Game of Thrones S8E4: Since When Did Starbucks Open At Winterfell?
And we thought the GoT leaks were bad.
Game of Thrones’ latest episode was a lot to take in — mourning, revelry, sex, conspiracy and deaths.
But nothing beats this moment at the Winterfell Castle when our rag-tag team of heroes, fresh out of the deadly battle with the White Walkers, are getting drunk and Queen Danny is seen sitting with a Starbucks coffee mug!
Yep. We kid you not. One of the most expensive production sets on the planet forgot to remove a stray Starbucks coffee cup, from the shot!
Twitter user Zane, who is known to obsess over the show was one of the first people to spot this massive blooper, and even managed to do a super-zoom on it. Soon Starbucks jokes caught on like a Cersei’s wildfire in the other-wise caffeine-free world of Westeros.
Did Starbucks Pay GoT For This Blooper?
It was so in-your-face that some fans wondered if it was even intentional. How else can you overlook such an important detail in a shot when editing?
Some even took a dig at the poor lighting situation from the previous episode, using the disposable coffee cup.
Oh well, Starbucks in Winterfell totally make sense. How else will you deal with the extremely cold weather?
