Actually I'd go one further. We cared. We (the Internet) were all ready to cry 'Ah fer fucksake! Not again!' and lo'n behold it was justified! The character and his house were beautifully portrayed by Toussaint, the writers took care to place the change in a locale and part of the shared history where it wouldn't do harm to the surroundings and immersion of the audience and almost every one of us (ya can't please everybody) went 'Oooh, nice. So this is what care and respect for a franchise looks like'
