Game of Thrones (2011)

The Iron Throne - S8-E6

Character mistake: Davos advises Grey Worm to claim land in the Reach and start his own house. Since Grey Worm is a eunuch, he cannot start his own house, as he cannot father children to pass his name and lands onto.

Booksmart (2019)

Trivia: This film shares a lot of similarities with the 2007 film Superbad. In fact, Beanie Feldstein, who plays Molly, is the sister of Jonah Hill, who plays Seth in Superbad.

Game of Thrones (2011)

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - S8-E2

Stupidity: It is decided that those who cannot fight will hide in the crypt from the army of the dead, and Jon Snow suggests during the war council to put Bran in the crypt as well, "where it's safest." Jon knows full well that the Night King can resurrect the dead and add them to his army. Not only should he not suggest to hide Bran there, he should be telling everyone not to go anywhere near the crypt.

Game of Thrones (2011)

Young At Heart - S8-E17

Revealing mistake: When Tim gives Jill the framed photo of the two of them on their way to the Doobie Brothers concert, you can tell Tim has just been photoshopped into an existing picture of Patricia Richardson, as he is slightly out of focus despite the fact that they are standing next to each other.

Wake up, Little Cory - S2-E7

Trivia: After the introduction of Harley Keiner, and his role in this episode in particular, Will Friedle's father was afraid that the character was being positioned to be an updated version of the Fonz who would have frequent interactions with Cory, and as a result, Eric would either be scaled back or dropped from the show entirely. He even said that his father, who is a lawyer, was so livid over the idea that he contacted his agent to make sure it wouldn't happen.

Game of Thrones (2011)

The Red Woman - S6-E1

Stupidity: When Trystane is engaging Nymeria in combat, he pivots right in front of Obara, whom he knows is armed with a spear, and leaves his entire backside exposed. Anyone with a modicum of sword training would know not to expose themselves to an armed opponent like that. He ends up immediately being speared through the back of the head because of it.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: They ask him who he chooses to fight. He chooses Nymeria, believing the others will not interfere. He was wrong.

lionhead

Two women snuck aboard his ship intending to murder him, and he trusted them to be honest about fighting fair? That just adds to the stupidity.

Phaneron

That's naivety at best, not stupidity. Plus they didn't sneak on board, they announced their intentions.

lionhead

If two armed people entered your house and told you they were going to murder you, but would give you the opportunity to fight your way out, would you actually believe them as well as immediately turn your back to one of them? Trystane is a prince who undoubtedly had education and combat training. This goes beyond naivety.

Phaneron

You are forgetting he is also only 15 or 16 years old and never left Dorne (what I take from the show). What does he really know? He probably never actually fought anyone in his life.

lionhead

The women that killed him were previously locked in a cell for trying to kidnap his betrothed, which he knew about. He also knew she died on the journey back to King's Landing under suspicious circumstances, and likely knew it was from poisoning and that they were involved. Based on the show's lore, someone in his position would have had schooling about the world and its people from a maester and combat training from a master-at-arms. He knew full well not to trust these women.

Jill's Surprise Party - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode before Tim opens the front door for Julie Zwicky, you can see the actress' silhouette in the window pane for several moments before she rings the doorbell, showing her to be waiting for her cue.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Trivia: Aside from a handful of episodes from season 1, Rider Strong never watched this show until 2022, largely due to his own insecurities about watching his performances.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Trivia: Prior to being cast as Mr. Turner in season 2, Anthony Tyler Quinn was asked to read for the part of Alan when the cast of the show was first being filled out. Quinn previously worked with producer Michael Jacobs on a show called Black Sheep.

Home Improvement (1991)

Trivia: Waymond's line to Evelyn "Your clothes never wear as well the next day. Your hair never falls in quite the same way" are lyrics from the song "Absolutely (Story of a Girl) " by Nine Days. A cover version of the song can faintly be heard on the radio around 42 minutes into the film.

Black Adam (2022)

Trivia: The much anticipated return of Henry Cavill as Superman ended up being all for naught, as Cavill was dropped from the role several weeks later as part of Warner Bros.' plan to scrap the DCEU in its current form and start over.

Trivia: Of the 15 characters adapted from the game, only 5 are portrayed by actors of the same ethnicity or nationality: Chun Li, Ken, Balrog, Dhalsim, and T. Hawk.

Phaneron

Trivia: This film inspired former child actor Ke Huy Quan to return to acting, citing "fear of missing out."
