Other mistake: As the surviving characters discuss the fate of Westeros, 2 plastic water bottles can be seen tucked behind the chairs they're sitting on.

I watched this show on Amazon Prime.
Starting out, I wasn't sure I was ever going to actually watch this show. It seemed kinda interesting to me, but I had put it on my backlog with other things taking priority. However, my dad is writing his own books and series of space opera called Eden Galaxy Chronicles. People kept giving him feedback that the way he had different factions, governments and planets interacting with each other and his characters was a lot like Game of Thrones, but in space.
He heard that enough times he wanted to watch Game of Thrones, so I moved the show up on my list and we watched it together.
I'm very glad we did as I loved the first few seasons. Gripping, good writing, good acting, and a lot of authenticity to the medieval aesthetic. Lots of characters on their own paths with stories that branch out and wind together, intermingling and affecting each other while still having their own life to live.
Granted the last couple of seasons did decline. However I don't think they're as bad as people online make it out to be. The ending was a disappointment, sure, but it was still good enough.
Then again, if you go from amazing seasons to just OK or good for the ending, that can be a shocking change of direction and throw you for a loop. Whiplash I guess.
I'd rate the first 5 or 6 seasons 5 stars, with the last two seasons 4 or 3 stars. But nothing bad I'd say.
Mistake Status: I have no plans at all to do this series.

Question: Some of the Free Folk are reluctant to join Jon's fight against Boltons in Winterfell. Jon tries to convince them. And suddenly, Wun, the sole giant stands up and says "Snow." then leaves. What does he mean?
Chosen answer: The giants in general spoke little English and seem to generally speak very little at all and in a slow, lumbered manner, much the same as how they physically move. Wun Wun is acknowledging that he is supporting Jon's plan by simply stating his name of "Snow."
