Sheeran was problematic but there have been a number of problematic scenes and moments all the way through (likewise in the book) so it really never bothered me that much. The actual scene was great and purposeful. I can understand why people were particularly bothered by Sheeran but that's why I wasn't arsed anyway.
GOT is what it is, it's no Wire. You'd think it had been aspiring to that the way some people treat it. It's just great fun. Explicit, fantastic, bloody, dragon fun. I mean I don't wish to take the dramatic excellence away from it but even those are sort of meant to be fun in an over the top way that other dramas aren't. It's fantasy.
