Yes, we're a little behind schedule; the second episode of "The Orbiting Human Circus (Of the Air) has already dropped, and we've only just now gotten around to watching the first one.

So how was it? It's...interesting. There are things we liked about it, and things we definitely didn't. After a quick recap, we talked a little bit about the current Transformers: Revolution storyline (which we did not like, and we're definitely not happy about it.)

To round it out we talked about Sense8, Hannibal, The Descent, and Skottie Young's delightfully disturbing I Hate Fairyland.

So, The Walking Dead, huh? How about that episode? Lots of important character development there. The cinematography was pretty good, and the lighting director really had to...oh who am I kidding? That episode was brutal and we're still mad!

Sit back for a half hour of the twins going AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

We've also got a look at the brand new book Feeding Hannibal, because it wouldn't be a Halloween episode if we didn't talk Walkers AND cannibals.

Things are a little tense in Night Vale right now. Mayor Cardinal has opened negotiations with Hiram McDaniel's sister Hadassah, who's acting as representative of The Five-Headed Dragon world. The Mayor wants Hiram to face the consequences of attempted assassination of a head of state; Hadassah wants Hiram extradited back to their own world for punishment (said punishment consists of getting a sticker that says "I Overthrew!", since that's how government works dontcha know).

So after we discussed dragons and destruction and strange spaceships that don't seem to have a point, we also talked about Looper, Penny Dreadful, and Luke Cage. Ah, Luke Cage. We're a little worried we might catch some flak for this one. Listen in to find out why.

This week's podcast was recorded in New York City! Manhattan to be exact, just days after Binary System (and official Pixelated Geek photographer Captain Slack) (also known as Kathryn's husband Nathan) attended New York Comic Con 2016! We geek out over the artists we got to meet, give a breakdown on our first attempts at Doctor Who cosplay, and talk about the awesomeness that is the Big Apple.

Oh hey, you know how we keep saying "New York Comic Con is almost as big as San Diego Comic-Con?" Turns out, it's bigger. WAY bigger. San Diego Comic-Con clocks in at 130,000+, but bleedingcool reports NYCC set a record with over 180,000. No WONDER Saturday was so crazy!

That's right, this week we recap TWO episodes of Welcome To Night Vale, episodes 94 and 95,  just because we want to give YOU all the content. It has nothing to do with the fact that we're running a month behind. Nope. Anyway. Moving right along...

After we discussed Felicia Day's guest appearance and how she was apparently dating a dragon, we went on to the final issue of More Than Meets the Eye, the last episode of The Night Manager (and how it's true that Tom Hiddleston really is more of a lover than a fighter,) the last episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, and (finally) our Doctor Who cosplays are ready for New York Comic Con! Keep an eye out for a gallery of NYCC pics, we're going to get as many cosplay photos of everybody else that we can possibly get.

No Welcome To Night Vale recap this week, since the Binary System Podcast duo has been traveling all over time and space this month. Well, all over space anyway. Okay, we each spent a week in Florida visiting the 'rents. The point is, we're tired.

Not too tired, since we were able to read the latest issues of Tranformers MTMTE and Marvel's Civil War II (warning: massive spoilers and speculations on our part to follow), and then watch The Night Manager series, the last season of Hannibal, a tiny bit of X-Men: Apocalypse, and the first two episodes of season two of Broadchurch (ouch, not sure how much more of that we can watch.)

And then Netflix had to go release the next seasons of Luther and Penny Dreadful, so now we've got even more to catch up on so we can talk about it on this podcast. It's a tough job blah blah somebody's got to blah blah so on and so forth.

(Sorry for some audio weirdness, Elizabeth was trying a new thing with the editing software. Totally didn't work! Won't be doing again! Moving right along!)

It's an "On The Road" edition of BSP as Kathryn's recording from the wilds of Florida, land of...heat and...rain and...alligators? Yes okay she's sipping a glass of red wine from our parents' place, but still. We go through hardships for you.

Anyway, we recap a Welcome to Night Vale episode full of dragons and stolen cars, and then talk about the Serial podcast, Wooden Overcoats, the final episode of Torchwood, and the latest update on our Doctor Who cosplay for New York Comic Con!

The closing song was "Mary On a Wave" by Okkervil River.

Original broadcast date September 1, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/09/binary-system-podcast-50-fifty-episodes-still-no-plan/

It's the 50th episode of Binary System Podcast! What do we have planned? Absolutely nothing! Seriously, are you surprised? After 50 episodes if you think we've got a game plan we'd like to talk to you about this section of prime real estate in the Everglades, lovely spot, we'll just need your credit card number...

Seriously though, we tackled this episode with all the randomness we could put behind it, and jumped from Penny Dreadful to Stranger Things, Mr. Robot, the Foreigner Series, Game of Thrones, the Craft Sequence, Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk, prom night, Civil War 2, time travel, the Thessaliad, Sins of the Wreckers, Transformers that break, and being surprisingly girly about it. Don't judge.

Kathryn's review of Neil Gaiman's How to Talk to Girls at Parties is here. 

The Craft Sequence Books are by Max Gladstone and you should probably be reading them.

The tumblr artist Kathryn mentioned is Linda Marie Anson. 

The Soundwave Evolution figure review is live, complete with video, you can check it out here. 

Jada's Sherlock panel recap is here, Drew's latest rebirth post is here, and the photos from Nerd Con 2016 are here!

Original broadcast date August 25, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/08/binary-system-podcast-49-within-the-wires-and-transformers/

The Binary System Podcast team would like to clarify that we're enjoying the "Within The Wires" podcast, and that we really really like the Transformers. Really, we're great big fans.

Please keep that in mind when we spend more than twenty minutes complaining about them.

Seriously though, if you were confused about what was going on in More Than Meets the Eye #56 you really need to listen to this podcast. You'll probably still be confused (we sure are) but you'll know a heck of a lot more than you did.

Correction: it's Garrison Blackrock, not Gareth Blackrock. Whatever. We still don't like you Mister Proto-Headmaster, go away.

Many thanks to TFwiki for the staggering amount of Transformers info they serve, usually with a side of snark.

The article Kathryn mentioned about the worst episodes of Transformers ever is here. Surprisingly, the episode with Starscream and Cyclonus' voices getting mixed up didn't make the list. Not surprisingly, lots of post-movie episodes did.

The Transformers fan artist we mentioned is The-Starhorse on deviantart. She's awesome. http://the-starhorse.deviantart.com/

And yes, Thor Ragnarok is all over tumblr, and everything looks very nice. Especially that black suit of Tom's, yes indeedee.
