There is a famous promo shoot of DA in which a water bottle is present. MissLucas beat me to it!

I've heard 2 things today.. One that it was deliberate.. I'm going to post the second thing a different friend said. Throwing this out there as someone who has worked with editors for a great many years. The Starbucks cup is an obvious one but it's really not unusual. It's not like people don't care about continuity. Creators absolutely do their best with it & there's whole careers dedicated to it. However, when a show gets to the edit bay, continuity takes a back seat to takes with the best performances. My favorite example is the movie The Fugitive which is filled with continuity errors (keep an eye on Tommy Lee Jones's scarf next time you watch it) & by Harrison Ford's own admission it was a deeply trouble production with no one sure a good movie was in there. It was but they didn't find it until the edit bay. You cut based on the best performance. In other words, a great take with a Starbucks cup in the shot is better than a mediocre take after the Starbucks cup was moved out of frame "But why didn't they roto it out or cover it up digitally?" Because it's a show made by people & every once in a while something slips through. In a show that rich, that dense with that many moving parts - it's very easy for me to see how no one noticed. I'm guessing there's probably a few more of these in previous seasons.

I have a lot of friends who work in the business and several think it was deliberate,FWIW

I'm pretty sure that no one has said those things were OK. Neither Tywin Lannister or Robert Baratheon were worthy of the throne. Neither one are seen as good guys Jon would also be a terrible king

I dont fault Dany for this. I think the dragon himself might have gotten the heck out of dodge. If not, I dont blame Dany for wanting to regroup and for not being prepared to risk her last dragon right then and there.

Ive just realized how much this reminds me of Hastings. A big reason that Harold lost was because his soldiers had just fought the Norwegians at the Battle of Stamford Bridge up north. Williiam invaded down south and forced them to quickly move southward and fight another battle. The army did not have enough time to rest and recuperate. They lost. They had no option but to fight right away, they were being invaded. Dany should have waited a little bit. She should have let the dragon and the army heal a bit

Yes, It would have

The fact that soldiers ideally need a rest after a taxing battle hardly needs a military expect to figure out.

"When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who wronged me! We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!" "I will take what is mine with fire and blood."

Its all perspective. I think she's been an unfit ruler for years.

There will never be a situation though, where I think its OK to feed someone to dogs. Even Ramsay. Execute him , fine. Its not about who HE was , its about who WE are(we the ones doing the killing) Well, for the record as one who does not view Dany as a good guy, I dont view Arya as a good one either. They aren't evil, but they are also not "good".

You know, when I was in the Marines I was a cook.(yeah yeah, a cook. My original MOS was intel and lets just say that I got screwed because I was female and had a Top Sgt who wanted me "in a more appropriate job for a women") And Im aging myself here but i served during the First Gulf War. Those men were totally gung ho to go. My mess hall supported the air field. We would get called in to give those men a meal before they headed to the airfield across the street.They were called in on short notice and had little for knowledge that they were shipping off to a war zone. Many of those gung ho men were crying. Some were shaking. I can't write Sam off because he was cowering and crying when fighting the undead. No one knows how they will react in that situation. Even Marines get scared. Even marines cry. If this was the last we have seen of Sam then he did a job well done in general.

Those things are not OK either.

Thats a lot to put on a Starbucks cup

You know, Im not a Dany fan. I have real issues with her, but I agree that the Dany-Sansa issue seems to be mostly Sansa. Dany even stepped in, sucked it up and tried to to make peace

Jon would be a terrible king

Thats not justice, its revenge

And this is why some of us view Dany differently. To me, this and other things are not OK

People seem to see mad and evil as the same thing. Some of these characters are evil some are ruthless, none are mad

He is her last dragon. I think she really really didnt want to risk him right then and there. I cant really blame her. I think shes going to be very careful about where she deploys them now

I agree, Dany is not unstable or “mad”. I still think she will be terrible on the iron throne though

I dont even care about the throne. I just want it gone. It seems to corrupt everyone involved in it. Im tired of the who is the better absolute monarch game. Sure Dany or Jon would be better than Cersie, but at the end of they day its just another authoritarian regime by people who think god/bloodline makes thm special. I dint hate Dany and I dont really want her to die, but it seems the only path to the end of this damned bloody throne.

I would not be surprised if Jon dies too. I dont think Arya will
