From coffee breaks to disappearing extras and rubber swords, there have been some unexpected sights in Westeros over the years. Here are a few of the biggest on screen mistakes you can catch and chuckle at throughout Game of Thrones.
During the fourth episode of Game of Thrones’ eighth and final season, the majority of the show’s characters found themselves celebrating their victory against the Army of the Dead at Winterfell in a raucous party scene filled with drinking games, dirty jokes, and even a marriage proposal. As Jon Snow is venerated by his friends for his valiant efforts during the Battle of Winterfell and Daenerys watches, a coffee cup is clearly visible on the table in front of her, sticking out like a sore thumb among mugs of ale, goblets of wine, and other medieval-style props typical of Thrones’ time and style.
Naturally, fans didn’t let this pass quietly, and they stormed the internet to make a million Starbucks jokes, and even the cast got in on the joke. HBO, for their part, released a jokey statement about the mistake but went on to digitally remove the cup from the episode.
