Viewers of the popular HBO series
The Last of Us are saying the same thing about a clear editing error that occurred in the sixth episode, which aired on Sunday night. Additionally, it has already been compared to the funny Starbucks mishap from
Game of Thrones, where Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen was seen with a coffee cup close by.
Furthermore, in this week's offering, titled Kin, Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie were seen traveling further west in search of Joel's brother Tommy.
Spoiler alert: Gabriel Luna plays the role of the brother who brings the siblings back together in the commune which was the exact site of the episode's mishap. Members of the show's team were observed in the corner of the picture carrying cameras and lights as Joel and Ellie crossed a bridge blanketed in snow.

Subsequently, @domineo32, a TikTok user, was one of the first to catch the mistake on camera before focusing on the overhead shot of the cast and crew. At the end of the snowy road, before the bridge, more crew members were once more seen.

"Brilliant episode. Something you might want to fix and reupload though. You can see the film crew in this shot," claimed a fan who shared the photos to the show on Twitter. He tweeted the images again, this time inserting cups into the
Last of Us scene in an apparent attempt to parody the widely reported Starbucks
Game of Thrones mishap.
"HBOs having another Starbucks cup incident A camera crew in episode 6 of The Last of Us," another viewer wrote. "Ok.. who edited this scene of The Last of Us?" one person asked.

Moreover, another person clarified: "They forgot to edit out the 4 camera crew in this scene from The Last of Us episode 6. If you zoom in, one guy’s even holding a Starbucks cup." And someone else added, "LOL The Last of Us Ep 6 as they're crossing the bridge closet look all the way to your left you'll see crew members with shelter or tents LOL."
"Love when I catch s**t like this in movies and shows," was another comment.
On the other hand, it is unknown at this time whether HBO has acknowledged the error. They did, however, issue a brief comment following their Starbucks mishap and removed the scene from HBO Max. The show's producers said at the time: "The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea."
