It fleshes out a lot of him because hes just concentrating so much on how inadequate he feels.
But its about the power one person can have over you.
Its a universal theme in drama, but its always nice to explore.

I love the bluntness of that character.
Its really delightful; she just tells it like it is.
I also think that was when we started to find a really nice dynamic between the two of them.
Theyre starting to get familiar and being honest with each other.
I really like this kind of weird, old-married couple comedy that we started to find in season 3.
I may have saved you, but dont think that youre ruling this… now.
They saved each other.
He saved Gilly physically from a lot of the hardship that she had.
She saved Sam spiritually.
MURRAY:Its such a beautiful love story between those two.
Thats quite a pivotal point in the relationship between Sam and Jon.
Jon let Sam go when he still needed him.
The fact is Sam doesnt feel that he needs Jon anymore in the way that he used to.
Jon healed Sam very quickly, in terms of protecting him physically from all the hardships at Castle Black.
But as soon as Sam met Gilly, it was like Jon had fulfilled his purpose.
Now Im ready to go on and save somebody.
Id like to make Gilly feel the way that Jon made Sam feel.
Its a moment of huge self sacrifice with Jon because he senses that his work is done.
Theyve never liked me from the second I got here.
Im following these stupid rules that tell me I cant be with the girl that I love.
I refuse to give you guys any respect that you dont deserve.
My priorities have been narrowed down to two people and theyre all I need.
I dont need the Nights Watch as a crutch to hold myself up.
Im not loyal to you anymore.
Youve never been loyal to me.
Were not a band of brothers.
You just tried to cave my head in.
That was the moment that he felt he can finally break free, and he breaks free from Jon.
He knows what his priorities are and he knows its just two people and everything else doesnt matter anymore.
It proves how separate we are from the Jon storyline in season 6.
They dont even know whats happened, and theres no turning back for them.
They really are setting out on their own path and not looking back.
I had one costume the whole way through the show.
I had the worst costume, categorically the worst.
Its like a variety of sacks layered over each other.
In season 4, I got really excited because they gave me an apron.
I was so jealous of those Kings Landing girls, different outfit every fing scene.
I cant say anymore about what it might be, but it was a real treat.
It was so much fun.
