The Game of Thrones producers and actors knew that not everyone would be happy with how the saga ended but they probably didn’t expect the finale to go viral over another set design snafu. Remember the star of the episode “The Last of the Starks,” that lone coffee cup sitting in front of Emilia Clarke? well turns out there were more drink easter eggs to be found in this final season.
During the finale episode, fans set Twitter on fire after they spotted rogue plastic water bottles sat at the feet of two different actors in the same scene. At this point, it appears the prop people made more mistakes than Tyrion Lannister.

The water bottles first appear at 46:19 on HBO Now, and then re-appear over the course of several minutes. Peeking out behind the foot of actor John Bradley who plays Samwell Tarly is the first bottle.

In response to the previous coffee cup error, HBO released the written statement, “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake, Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea,” and edited the cup out of HBO Now and HBO Go, which we assume they will do with the water bottles. Executive producer Bernadette Caulfield took a more apologetic tone in her responses to the last debacle and said she was shocked. “I can’t believe it,” she told WYNC. “Our on-set prop people and decorators are so on it one thousand percent. I just honestly can’t, I’m like, is that really? Because nowadays you can’t believe what you see because people can put things into a photo that really doesn’t exist. But I guess maybe it was there, I’m not sure. But, yeah. We’re sorry!”

However, Caulfield also told NPR in an interview that these things happen, and “if that’s the worst thing they’re finding, then we’re in good shape.” Still, fans had their opinions on such continuity errors.
