SQUAWKING DEAD

We knew Carol Peletier had baggage, but what was revealing was how deep she repressed the death of her daughter, Sophia Peletier, and how difficult it was to lie to herself (AKA Ash Patel). What is L'Union De L'Espoir prepping Laurent for and will Daryl Dixon have to put a stop to it?

Finally! Our first single episode breakdown of FROM! Which broke some of us! ...for a handful of perfectly valid reasons. Will Boyd Stevens remain unbroken? Tabitha Matthews faces her next challenge as The Cromenockle: being back in the real(?) world. Will everyone in the stuck place even make it through the night?!

While Rachael & Sherrandy play the part of Jim Matthews & Randall (Walsh, respectively) - seeking logical explanations, but still trapped in FROM's Stuck Place - Bridget & Dave further articulate what makes this series so good. What's becoming clear: you don't have to know exactly how this universe works to remark on human suffering and cheer when characters triumph over adversity.

I know it might not sound like it (at first), but the creators/show-runners of FROM have trapped us in the stuck place: and we don't hate it, at all. We go through season 1's lowlights and highlights while shooting buckshot at its growing swarm of mysteries. After listening to this recap, we are definitely going to want your takes in the comments/podcast reviews!

Bridget and Dave rehash key takeaways from the 1st season of AppleTV+'s murder-mystery, layered on top of post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama SILO in prep for it's return on November 17th. Despite describing all the ways in which it excellently wrapped-up it's first season, we were still left with many questions!

Not only have characters shifted positions, but the audience has been moved as well, at the close of House of the Dragon's 8-episode season. Alicent sacrifices her name and son, Aegon Targaryen, to procure freedom for she, Helaena Targaryen, and Jaehaera Targaryen. Daemon Targaryen sacrifices his free spirit to serve the highest of purposes. Rhaenyra Targaryen sets aside The Conciliator, Jaehaerys Targaryen, and becomes Aegon The Conqueror, as all sides - and more - march to total war.

Each character could've easily stepped away and everything would've been fine. Most plowed forward. In doing so, who do they become? Rhaenyra Targaryen proved the lowborn were viable Dragonriders but only after throwing the majority into Vermithor's dragons fire. Daemon Targaryen unprecedently holds his tongue to get what he desperately needs from Lord Oscar Tully. Alicent Hightower is the only one who steps away from it all, but even she returns with renewed resolve.

House of the Dragon reminds us that those who shirk honor/power/glory often have the burden thrust upon them. Both Rhaenyra Targaryen's & Alicent Hightower's collective loss and abandonment run parallel. Aemond Targaryen is hot on Daemon Targaryen's (coat) t(r)ails. We're suspicious of both Daemon & Rhaenyra recent blessings.

Formerly titled Assassination Run, Eric Kripke has finally found his line after doing the Mexican Hat(e) Dance on it for most of Season 4; KUDOS, however: pulling their punches resulted in a worthy close to The Boys' 4th season! Billy Butcher has gone full T-800. More than we imagined, Ryan Butcher may be far more powerful than Homelander. We'll probably see you again to cover Gen-V as we transition into the New World Order before Season 5.
