HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is one of the most expensive TV shows ever produced. Each episode of the show’s eighth and final season reportedly cost an average of $15 million to make. Unfortunately, money doesn’t buy everything.
Last week, viewers complained that the “Battle of Winterfell”, which featured the longest and most expensive battle scene in TV history, was too dark.

This week, the GoT production team may have provided one of the worst goofs in the history of the show when it appeared that they forgot to remove a Starbucks cup from Dany’s table during an early scene in episode 4.

Of course, the Internet was flabbergasted that a show with such an insane budget would screw up this badly.
The fact that there's a Starbucks cup in this ACTUALLY AIRED ON SCREEN SHOT, is all the proof I need that D and D did not give two SHITS about this final season pic.twitter.com/TiCAGTDm1P
