A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
La adaptación de HBO hizo algo increíble con Jorah Mormont.
Consiguió que millones de espectadores vieran como una historia romántica algo que George R. R. Martin escribió para resultar incómodo.
En la serie vemos a un hombre honorable, leal y trágico.
En los libros, Jorah es mucho más oscuro.
Espía a Daenerys, se obsesiona con ella y siente celos de cualquier hombre que se le acerca. Y es difícil ver la relación igual cuando recuerdas la enorme diferencia de edad que existe entre ambos en los libros.
La interpretación de Iain Glen fue tan buena que cambió por completo la percepción del personaje.
El carisma del actor convirtió a Jorah en uno de los personajes más queridos de la serie, cuando creo que Martin pretendía que sintiéramos algo mucho más cercano a la incomodidad que a la admiración.
¿Creéis que Game of Thrones mejoró a Jorah o lo convirtió en un personaje demasiado diferente al de los libros?
The oldest dragon rider was a woman. The person who started the cradle egg tradition was a woman. The youngest dragon rider was a woman. The first and only person to tame a fully wild dragon was a woman. The last dragon rider was a woman. The one who brought them back was a woman
Here's my conversation with Don Lincoln about some of the biggest open questions in physics, including dark energy, dark matter, the matter-antimatter imbalance, quantum vacuum, quantum foam, and the quest to unify the laws of physics.
Don is a particle physicist at Fermilab who has spent decades working at the frontiers of high energy physics. He is also a great teacher & writer. I highly recommend his courses & books. One of my favorite lecture series he has given is The Evidence for Modern Physics where he breaks down the experiments that validate some of the weird laws of physics we have, and what it would take to validate even the weirder ones.
It's not enough to come up with a beautiful theory. You also have to show through experiment that the theory is likely to be correct. This process often doesn't get the love it deserves, even though it's often the most important and difficult part of the scientific process.
I ❤️ physics.
The conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

The Breakfast Club (1985) ending with Don’t You (Forget About Me) blasting while Bender throws his fist in the air is one of the most iconic final shots of the entire ‘80s.
i genuinely don’t understand how anyone can dislike the alayne chapters. you’ve got secret identity, questionable guardianship, and all this quiet backroom scheming... what’s not to love?
