The Hound was the only good thing about it. Thank you, The Hound.

What was sickening about it? Seriously? I mean, some people are so pissed about him being in the episode. I can't say I am a die hard Ed Sheeran fan but I think the guy is talented and I enjoy some of his songs. Him being in the show is no big deal. I really don't understand why people get so angry at such things. A singer appeared in a TV show. So what?

I'm a fan of Ed Sheeran's, I saw him at Glastonbury last month and enjoyed myself...but seeing him in the episode took me right out of it and I didn't like it at all. That a good enough reason for you or shall I try delve deeper into why it threw me off so much?

Delve deeper if you don't mind. What do you mean took you out of it? There must be something else going on here if a singer who you admitted to liking ruins a whole episode for you just by merely making an appearance. If I am being honest here, and this is just my opinion, the type of people who get irrationally angry at little things like celebrities making little cameos in TV shows are the type of people who just like to get angry and complain about everything. Perhaps that's not the case but I only say that because it really isn't a big deal. I mean, sickening? Really? Pedophilia is sickening. Human trafficking is sickening. What happened to Baby P was sickening. Any irritants shown towards Ed Sheeran appearing on Game of Thrones should be very mild at worst. Him being driven off Twitter by trolls is overkill.

Yes it is. "We knew that Maisie [Williams] was a big fan of Ed Sheeran, and for years we've been trying to get him on the show so we can surprise Maisie. This year we finally did it."

I think the "it took me out of the story" thought is kind of ridiculous. Famous non-actors make cameos in TV shows and movies all the time. It has never taken me out of the story. It seems kind of odd that people are bitching about Sheeran and not any of the other countless instances. Sheeran appearance included barely any singing and one line. He was almost a glorified extra. It isn't like he was Lady Gaga in American Horror Story, where the bad acting ruined many parts of the show.Hanley! wrote:Viazon wrote:I don't buy that.

I think you're changing the subject by focusing on the scene itself rather than Sheeran's role in it. And James already told you why that made the episode worse: it broke his immersion, as it did for many fans. It took him out of the story. That's important.
His cameo hardly ruined the episode, but it detracted more than it added.
