Game of Thrones (2011)

4 corrected entries in season 1

(32 votes)

Correction: When watching the actual episode, in the close-up, we see Robb (not Jon) place his hand at the front of Bran's shoulder, and then we also see that Bran turns his body so that Robb's hand already moves before this close-up ends. It then dissolves into the wide shot, and at the very start of this wide shot, Robb's hand is in the same shoulder area, and then Robb stretches his arm across to the center of Bran's back as they begin to walk. The two provided screenshots (and caption "hand changes position") are not an accurate representation of the episode's onscreen continuity.

The Pointy End - S1-E8

Corrected entry: After Khal Drogo is wounded by Mago in the shoulder/chest, Drogo tears out his esophagus, turns around and his large cut is gone. The cut appears again as he sits down.

Correction: The cut is there. Due to the distance of the shot and the size of the wound it is not visible but carefully looking shows the wound.

Baelor - S1-E9

Corrected entry: Near the end of the episode there is a shot of Daenerys walking out of the tent where the witch is performing her sorcery with the stallion. As the camera pans around her, you can see, first in her back and then in her armpit, that she is wearing a modern, brown bra under her dress. Minutes later you can see the bra strap on her right shoulder while Ser Jorah Mormont is carrying her in his arms back to the tent. (00:32:55 - 00:34:47)

Jack the Rigger

Correction: A couple of things: there's nothing saying she wouldn't wear undergarments from time to time. The series is not set in Earth's past or history, it's a fictional world that experiences multiple year seasons. For that reason, there's no reason she couldn't have what appears to be a modern bra, and we don't know what kind of materials they used for making clothes. They use magic, wildfire, as well as linen-looking clothes, leather armor, cotton clothes, etc, why not undergarments? Even if it was based on Earth history, bras have been around since ancient Greece.

Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things - S1-E4

Corrected entry: When Jon talks to Sam about almost having sex with Ros, he says that their child, in case of a pregnancy, would have been a bastard named Snow as well. This is impossible, because the bastard surnames (like Snow in the North) are only for acknowledged children of noblemen. Jon's children wouldn't have the right to carry a surname, as he's not a nobleman.

Tanngrisnir

Correction: Actually, it is just for noblemen. Bastards of smallfolk (the peasantry) in Westeros do not receive a bastard surname, only those of noble birth do. But Jon is not smallfolk. Despite being a bastard, he is indeed of noble birth and children of noble bastards are allowed to take the surname for themselves and most do.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: Any child born out of wedlock is a bastard. It's not just a name for noblemen, even peasants have to get married to legitimize their children. Snow is also not a surname, so if Jon and Ros would get married and have a child that child will not be called Snow like his/her father.

Bastard surnames are indeed only for high-born because smallfolk in Westeros do not have or use surnames. Children of unmarried smallfolk may be bastards, but they do not get a bastard surname. Trueborn children of high-born bastards may take the bastard surname or change it if they like.

The Last Of The Starks - S8-E4

Other mistake: During the scene in the banquet hall, as Tormund says "most people get bloody murdered, they stay that way", look at Daenerys in the background - a disposable coffee cup is on the table in front of her. This brown cup with a white plastic lid is nothing remotely like the style of cups they're all drinking from in the scene. HBO acknowledged the slip up and digitally edited it out on streaming services, reruns and future DVD releases.

Fire and Blood - S1-E10

Trivia: One of the severed heads on a spike is that of former president George W. Bush. Before shooting the scene, George RR Martin asked writers and producers David Benioff and D.B.Weis to have a cast of their 3 heads to be put on the spikes, but for budget reasons they opted to get a box from HBO's warehouse with used severed heads. They noted that one was Bush's, but they put a wig on it and got away with nobody noticing. In the Blu-Ray commentary the producers revealed the story, and got a lot of criticism from the right.

Season 1 generally

Question: Why is Khal Drogo willing to give Viserys an army in exchange for Daenerys? Until she is almost poisoned, he seems to have no real interest in The Iron Throne or the Targaryen dynasty, considering how she has to beg him to cross the Narrow Sea. Why didn't he just marry a native Dothraki woman?

Answer: This is explained more in the book. Khal Drogo and his bloodriders do intend to help Viserys take the throne, however they do things in their own time. This is what causes Viserys's frustration. In the book, Illyrio Mopatis tells Viserys that he has already waited his entire life to claim The Iron Throne and that waiting a few more years isn't that big of a deal. The Dothraki are a nomadic tribe, which is largely why they have no interest in invading and sacking King's Landing. However, since Khal Drogo eventually grows to love Dany, her assassination attempt by the Westerosi compels him to seek revenge.
