One of the most misunderstood scenes in Game of Thrones is Sam curing Jorah’s greyscale.
It looked like Sam discovered some secret cure that the maesters were too ignorant to find.
That’s not what happened.
The maesters already knew about the treatment.
In fact, Sam only learned about it because it was recorded in their own library.
The reason they didn’t use it was because it was considered far too dangerous.
The procedure had a high chance of killing the patient, and an equally terrifying chance of infecting the person performing it.
That’s why Sam carried it out in secret, at night, and made Jorah stay silent.
What looked like a miracle cure was actually a desperate gamble that most maesters considered too risky to attempt
It’s one of those details that completely changes the scene.
Sam wasn’t smarter than the Citadel.
He was just willing to do something the Citadel wouldn’t
Actress Quinta Brunson prank called comedian Marcello Hernandez and had him FREAKING OUT after asking why he wasn’t on the set of Abbott Elementary 😭💀👀
