Battle of the Bastards - S6-E9

Corrected entry: SPOILER: Rickon Stark gets set loose by Ramsay Bolton and told to run to his brother. He knows that arrows are being fired at him, but he still runs in a dead straight line, so of course he gets struck down. If he'd just zig-zagged a bit he'd have been near-impossible to hit.

Correction: Rickon is a young child and scared. It would be perfectly normal for him not to realise that zig-zagging would help him be more elusive. Also, zig-zagging is no guarantee that he still would not be hit by a random arrow.

Next to that it would slow him down and he might trip and fall.

Battle of the Bastards - S6-E9

Corrected entry: At the meeting before the Battle of the Bastards, Sansa rides away before Ramsey mentions he hasn't fed his dogs in 7 days. The next day when he's tied up in the kennel he said my dogs will never hurt me. Sansa says "you haven't fed them in a week". She wasn't there when he said it, no way she'd know that.

Correction: Jon, Davos, Tormund or anyone else that rode out with Jon to discuss terms with Ramsay could have told Sansa about it or mentioned it around camp which Sansa could have then heard. Ramsay was threatening to feed Jon's men to his dogs, something that would likely be discussed by the men in Jon's army, if for no other reason than it is something they would try to avoid experiencing.

Oathbreaker - S6-E3

Corrected entry: When the Young Stark and his friends arrive at the Tower of Joy, Arthur Dayne stabs the ground with his famous sword Dawn. A minute later, he draws the same sword from its sheath. (00:12:50 - 00:13:45)

Hakan Yesugey

Correction: Dayne has Two Swords. Sword of the Morning is in his scabbard. Another sword is the one he plants in the ground. When the battle starts, he pulls Sword of the Morning from his scabbard, and pulls the standard sword from the ground and dual wields them with both hands.

The Red Woman - S6-E1

Corrected entry: In season 4 Melisandre appears without her necklace, naked in the bath, and looks young. In this episode it's shown that removing her necklace reveals her true age/looks.

Correction: She takes her true form after the necklace is removed. It is never mentioned that the necklace is what held the illusion in place. She may have been holding the illusion using her magic, and chose that moment for it to end.

Correction: Enough time has passed between scenes for Varys to return to Essos. We just don't see his return journey because it would waste screen time.

Game of Thrones mistake picture Video

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.

A Golden Crown - S1-E6

Trivia: The horse heart that Daenerys eats was actually made of gelatin, and genuinely tasted dreadful - her physical revulsion at eating it is real. It had dyed pasta to simulate veins, and was injected with fake sugary blood, which attracted flies. The blood was so sticky and ended up covering Emilia Clarke to such an extent that after filming it glued her to the toilet seat.

Show generally

Question: Why were so many actors in this show recast? If the showrunners knew they would be using certain characters for multiple seasons, then why not lock them in long term?

Phaneron

Chosen answer: Considering the show was in production for nearly a decade, it is hardly surprising that many characters were recast. Actors constantly move on to other jobs, creating scheduling conflicts. Some may not want to be tied to one project for so long a period, particularly for relatively minor roles that paid little money. As some characters became more prominent, the producers did recast a few roles with better-known actors. For example, Max Von Sydow replaced the actor who originally played the Three-eyed Raven. Some actors voluntarily left for personal reasons. Jennifer Ehle was originally cast to play Catelyn Stark but dropped out because she'd recently given birth. Other actors claimed they were replaced for "political" reasons.
