Episode 415 Ragnarok S02E02 What Happened to the Nice, Old Lady?
Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Netflix series Ragnarok, and our listener feedback.
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we examine the reveal surrounding Laurits’ biological father and the implications that he may, in fact, be Loki. However, all is not going smoothly for Team Giant as the family fabric disintegrates as Saxa and Ran do their best to hold things together.
In our What We're Watching segment, we agree that talking about the Netflix Icelandic series Katla should be something we address sooner rather than later.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands questions whether Laurits is setting Vidar up for a fall and points out that no one at the retirement home appears to notices Wenche’s death and subsequent disintegration.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we return to Netflix and the Norwegian fantasy series Ragnarok.

Episode 413 The Nevers S01E06 True
Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the HBOMax series The Nevers, and our listener feedback.
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the four part episode “True” and its impact on the overall arc as the show heads into hiatus before concluding with six additional episodes. Now that Penance knows the truth about the event and Amalia’s true identity, the two must set out to prevent the eventual apocalyptic future that faces the Earth. Still, it’s Myrtle’s enigmatic presence that confounds us as we try to piece together the notion that Stripe did not come to 19th century London alone.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave reminds listeners that the third and final season of The Netflix Turkish drama The Gift drops on June 17th.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands checks in with his weekly audio feedback, and Maureen shares her ideas about the mid-season finale.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave has apparently abandoned Da Vinci’s Demons on Starz but watched the entire eight episode crime drama The Dublin Murders on the same network. Wayne is not happy that he got to see Britannia free on Amazon and then had to sign up for Epic to see subsequent seasons.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands checks in with his weekly audio feedback, and Maureen poses questions via email.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the latest reveal that Amalia may, in fact, be from another timeline, and the body she inhabits may not be her own. However, it’s Myrtle’s deciphering the message hidden in Mary’s son that has the most emotional impact as Amalia learns that she’s not as alone as she fears. Though all signs point to Lord Massen as the man behind Mary’s murder, it’s still not clear if someone’s influencing him.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave started watching Da Vinci’s Demons on Starz, and Wayne goes back even further in time with Sky Studio’s Britannia now streaming on Amazon.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the HBOMax series The Nevers, and our listener feedback.
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the pilot episode of Joss Whedon’s The Nevers and whether or not Amalia True attempts suicide at the moment of the supernatural event.

In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne continues with Shadow and Bone but also adds the animated Star Wars: The Bad Batch to his viewing schedule. Dave recommends the Danish supernatural thriller Equinox which currently streams on Netflix.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the HBOMax series Beforeigners, and our listener feedback.
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the revelation that time travel does indeed go both ways. However, it’s Tore Hund’s admission to Alfhildr that as a child she was fished from the sea and raised by his father. In the visual flashback we see her wearing a bright orange life preserver, clearly an item from the 21st century. Will the return of Olav the Stout mark the beginning of a religious culture war, and what role will Madeleine play in the future of Norway?
