I don't mind seeing SLJ in the PT anymore than I mind seeing any other 'name' actor (Liam, Ewan, Natalie, etc). One of the things that let one latch onto the OT was the relatively unknown nature of the major players with a few 'genre' actors scattered about. That let you focus on the *story* more than the actors. That said, SLJ is a fine actor and I do feel he has too little to do in the PT. His 'party over' line was atrocious and out of place, but other than that I at least feel he takes the role very seriously and handles it respectfully. I also don't think the quality of a role should be determined by the amount of profanity a character uses- and trust me, I curse like a sailor...
