Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Head-Scratching Plot Holes

8. Shireen Is Blonde

Is it a plot hole? Is it just thoughtlessness? Or is it both? Shireen Baratheon is blonde. Now there's a great furore kicked up over hair colour in the first season of the show. Ultimately, Ned Stark flicking through a book of royal hair colours resulted in the Lord of Winterfell's own execution. With such a fuss over dominant brunette Baratheon gene, and Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen's 'golden' heads, it wouldn't have been too much trouble to ensure Shireen Baratheon maintained the family's hair colour. It may seem like a trivial issue, but it goes against everything we've heard about the Baratheon children's jet dark hair.
