Note: This article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 4, 'The Last of the Starks'.
Game of Thrones' latest episode had everything from dragon slayers to treasonous whispers, but now some eagle-eyed fans have noticed an altogether more unwelcome moment.
In the filmmaking business, inconsistencies and errors can slip through to the final product even after dozens of eyes have scoured over the material. Unfortunately, 'The Last of the Starks' has provided one of the silliest blunders to date.
Because nothing fantasy drama series like a takeaway coffee cup.
Yes, as you can see thanks to these social media users, one scene featuring Daenerys Targaryen in the halls of Winterfell includes the (no doubt delicious) unplanned prop.
One viewer shared: "HOLY. SHIT. Did anyone else catch the coffee cup in tonight's episode of #GameofThrones ?! I guess they have Starbucks in Westeros. #Starbucks #GOT #WhatIsMediumMayNeverRoast."

No, we did not make that up. Meanwhile, the trailer for season 8's fifth episode is now online and it teases another huge battle set to commence in King's Landing.
Armed with one less fire-breathing weapon, will Daenerys retaliate in style? Let's just hope she leaves the coffee at home this time...
