Last night's finale was surprising in a lot of ways, but one thing that wasn't at all shocking was just out divisive it ended up being.

As one series ends, another one is set to begin. Just before HBO aired the finale of Game of Thrones, it showed a glimpse of what's coming for its other popular TV series.

Being perhaps the biggest show around and in the midst of its final season, there's obviously going to be a lot of chatter about each new Game of Thrones episode. The discussion surrounding the show's most recent episode, however, wasn't all about the show's dramatic moments or epic battles, but rather about a modern day luxury that appeared in one scene: A paper coffee cup.
