Game of Thrones is in its tumultuous final season, with fans expecting a lot from it’s
big finale coming out this Sunday at the time of this recording.
However, for a show that is so meticulous, it seems as though this past season was a
tad rushed -- not because of story -- but because of the obvious mistakes the creators
missed and let go to air.
So today on Beyond The Screen, we’re going to be counting down the Top 10 Worst Mistakes
In Game of Thrones.
Lets jump in.
10 Floppy Sword Heading over to Season 6 for this number.
In Episode 9, Jon Snow can be seen riding into the Battle of the Bastards -- however,
instead of his mighty sword on his hip -- the mighty sword made out of the strongest material
in all of the Seven Kingdoms -- Valyrian Steel...it is instead a rubber, floppy sword.
Floppy Valyrian Rubber.
Noice.
9 Inconsistent Scars In Season 6 Episode 2, when Jon is brought
back from the dead -- his scars from being stabbed miraculously change shape.
Suddenly two scars have disappeared and the third has changed shape.
Weird.
8 Patagonia Jacket All the way back in season 1, HBO made quite
the blunder by allowing an article of clothing into the shot that definitely wasn’t around
back in this medieval time.
During a scene with Jaime Lannister you can see an extra behind him wearing jeans and
a Patagonia jacket.
Yikes.
Definitely not King’s Landing material.
7 Power Cable Jumping ahead to season 5, in one scene where
Stannis is leaning up against a tree, bleeding out, you can, clear as day, see a laptop power
cable in the shot, right under the dying Baratheon’s leg.
Now, it’s likely that this wasn’t actually a laptop cable, but instead a pump of sorts
to keep the fake blood flowing.
6 Sand Snakes Sticking to season 5 for this number -- in
the episode Unbowed, Unbent Unbroken, Nymeria Sands tried to capture Myrcella.
Now, in one shot she is holding a whip in her right hand, but just moments later it
magically transforms itself into a twisted dagger.
Magic.
5 George W Bush Now, this one is just great.
Back in Episode 10 of Season 1, one of the decapitated heads we see on a spike in the
Red Keep was a George W Bush mask.
Genius...just take a look.
4 Sansa Is A Targaryen Once again, we’re heading back to season
one for this number, where mistakes were few and far between, but a little more acceptable.
In the opening credits of the show, actress Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, was
shown as belonging to House Targaryen instead of House Stark -- major blunder.
3 New King’s Landing Now, this goof has left many fans of Game
of Thrones absolutely outraged -- because it makes zero sense whatsoever.
In Season 8, Episode 4 fans were left confused when the entire landscape and geography of
King’s Landing completely changed.
What was once mountainous was now desert-like.
And, in the opening credits, they seemingly moved the sprawling city making it landlocked
instead.
Cersei literally moved King’s Landing so that it no longer has a harbor -- she’s
way more powerful than we thought.
2 Greyscale Now, this one is just a major no-no, and one
of the biggest continuity errors, particularly for the story.
In season 5 -- the season with the most mistakes seemingly - Ser Jorah Mormont goes to rescue
Daenerys -- using his hand to reach out and grab her -- the hand that is infected with
the incredibly contagious greyscale disease.
Yup.
1 That Coffee Cup It was just two weeks ago when viewers were
smacked in the face by an object that certainly did not belong in the land of Westeros -- that’s
for sure.
In a scene that was supposed to be a medieval-era fantasy, HBO, somehow, forgot to remove the
coffee cup that was placed next to Daenerys Targaryen.
Of course, fans immediately took to Twitter to troll the show, with their pictures of
the coffee cup, forcing HBO to immediately digitally remove it from the episode.
More interesting still, the screw up gave Starbucks an estimated $11 million of free
publicity.
Well, there we have it!
