‘Game of Thrones’
Makes Venti-Sized Mistake …
Who Left the Starbucks Cup?!

“Game of Thrones” is down to its final 2 episodes, and while the impending battle between Daenerys and Cersei heats up … somebody might get killed for a Starbucks cup.
Somehow, the hit HBO series — that has spent millions upon millions of dollars and gone to great lengths to shoot some of the most epic and intricate scenes in TV history — made a boneheaded mistake by leaving the branded coffee cup in the middle of a scene.
The Starbucks can be spotted at the 17:38 mark of the episode — the fourth of final season titled “The Last of the Starks” — on a table near Dany as she observes Jon Snow being praised for his valor by his pal, Tormund … and she’s not too happy about it.
Also unhappy — most likely the showrunners, writers, director and script supervisor of the episode.
Unless of course we’re all fools, and we missed a Starbucks being built in Winterfell among all the other twisting plotlines … or maybe George R.R. Martin included it in the books.
More than likely, though, this is just an unexpected gaffe … one that even Bran didn’t see coming.
