Listen, Game Of Thrones is a huge undertaking. A massive project beyond comprehension for most.
So many moving parts, so many intricacies that most of us will never truly know, because they all work so seemlessly to give us one of the greatest TV shows ever made.
However, when a mistake does happen, it is going to stand out here more than ever, not just because there are usually so few of them, but because this is a fantastic land, presumably set some time in the “past”.
Which is why – during Season 8 Episode 4, titled “The Last Of The Starks” -when viewers spotted a coffee cup sitting on the table behind Jon Snow and kind-of-but-not-really in front of Dany, everyone clocked it immediately.

On the plus side, it is good to know that Starbucks have expanded their empire into Westeros.
