HBO edited that coffee cup out of Game of Thrones episode

And now his watched is ended.

HBO has edited out the coffee cup that made a cameo on last Sundayโ€™s Game of Thrones. The TV network confirmed that going forward, all airings of โ€œThe Last of the Starksโ€ episode will no longer feature the errant cup, which was accidentally left behind on set by an โ€œexhaustedโ€ crew member.

The gaffe was spotted at the 17:39 mark of the episode, during a scene in which Tormund Giantsbane is toasting Jon Snow during a post-battle celebratory meal. Daenerys Targaryen is seated nearest to the coffee, though she never acknowledges it.

Viewers naturally lost their minds over the incident, butย GOT art director Hauke Richter said it was all being โ€œblown out of proportion [because] it has not happened with Thronesย so far.โ€

One week before what will forever be known as โ€œThe Coffee Cupโ€ episode,ย GoT drew criticism for battle scenes that were so dark they could barely be seen.

As a refresher, hereโ€™s what โ€œThe Last of the Starksโ€ looked like before HBOโ€™s update:

Personally, I wouldโ€™ve much preferred a cold Baja Blast:
