Analysis of Game of Thrones Season 8 Blu-ray commentary between showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), and other podcast interviews she made around the same time, cross-referenced with prior interviews Benioff gave about himself. During the Season 8 Blu-ray commentary Benioff kept insisting that Emilia Clarke left the infamous coffee cup on the feast table, long after it stopped being funny, to the point of gaslighting.
...and in separate interview clips from a Hollywood Reporter podcast interview, Emilia Clarke confirms that...yeah, that's what it's actually like being around and working for showrunner David Benioff. All the time. He has a warped sense of humor, pervasively pranking and lying to the cast purely for his own amusement, to the point of genuine abuse. Benioff is the very definition of a "toxic work environment" and psychological abuse by a showrunner - sort of comparable to the numerous complaints about how Joss Whedon had a toxic work environment on his projects.
This gives us a window into the surreal, bizarro-world that existed on the Game of Thrones set, where Benioff was under zero supervision whatsoever from the network, was free to dictate reality as he saw fit, and was constantly lying to the cast for his own...childish amusement, to the point it was wasting time and money, and the cast members genuinely reached a point where they didn't know what to believe anymore. The "prank scripts", which they played off as a fun joke in HBO's public relations campaign, where really a giant red flag of just how unhinged David Benioff actually was.
And in this context....where actors don't know what's a real but bizarre request and what's a prank...you can see why so many actors said of Season 8 that "when they first told me this was my storyline, I thought Benioff was playing a prank on me".
