The final season of Game of Thrones may have been two years in the making – but that doesn’t mean it’s been free from errors.
There was yet another moment in this final episode of the fantasy drama that caught eagle eyed fans attention.
Clare Stephens and Holly Wainwright debrief on the latest episode of Game of Thrones on the Mamamia Recaps podcast. Post continues after audio…
Two weeks after the Starbucks coffee cup debacle (see below) yet another modern day refreshment has made it onto the Game of Thrones set, in the form of a plastic water bottle.
It was an important scene for the franchise, one where they are deciding who should take The Iron Throne, but some fans (with impeccable eyesight might we add) where too busy looking at the glimpse of bottle peeking out beside Samwell Tarly’s boot.

Calling them "editing fails" is a failure in itself. Most of the stuff-ups belong to the Art dept. If an editor were to cut the parts out, the story would suffer, then resulting in bad editing.
Only the cup is art dept. The pencil is a non-issue (clearly there would be writing implements in this world), the cable is SFX, and I’m positive the necklace and scars would have been directors making decisions to thrown out continuity for the sake of the shot. The sword is just what happens when you have to do stunts. And the titles are usually a whole seperate company. But I doubt the average reader knows any of those departments, and editing is the point where all of those things could have been caught and reshot or fixed with CG.
Actually, it’s only partially the Art department who are responsible. The other person is whoever is in charge of continuity.
