LOS ANGELES: Call her the Mother of Lattes? HBO’s Game Of Thrones season 8 episode 4 included a scene in which a takeout coffee cup – resembling the ubiquitous Starbucks containers – is clearly visible on a table in front of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) just before the 17:40 mark.
The out-of-time-and-place cup, which can be seen for about two seconds, was spotted by GOT fans shortly after the episode aired Sunday. As of Monday morning, it was on Twitter’s top 10 trending topics. Also trending on Twitter was the hashtag “Starkbucks”, a nod to the unexpected blending of House Stark and the Seattle-based coffee chain (although it’s not clear whether or not the cup is actually from Starbucks).
