David Benioff and D.B. Weiss discussed the coffee cup with Japanese outlet Star Channel, with Benioff jokingly comparing it to the flaws in Persian rugs. “It’s tradition that you make a little mistake when making the rug, because only God can do anything perfect," he said. Benioff added: “We were concentrating so much on Daenerys and Jon Snow that we just didn’t see this coffee cup right in the middle. So at first I couldn’t believe it, and then it was embarrassment; ‘how did we not see this coffee cup in the middle of the shot?’ And then, eventually, it was just funny. This one is just a mistake, and it’s kind of funny to us now.”
