I know, I've no idea why people feel the need to give him grief about it. Its not as if he can just turn up on set and tell them he's in the show. Someone has asked him or approved it.

Ponky Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If someone offered me a cameo on GoT I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2017 I enjoyed it, especially as a guy who works for me said it was shit (he's in America so saw it early). Arya is a badass, she was the most exciting bit for me. She may steal the show in the end. I really don't see the big deal with Sheeran. There was a massive, more obvious cameo for Thomas Turgoose as well but nobody has even mentioned him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the bloke but as someone who doesn't have social media (except for here) I really don't like the idea of the poor fella being so bombarded with negativity he has to take his account off. People should be more like me and bitch about him behind his back so he doesn't know. Nb just found out from the missus that he turned his twitter off 3 weeks ago, nothing to do with GoT. She'd know!

I expect a lot of GoT viewers wouldn't. Sheeran's appearance didn't ruin the episode for me, but it's a bit jarring seeing one of the most recognisable celebrities that's bloody everywhere pop up in the middle of an episode. I can see why it'd annoy people, it breaks the immersion a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sheeran, straight to camera, with a nod wink and sly smile 'It's a new one' **** off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"ive never heard that song before" "its a new one" **** off! wouldnt mind if turgoose did a couple of episodes, with him there as well i did sit there trying to work out if the others were all in some sort of directors mates super cameo scene, didnt know who the 3rd bloke was though (darker longer hair) Edit: @Chindie yep pretty much Edited July 18, 2017 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2017 Apparently his cameo was due to Maisie Williams being a fan. Good actress. Tin ear for music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one of them is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and the other is somebody only a Shane Meadows aficionado would even recognize. That's probably the reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I guess I fall in to the latter as Turgoose tempered the Sheeran being on my screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I had no idea who Turgoose was til I wiki'd him. Not sure how having an actor getting a cameo role in a series where he is required to, well, act, is comparable to a singer whose only acting pedigree is looking like the ginger bloke from Harry Potter.

When the song started up, I thought "What a crap tune", then the camera pointed out the culprit. It's a song from the books. A singer writes it to blackmail Tyrion about his and Shae's relationship when he is Hand, ("hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm") and says he'll sing it to Cersei unless he can sing at Joffrey's wedding. So Tyrion has Bronn kill him and he ends up in a stew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I thought Turgoose was more famous than he is. It still seems like people are annoyed because they recognised someone. They've had plenty of musical cameos before. Sigur Ros, Snow Patrol, (a member of) Coldplay to name a few. They were singing too. Outrageous! This basically boils down to "I recognise that guy and I don't like him" Edited July 18, 2017 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit cheesey. But you only have to read this thread to see that that's not why a lot of people are angry. They're angry because of the first part of your sentence. They recognised somebody they hate. Which is mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is mental. I disagree, Imagine the scene exactly the same but finishes with Arya lopping off the ginger pricks head. Praise from all quarters. It's largely about the way it was filmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
