I highly recommend getting a bodyfat monitor scale and doing long-term body composition trending — I take photos of mine every night before bed, placed on the same bathroom tile for consistency. These scales aren’t very accurate, but they tend to be precise (ie, repeatable and consistent for trending purposes).

A White Flyer?
I think you are wrong. Ceresi didnt want him in her bed. She is using him as a cover for her pregnancy. It serves a dual purpose. It gives the kid legitimacy, and adds some control of Euron. Her smirk when he said “Im going to put a prince in your belly” told me that I was right.
I love this show but I fucking hate zombies and zombie-adjacent stuff. Hardhome had me screaming at the TV and at the end my heart was pounding out of my chest. I hadn’t given much thought about this season but fuck me, it’s gonna be a little bit of Hardhome every episode. When the Umber kid opened his eyes I started…
Hell, I was surprised Sam cared so much about his shit family getting charred.
Jon’s a bit dim. Next episode will be 5 minutes of just Sam clearly spelling it out that he’s related to Dany, that he’s been fucking his Aunt, and that it’s wrong.
Auntfucking? That’s like, first base in the Seven Kingdoms.
He’s getting there. Gotta start with Sam’s dead family, onto Ned and having to run through LITERALLY everything he’s ever been told about Lyanna by him and stories of Rhaegar.
He has to re-contextualize his whole life.
“You left a king and came back a bitch.”
Man, and I think it’s awkward when my dog watches me have sex.
Wow, it’s amazing how symptomatic these are.
I used to believe that they’re setting her up to go nuts like her father. He wasn’t always a burner-of-people-alive - he lost his sanity over time. She’s had a couple of instances where she was needlessly cruel (although it’s quite likely I’m thinking of things that happened in the books, not the show.)
There was a deleted scene in which Bran basically told them Littlefinger was setting them up. It was all real.
His character changed drastically after Season 4's Joffrey murder party, mainly because once they surpassed the book, the show couldn’t figure out how to make Littlefinger’s machinations make sense in the context of all the other stories they were making up. I wouldn’t be surprised if Littlefinger makes it to the end…
I think it’s unsatisfying because he plays chess, and it was like he got beat playing checkers. It was unbefitting of his character to be so epically fooled by amatures. Sharper gameplay from all players- preferebly wicked sharp intellects like Varys or Olenna out-maneuvering Littlefinger would have felt so much more…
It frustrated me so much that we didn’t get an actual plot of Sansa and Arya working to outwit LF. Instead, they fell for his plotting and needed literal magical intervention at the last minute to figure out the ridiculously obvious point that he wasn’t trustworthy.
Both the actresses and the script make it very clear that all the conflict was real. That people kept debating otherwise just shows how shoddy the execution was, but there really isn’t anything onscreen whereby you could conclude it was all an act.
Wow, what a really great and eloquent description. Fantastic writing.
I worked in a facility for individuals with traumatic brain injury for a number of years, with probably hundreds of people in various states of disorders of consciousness. I had someone in a vegetative coma state come out of the coma over a period…
Excellent piece Mike. I’ve really never read anything quite like it. I feel like most writing about NDEs and dreams is always bogged down in pseudoscience and/or religious interpretations, it’s fascinating to see it presented so straightforwardly and earnestly. Thank you for sharing this and best wishes on your…
I expected the stories about Paris, in my own experience Parisians were not difficult and were kind to our lack of French (and our shitty pronunciation of whatever French we did know). The easiest way to get kindness from strangers is to be kind to them first.
