Game of Thrones' Latest Episode Was Almost Great Until a Starbucks Cup Appeared


The fourth Game of Thrones episode in its final season was quieter than The Battle of Winterfell but still had its moments of shock and awe. A character died, two others had sex, and many felt like it was Game of Thrones doing what it did best, especially with that big tease for the next episode. However, this episode also has one of the series' biggest slip-ups in the show's history and now it's resulted in a lot of memes.

Yeah, you guys know what we're talking about. That Starbucks cup.

For some reason, no one thought about removing the obvious Starbucks cup that was clearly seen in one of the episode's scenes. While future releases will probably CGI the cup out of this shot, many are surprised that it didn't happen during the editing phase. Unless this was an elaborate joke done to get fans riled up, this was just a dumb move.

Anyway, here are some memes:

Obviously, Game of Thrones will recover from this. In fact, many thought this was a huge improvement over the last episode, which many see as The Last Jedi of Game of Thrones moments. That might be a bit much but the anti-climactic death of the Night King and the dark shots made it a controversial episode for many, despite the many defenses of fans.

Game of Thrones comes out weekly on HBO, though it only has two episodes left. The show can be streamed on HBO GO.
