bran knows how they were created (and maybe at some point can relay that message to everyone else). What could Sam learn that turns the tide in the war to come? Maybe what the White Walkers are actually after? Their hopes and dreams?
Do the White Walkers yearn for the throne (whatever that means, after they slaughter everyone who cared about the throne)? Just like killing men and bring winter down on everyone? Dornish girls? Some of Hot Pie's baking? So far they are just cold killing machines. Surely they have some motivation behind their actions.
