Ed Sheeran's GameOfThrones cameo showed a lack of respect and understanding for the careful world-building that needs to be maintained when you create a universe from scratch. sangeetaskurtz writes

Photo: HBO I Think About This a Lot is a series dedicated to private memes: images, videos, and other random trivia we are doomed to play forever on loop in our minds.

I remember it well. It was 2017: I was watching the season-seven premiere with a group of friends when Arya stumbles across a group of enemy soldiers. One of them is singing. I recognize that voice, I thought. No, they wouldn’t have. And there appeared Sheeran, sitting around a campfire with other soldiers and singing in a strangely self-conscious voice: “For she was his secret treasure / She was his shame and his bliss / And a chain and a keep are nothing / Compared to a woman’s kiss.

I went fishing once. Bored out of my mind, I began to think of the little fish swimming along pleasantly in their watery world when, all of a sudden, they get yanked out of it and thrown into another, this one a harsh and uncompromising wasteland. I can imagine it’s a dreadful feeling, and that is how I felt seeing Sheeran in this episode of Game of Thrones: like I had been swimming along in my sublime fictional universe before being plopped into a different, much less magical one.

sangeetaskurtz exactly the story we need.

sangeetaskurtz The worlds on fire, who gives a flying fuck?

sangeetaskurtz Sorry but it is your problem. ..Do not try to turns that a 'pandemic'...Coz ... Well... we already got one...and because 2020 is a bitch.

sangeetaskurtz I didn’t watch the show past the first episode but that sounds terrible.

sangeetaskurtz It was total disrespect

sangeetaskurtz Let it go ...

sangeetaskurtz The ginger fury?

sangeetaskurtz Ed Sheeran sung 'Hands Of Gold' which is a song from a Game Of Thrones book, and is also about characters in the tv series. There had been other musicians who had cameos as well. Ed filmed his cameo in 2016, and I bet most ppl complaining didn't know what he looked like in 2017.

sangeetaskurtz the Benioff/Weiss cameos in Westworld were also tacky as hell

sangeetaskurtz I recall a Paul Simon quote when some wag said his lyric didn't makes sense. 'Look man, I just wanted it to rhyme'

sangeetaskurtz Should have seen this as harbinger for things tocome

sangeetaskurtz Zzzz

sangeetaskurtz Grow up

sangeetaskurtz Who the fuck is Ed Sheeran?

sangeetaskurtz No one cares about this. No one.

sangeetaskurtz Kim, people are dying

sangeetaskurtz Jesus it was THREE YEARS AGO and you are STILL going on about it

sangeetaskurtz Shark jump

sangeetaskurtz At that point GOT had already given up respect for its viewers

sangeetaskurtz This is the nerdiest shit ever.

sangeetaskurtz Oh STFU. There were many problems with the end of GOT but a one minute cameo was not one of them

Ed Sheeran sung 'Hands of Gold' a song from a Game Of Thrones book, he never released the song, or made it available on Spotify.

Counterpoint: Ed Sheeran's cameo was actually really good and fit into the story well.

It's been 15 years let it go

If u wanna be mad at anyone, be mad at the writers/directors/casting. U should be more mad at the shit ending. He was a minor character and blended in well enough so shut it

Oh get over it

Ed Sheeran did just fine in GOT. His voice a welcome reprieve in a dark, violent story. Not quite sure what the critique is for. Perhaps some over-thinking during quarantine?

Good on Ed.... I am sick of the Woke wankers!

sangeetaskurtz same with the Prince William & Prince Harry cameos as stormtroopers in Star Wars

sangeetaskurtz

sangeetaskurtz Wasn't that like two years ago

sangeetaskurtz So GoT fans are carrying going on about this 3 years later? Ed sung part of the song 'Hands Of Gold' which is song from a GoT book, and he never released it. Danish National Symphony Orchestra recorded it for Spotify

sangeetaskurtz It’s not that serious!!
