Well then I take it all back - something interesting *did* happen last night.

What time index? Tell us so we can all confirm it.

It is during the first part look at the screen cap on the tweet.

Who ARE you? Are you THE troll on this board? I think you are.

reply

The Starbucks cup is actually on the show, how is that trolling?

reply

Don't mind Foebane72, he’s just jealous because he IS the resident troll here.

reply

How am I the resident troll? For supporting the show?

Are you sure about that? I looked at the entire banquet scene and watched the table in front of Dany, and not once did I see a close-up of the Starbucks cup. I think I may have seen it in a distant long shot, but I'll have to check again. It's possible that they've cut out or digitally erased the cup, or just zoomed in to Dany instead.

Also, I think the timestamp you provided is wrong, as in the version of the episode I've got, Dany gets up and walks out of the banquet hall around 15:50.

I'm in the UK and I'm watching GoT via NOWTV, a streaming service for Sky Atlantic, just so you know.

That pic I posted is a screen capture direct from the episode.

reply

I'm sure it is, but in the version I've got, at 16:35, it is the middle of Brienne's drinking game scene, right after Tyrion deduces she's a virgin. Sorry. As soon as I have a means of capturing screens, I'll show you. :)

reply

My version starts with the "last week on GoT" clips, so maybe that's the issue.

reply

In any case, I was watching Dany's table carefully and didn't see any anachronistic cup. Then again, I don't recall seeing the long shot that is in your screencap, and I figured they zoomed into Dany's face instead to cover it up, but it didn't look like a zoom.

reply

In mine you see the cup exactly when Tormund says "Most people get bloody murdered, they stay that way."

reply

Yes, I see it now, whynotwriteme, that line was exactly what I needed for the right moment!

In my version, the time index for that line is 14:48, and I can't believe I didn't notice it before.

It really is a momentary shot, but I'm sorry I doubted everyone here.

reply

The scene has the fireplace and Tormund with his arm around Jon on the left; candles, metal dish, coffee cup and Dany seated at the table to the right; and what might be be the side of Davos' head on the right.

reply

Yes, the pic I posted earlier https://i.imgur.com/xGtyMk6.png

Indeed. I had some trouble finding that shot reviewing the footage, probably as the episode gives the impression of that scene looking the same across its duration, being set in a room with people doing much the same thing. I think pointing out each element in the shot might help people locate the same shot to verify (the exact time signature is the best method though).

reply

Thanks for the info.

reply

Wow, what great free PR for Starbucks. I see free Starbuck for life for some prop guy.

reply

I find it hard to believe that it was accidental. How does the crew, director, actors miss that one? Oh yeah, last season, no one gives a shit anymore.

reply

intentional as hell that brand placement was !

lol... who can blame Emilia Clarke though she love the lattes just like the next person

reply

Yoda: For a dragon queen, it is time to get a caffeine fix as well, yes?

reply

Hey, maybe she's not going mad after all - maybe a little caffeine will set her right!

It wasn't specifically a Starbucks cup, and apparently, it's been digitally removed from some streaming broadcasts already:
