I got the feeling that any scene with Ed Sheeran in it was going to be tame, so that sort of gave it away. It was a nice change of pace to have a group of soldiers that weren't bent on making everyone's life as miserable as possible.

I blinked, missed the banner, asked "hey was that a stannis banner" and was directly told "no it was a dragon banner" so I spent all night getting mad over what a LIAR told me.

esperterra posted:He's got two Grammys and toured with Taylor Swift, he's pretty huge these days. If you listen to top 40 or know any people in their teens or twenties he's hard to avoid. I have friends who listen to his crap all the time. The cameo itself didn't bother me at all, he actually has quite a lovely voice, but the goons coming in here and going "lol just lol if you don't know who this pop singer is" was pretty loving embarrassing.

A brief moment of normalcy for Arya while reminding us even Lannister soldiers can be good people.

More embarrassing to me are the goons acting high and mighty about not knowing who 'some tween singer' is, because living under a rock is something to brag about. Like I don't even listen to his music, but it's been hard to avoid not knowing who he is just going through daily life talking to people the past few years, or having to listen to the radio at work or w/e. It's both sides of a cringe coin.

This is also not Ed Sheeran's first rodeo when it comes to his involvement in what you could consider nerd culture (granted, it was one of the Hobbit films) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mllXxyHTzfg

tbh it's very possible he's just more popular in Canada than the States, so I have more exposure to him. Anything British we basically mainline into our veins.

Ed Sheeran is pretty popular in the States too, this is just the standard "Goons climbing over each other to loudly announce that they don't recognize that popular thing at all and are better people because of it". Which is pretty loving ironic in a GoT thread.

Scene was definitely good, it was nice change of pace from all the rape and death. And lol at acting like touring with Taylor swift is supposed to make dude somehow "more" legitimate rather than less so. If living under a rock is all it takes to have never had to listen to a Taylor Swift song I'm happy to do it. Granted my wife also makes fun of me for this. I'd say I probably got another 5 years or so of bliss. My daughter is only 1 and I'm not gonna be able to avoid it forever. Edit: Not a better person, just better ears. I'm sure some of you donate to good causes and whatnot. Overall I'm probably a pretty poo poo person. Harton fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Jul 17, 2017 |

My point and other peoples' points were just that he's wildly famous and popular right now. Some pop stars are just names known even if you don't listen to them.

Hearing this Ed Sheenan guy is popular is like the same as when I hear some random person on Twitch has 100,000 subscribers. It's like who are these people? How do they all know about this person?

I don't know who that is either but he gave the most charismatic "gently caress off" speech since Alliser Thorne told Sam and Jon they'd die like flies back in season 1, so he's cool as hell in my book
