Game of Thrones has always been about who ends up on the Iron Throne, and in the series finale — Season 8 episode 6, “The Iron Throne“, we got to see the Iron Throne melted down by Dragon fire.
However, we did get a new ruler for Westeros, one who was selected by all the important lords and ladies of Westeros — Bran Stark. This came out of nowhere for most fans of the show, who were expecting Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen to end up on the throne. The fans took to Twitter with a variety of reactions:

How to become king in GOT:
– Be a warrior like Jon Snow ❌
– Be a strategist like Tyrion Lannister ❌
– Be cruel like Cersei Lannister ❌
– Have 3 dragons like Daenerys Targaryen ❌
– Roll your eyes like Bran Stark ✅#GameOfThronesFinale #GameOfThrones

Game of Thrones finished its glorious run last year. Not only was it perhaps the most-watched show of all time, but it was also the most closely followed series of all time. Fans were absolutely obsessed with it and you can still find various fan theories still floating around in the aisles of Reddit world. However, when you have such passionate fans it comes with a cost. While the show had set an immensely high standard for itself, all hell broke loose when the fans spotted a Starbucks coffee cup in one episode, followed by two water bottles. Now the same mistake has been repeated and fans aren’t letting this one go as well!
As per the report from Metro, Emma Watson starrer Little Women had its own Game of Thrones moment. Apparently fans spotted a water bottle in one scene in a film set in 1860s. This led to an onslaught yet again from the fans and they were quick to point out the mistake in their own style.
This immediately brought back the memories of a coffee cup incident in one Game of Thrones episodes. The reactions then were so ferocious that the producer Bernie Caulfield had to apologize.
She had then said:
“We’re sorry! Prop people and decorators are so, you know, so on it 1,000 percent. If that’s the worst thing they’re finding, then we’re in good shape.”
Stars too took it in their strides and made jokes on it in their numerous TV appearances. Liam Cunnigham and Sophie Turner had then jokingly blamed Emilia Clarke for the gaffe.
Cunnigham had said:
“These things happen, it’s a big job, people run in, and Emilia (Clarke) probably drinks too much coffee.”
Clarke too had her share of fun and blamed Jason Mamoa for the incident! She had then posted a photo on Instagram and wrote:
“Did I just stumble upon the truth here?! The cup bearer does not drinketh the Starbucks tea… oh and this ain’t a spoiler just a lost wanderer coming home for a mid-filming cuppa.”
Any which way it’s not ideal for any film or show to have such incidents but whether we like it or not, these things happen. Well, at least we get our laughs out of it!
What are your reactions to the latest water bottle sighter? Have you seen the Little Women? Did you spot it as well?

Game of Thrones Season 8 was the world received season of the show. The fans are still complaining about the bad writing, while others are busy criticizing those that are hating on the final season. Among all the noise, one fan got creative and made a hilarious deepfake video of Jon Snow apologising for Season 8. Read on!
YouTuber Eating Things put out the video, and it has quickly gone viral, getting nearly 2 million views at the time of writing this article. The video shows the funeral speech that Jon Snow gives after the Battle of Winterfell, but deepfaked into an apology for Season 8. Check it out:
The fans have been waiting for such an apology from the showrunners, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, but we don’t think that’s happening anytime soon. For now, this should do.

Game of Thrones is over, but we still have those prequel spin-off shows coming up. However, there’s a catch, these shows won’t star any of the actors from Game of Thrones. However, Jimmy Kimmel has his own solution for this, and he has done that by putting Jaime Lannister in the Full House universe. Read on!
Full House, for those that don’t know, was a popular sitcom that ran from 1987 to 1995, starring legendary actors like Bob Saget, Dave Coulier and John Stamos. This spin-off skit that debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! has Jaime Lannister join the Full House family, replacing John Stamos’ Uncle Jessie, with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s Uncle Jaime. Called Full House Lannister, this wouldn’t be a bad spin-off for Jaime, definitely better than dying with Cersei was:
Cut. It. Off. Hilarious. Anybody who loved Full House and Game of Thrones will definitely love this one. On a related note, it would be great if Netflix’s sequel of Full House, called Fuller House, could bring Nikolaj in for a guest role.
