Aside from the Ed Sheeran cameo, that was a fantastic scene. You could see her deciding whether or not to kill them all and the line of questioning was great. It shows that she isn't this ruthless killer and does have compassion, while she also will take out anyone who has wronged her or innocents. Was kinda hoping they gave one wrong answer and she just massacred them.

I don't think people necessarily hate him or even his music (I don't even know any of his songs though so I could be mistaken there), but people hated the cameo because it was a completely unnecessary ploy for celebrity airtime that provided zero content to the episode whatsoever.

I just didn't like that they put him in because it felt forced. They've had cameos before (mastodon as risen dead at hardhome) but I can't recall a speaking roll like this. Just seemed to pander imo.

I mean you could say that about anyone really. If you didn't know who Obama or Trump were and they showed up in GoT, then of course you wouldn't be put off by it.

No if Trump or Obama were in GoT I would notice. Most people didn't notice some obscure singer.

Ed Sheeran is a very famous and very recognizable singer, so when you see him he definitely stands out. I think it would have been ok if he was just sitting in the back not talking, and you'd go "hey, was that just Ed Sheeran?" but when they made him start singing, they were basically beating the viewer over the head with the fact that Sheeran was in the scene

you'd think someone with half a brain would go "don't care who your friend is it's a weird idea for a cameo"

on top of that it's not like Game of Thrones needs celebrity appearances

I would guess because the other ones weren't as in-your-face immersion breaking? Look, I don't think it was a big deal. I still didn't think it was good.
