Warning: The post is dark and full of spoilers.
After the Game of Thrones finale aired yesterday, eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out a partially hidden water bottle in the scene where Bran is named king of Westeros.
But I want you to forget about the water bottle because something even weirder stood out to me. That moment was when Daenerys touched the Iron Throne for the first time and her nails looked like they were fresh from the salon.
The scene mirrors a vision Dany had in the House of the Undying in season two. She walks through the ashes of the Red Keep towards the Iron Throne, she reaches for the throne, but at the last moment pulls away. In the finale, however, she finally touches it.
It’s a pretty big achievement for her considering how long she worked to get to that very moment, but all I saw was a perfect manicure on someone who just destroyed an entire city on the back of a dragon. You’d at least expect there to be some sort of chip, right?
Not only did her nails look perfect, the rest of her also looked impeccably groomed. Who is there to do all of that for her with Missandei gone? Maybe there’s a very talented member of the Unsullied finally showing off their skills?
Turns out a lot of Twitter users were also very confused by the whole thing…

That closeup of Daenerys’ immaculate French tip manicure! Is that what her nails look like after burning down a whole city? #GameofThrones

The fact that Daenerys’ hair actually looked good in this last night’s episode is straight up absurd. Who is doing those elaborate braids? Greyworm??#gameofthrones

People are pissed about the coffee cup but not about the fact that Daenerys Targaryen can destroy an entire city while still maintaining a perfect manicure and not a single hair out of place? Also, where is that damn salon and how did it survive? #gameofthrones

So the one building Dany didn’t destroy was the nail salon I guess. Look at that perfect manicure

Who braided Daenerys’ hair and did her nails after Missandei died? #GameOfThrones

If Missandei dead, then who does Daenerys' hair? Does Tyrion or Grayworm have a secret talent? #itstooperfect maybe Missandei is alive! #GameOfThronesFinale spoilers pic.twitter.com/vlS8dFIoyJ

So, yeah that’s a plot hole if ever I saw one! But she looked great, so aside from the whole dying thing, good for her we guess?
