Yes. I've even posted a few stories about it, long ago in The Great Write Way.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Wheel of Time 3x7:
Took me a bit to unpack this episode because it was a lot and I needed to separate my reader brain from my watcher brain.
I absolutely love what the show is doing with Perrin and Faile. Their relationship is mostly frustrating in the books, but the show manages to keep the "feisty" aspect without it being toxic. Perrin telling her to "keep behind me" and when she immediately objects he finishes with "to kill the ones I miss" and the way her face lights up is just perfect.
Also, so many call backs in this episode to prior seasons, it feels like the true conclusion to this part of Perrin's character arc where he pulls together all the lessons he's learned so far. Just fantastic storytelling.
The show still suffers from having to speed through certain things at the risk of losing the proper weight but that feels like it's the nature of the beast with Amazon only giving them 8 episodes a season instead of the 10 they probably need to give everything room to breathe.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It does not get *less* intense. Good job looking out for your own well-being.
Agreed. My anxiety responds to watching high-anxiety things sometimes.
Okay, I'm giving episode 2 a shot, because I really like the characters (damn Noah Wyle's charisma, and that one really pretty [guy] doctor [look, I don't know the names yet]) and people keep posting gifs of The Pitt on Tumblr.
Where medical dramas trip my anxiety is that they showcase how many truly horrific things can happen to the human body, holy shit. (And you may be thinking, Teppy, you have been a medical editor for basically your entire career, aren't you used to horrific medical shit? And that is correct! But reading about fucked-up medical shit is different than seeing it reenacted in technicolor on my TV screen.) And then I get panicky because holy shit, that's a thing that could feasibly happen to me or someone I love! And that is technically correct—anything could happen. I just sure the hell hope it doesn't.
Anyway, I'm going to watch episode 2, either after Daredevil tonight, or tomorrow.

Okay, I've watched episodes 2 AND 3 of The Pitt, and I may be in a groove where I can handle it.
I would kill or die for Mel. That is all.

You've got the core of it, then.
Yeah, I started watching with some trepidation figuring I wouldn't be able handle an actual binge but ended up devouring it once I got going

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would kill or die for Mel. That is all.You got it! Mel is a joy all the way through and I love her. I have seen thoughts that it is better watching it weekly rather than binging.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Andor: Dedra/Syril is emphatically the most WRONG thing ever, and I am HERE FOR IT.

Three episodes a week is too much
