Geek Between the Lines

This week, we tackle the theme of courage in Harry Potter (although there is so much in the series, it's more like we just graze the surface). We discuss the Battle of Hogwarts, ponder if Dumbledore is actually very brave at all, and re-sort some characters. In the end, Brittany gushes about Harry while Chris finds himself falling in love with that green-eyed, messy-haired boy.

This week, we look at war in Star Wars. We examine Padme Amidala's efforts to avoid war, think about how war does and doesn't impact relationships in the series, critique the absence of significant elements of warfare, and wonder about underlying causes of Star Wars conflicts. While this week's theme sounds overly apparent, we actually find that SW isn't as good at war as it really should be - come on, it's in the name, people!

This week, we dive into the theme of leadership in ATLA and LOK. We have a fun discussion on Katara, the Earth Kingdom, non-powered character tropes, missed opportunities in the Northern Water Tribe, and even come up with a new fossil fuel company.

It's been a while since we last sorted any beloved characters into Hogwarts Houses, so we decided to have a go at LOK this week! While we really don't find a plethora of Ravenclaws, the other 3 Houses abound. In an uncharacteristic manner, Chris wants to force characters into neat little boxes while Brittany enjoys being more open. (Yes, we can still surprise you after all these months.)

This week we look at privilege in The Hunger Games, while trying not to step too far into our future themes like race, gender, and ability. We discuss Finnick Odair, the full Prep Team, missed opportunities for intersectionalality, and even areas that Katniss has privilege compared to many others.

In this week's episode, we look to the hobbits for beautiful examples of courage. We also spend time discussing smaller acts of courage throughout the series and don't quite agree on if Gollum showed courage by leaving the Misty Mountains to seek the Ring that Bilbo took.

It's good to note that by the end of the episode, Chris admits that he's a coward and wishes that the epic warriors in the Fellowship had revealed more of their own fears along the way.

This week we enjoy diving into all kinds of friendships in the Harry Potter books and look at Luna, Hermione, Harry, Dobby, 'The Marauders', and even Fleur! From powerful to disappointing, adorable, enabling, and life-saving, we praise and critique so many kinds of HP friendships. And while Chris misinterprets Brittany's words to mean she likes James Potter, she ultimately sets Chris right during this episode's takeaways.

This week, we touch on the originals, prequels, sequels, and even the Solo movie! We discuss Luke's use of (and failure at) nonviolence to defy Palpatine, ponder the difference between defiance and rebellion, wish the series went more into defiance among the Sith, and basically find that everything comes a bit up short in comparison with the brilliance of Princess Leia.

This week, we look at ATLA and LOK through the theme of fear. We think about how the nature of fear as a motivator changes each season in Korra, wonder if the Avatar state renders its user fearless, discuss how the rulers and the ruled in ALTA experience fear, and make up a great new hashtag.
