Warning: spoilers ahead for The Last of Us episode 6.
The latest episode of The Last of Us proved a powerful watch for viewers across the globe, with many being moved to tears by the performances from Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey when Joel and Ellie almost went their separate ways.
However, a ‘major blunder’ was spotted, when members of the film crew could apparently be seen in a scene when the two protagonists are supposed to be on their own.
Eagle-eyed fans have since pointed out another mistake in episode 6 that previously went unnoticed, when Ellie meets a horse called Shimmer for the first time.
Shimmer isn’t just any horse, but a character who comes straight from the video game.
In the TV show, Ellie is introduced to the horse when she and Joel arrive at the settlement in Jackson, Wyoming, where Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and his wife Maria (Rutina Wesley) live.
A Reddit user who goes by the handle Astronomy_Star shared two screengrabs of the moment Ellie meets Shimmer, caressing the horse’s face.
In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, they explained that a person’s hand could be seen underneath the horse’s chin, presumably ensuring that the animal kept its head raised for Bella to act opposite.
‘A hidden hand can be seen in the Shimmer scene. Maybe they forgot to edit it out..’ they remarked.
Another Reddit user expressed how impressed they were with the spot, commenting: ‘I have never catched anything like this while watching. Like, how do you guys always find this stuff ? Are you watching frame by frame?’
Meanwhile, another joked that perhaps it was a ‘Wednesday crossover’, with Thing – a dismembered human hand – making a special appearance.
Another viewer speculated that the hand could disappear soon, writing: ‘Good catch. I’m sure they’ll be fixed quickly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have someone watching this subreddit…’
Someone else couldn’t help but find the mishap highly entertaining, quipping: ‘I can’t stop laughing at this. I’m honestly not sure why is so funny.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted HBO for comment.
