hmm yes, they need to force the actor to lose weight to keep him synced with the character of the show.

a dialog saying "i lost weight" is not enough, go machinist on his ass.

or i dunno, understand the circumstances and move on?

So you'll suspend your disbelief for the sake of dragons, zombies, shadow demons, and resurrection, but not for fat kids?

Wha?
Because its an alternative reality with certain rules. It rules simply differ from our own. No where in the rules of this Universe has it been implied that you can be fat without cause.

Which is clearly very, very important to you. *scratches head* Do you hate characters in the show that wear modern make up and have perfect hair, too?
Are you fucking kidding me? How would I know what makeup the characters wear? You know they wore makeup and perfume back in the day, right? Regardless theres a clear distinction between inconsistencies [which is what your implying, but failing to do] in cosmetic design and an obese character amongst starving comrades. The latter makes no sense within the mechanics of the Universe or the plot.

..and that's why you hate the character? You would like Sam more if he would've gotten thinner during the season?
No, but it brings his character from annoying to intolerable. I just skip past his scenes lately.


Lol. of all the things: "Meh, theres the fat kid. Skip!"

Yeah, he's probably a little bit fatter than he should have been. The wall is also a lot thinner than it should have been judging by the stability of the construction and the climbing angle (they where climbing pretty much directly 90 degrees up, but the wall is only like 10 feet wide at the top). There are almost only perfectly shaped women and strong muscular guys in the show, which lets be honest at that time with their diet should be a rarity. Then theres the fact that anyone seems to be able to just chop or rip off bodyparts of people, even Tyrion!

There's a ton in this series that are out of place or just plain weird. But your biggest gripe being "This one guy is a tad fat. I can't watch this!" is hilarious.

And they all had great hair from start to end and weren't hilariously suntanned. The island was magic!

Actually there semes to be a "rule" that you do not really have to eat in the world of game of thrones. The wildlings can support a camp of 100k+ people in the north, daenerys and her people can cross the red waste without any kind of preparation,... If you see it that way it is perfectly consistent with the rest of the show :D
I think one should focs on the characters and if there actioning is plausible. Questioning physics(Even if you apply certain rules) will make it hard to enjoy the show.

Guys I have a great idea, just hear me out. How about... tier lists about the best ways to melt a wall made out of ice?

Yeah, I mean I wouldn't normally complain or even mention physical attributes being off unless it was that obvious. Okay Sam is fat, whatever, I'm not a fat person hater lol. But not only is he fat but the show constantly reminds us that he is. It is a big part of his character and something that really shapes him(no pun intended). He's more than that obviously, he's kind and caring. Probably has the biggest heart than anyone on the show. He's also a coward and high born. So I don't hate the character, but it just seems off. Why? Because not only does the show constantly scream "Sam is fat!" to me, but I'm also shown how little food there is north of the wall and I'm even shown how one of the nights watch members STARVED to death. And there is even a battle that takes place due to not getting enough food. Before being at Crasters keep, they were also in constant movement.

So again, I'm not one to usually care about this stuff. But being in constant movement, always being called fat and having those around you starve to death... You can't hate on people if that irks their brain because it should.

That being said, who cares. It's a mistake/something they didn't bother doing, so forget about it.

Anyways, I predict that Sam as a character will be skinny one day.

Whered this magic figure of 100k come from? We have zero idea how many there are, we have zero idea how long they've been prepping to run. You can freeze plenty of kinds of food, and so I dont consider it particularly suprising if a fairly large body of people, having advanced warning, collected and maintained enough of a high protein food to simply sustain themselves for...what? A month, two, three? We dont even know the time frame. It's quite possible that whatever explanation is given will be ridiculous, but thanks to ambiguity there is no way to dismiss it. Sam is fat amongst starving to death nights watchman. That is explicit and there is no ambiguity.

And Daenerys was starving and dieing of thirst [quite a few died] before she got lucky and stumbled into a city. Plenty of people make idiotic excursions into deserts and survive.

I still cannot wrap my head around how angry the fact that Sam is still fat seems to make you. It's so utterly random that of all the inconsistencies the show has, it's Sam being fat - something that's simply impossible to fix, mind you, given that they only have so many days to film everything. You expect a human being to lose significant amounts of weight for a TV show within just a few days - what ticks you off.

At the beginning of the season Mormont asked him if Sam sent the ravens. Sam didn't because he butchered them, ate some, froze the rest and still eating these extra supplies.

The timing of the Sam hate is unsurprising. Lonely people are just jealous that the fat guy got a girlfriend.
