He explained that the way that the gyroscopes were presented in the opening credits and in the Citadel may indicate that the viewers are being a told a story from a book. It also hints that the gyroscope could be showing a path where people will gain knowledge about a story, in the same way that Sam will get to learn in the library.
The actor also made mention of how showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss' had the foresight to link the device from the opening sequence to an actual scene in the HBO series.
