— particularly about how covering this show on such a granular level was utterly joyful and utterly painful all at once. Break out the world's tiniest violin and play the Rains of Castamere on it; I know, it's uncool to complain about covering television for a living, and I get it, but that doesn't mean there aren't significant emotional and mental health stressors that come with the job.

Now it's not. It's somewhere back there, in the rearview, accessible if you wish to access it.
