Long-time fans of “Game of Thrones” will recall that in Season 8, Episode 4 (“The Last of the Starks”), a modern coffee cup was accidentally left in for a scene that takes place at the Stark home of Winterfell (via The Verge). Though this is far from the only mistake that fans have noticed in the series, it looks like “House of the Dragon” is already adding to the list.
In Season 1, Episode 3: (“Second of His Name”), several fans caught a gaffe that saw a green screen glove visible on Viserys’ (Paddy Considine) hand (via Twitter). King Viserys seems to have been carrying a hidden affliction for the entirety of “House of the Dragon” thus far, and while it’s still not entirely clear what is making him ill, the glove was obviously meant to use CG to show that the ruler is missing two fingers.
Alas, though, someone (or several someones) apparently missed the memo on that, and, as such, the green screen glove is clearly visible in the scene from “House of the Dragon.” On the plus side, we live in a time where this mistake doesn’t need to be permanent, as streaming services have been known to go back and correct errors in previous episodes for precisely this kind of issue (via CNET). Still, hopefully, we’ll be seeing less of this ignoble tradition as the series goes on from this point.
