Move over, coffee cup—there’s a new Game of Thrones beverage blooper in town

facebooktwitterreddit

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is the most divisive in its history, with fans dinging the show for what they see as a frantic pace and unearned character arcs. However, there’s something more insidious lying just beneath it all, hiding in plain sight where many choose not to look: Craft Services.

During Sunday night’s series finale, “The Iron Throne,” not one but TWO water bottles appeared during the scene in the Dragonpit:

This isn’t the first time some modern-day beverage has made its way into a scene this season. You may recall the infamous coffee cup sitting in front of Daenerys in “The Last of the Starks”:

HBO quickly removed that coffee cup from reruns and will probably do the same with the water bottles, but the internet remembers all.

Let’s take a closer look at these bad boys. You can actually see one water bottle next to Ser Davos (Liam Cunnigham) in the shot below:

And then there’s one next to Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) in another:

Look, I’m sure it was warm at the ruins of Italica, where the scenes at the Dragonpit were filmed, and I can’t begin to imagine how hot it is in those costumes, so I understand the need for water, but maybe cleaning these little bloopers up in post-production would have been the smart play, especially since some fans are looking for anything to nitpick and be mad about.

Alternate theory: in the Small Council scene, the group talks about cleaning up King’s Landing water supply. Maybe Sam and Davos were just ahead of the curve.
