This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the showdown between Bill Boone and Jeremiah Miller and whether Lucas begins a redemption arc after releasing Cleo. Of course, the episode’s final scene in which Henry saves Clay’s life by teleporting him from the burning house to the safety of her bedroom puts her in a precarious situation now that she has to explain what just happened.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the significance of Henry’s visions during her seizure driven coma and her mother’s admissions regarding her less than stellar parenting. The teleportation narrative gathers steam as Nikolai enters the picture, and Jenna steps up to protect Henry from the man who knows all about her special superhero powers. 
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave’s experience with the third episode of Doctor Who leaves him in a ranting mood. Wayne takes advantage of the public library and plows through the first three John Wick movies, enjoying them enough to go to Amazon to order the Bluray versions.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands prepares for the release of Star Trek: Picard, and warns Wayne of the icky teen sex in the second season of Sex Education.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the rebound of Impulse after last week’s less than stellar offering. Separating the episode into three clearly dilineated sections works to great advantage, and Lucas’ grappling with the consequences of the murder of Amos Miller weighs heavy on both his soul and the episode itself.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave’s been watching the Polish crime drama Ultraviolet which focuses on a group of citizens who solve crimes and assist the police using the internet and social media. Wayne continues working his way through the Cold War drama The Americans featuring Russian spies embedded into the fabric of everyday American life.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands asks whether Henry’s seizures might be related to her ability to teleport.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the episode’s failings which include shoddy dialogue, questionable character decisions, and a failure to significantly advance the overall plot. Still, we both like the addition of Henry’s former boyfriend Josh, and consider the first stages of Jenna’s exploration of her sexual identity.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave’s five episodes into Netflix’s The Witcher and points out one of the more intriguing Netflix offerings that’s dropped in the past few weeks – the Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffatt interpretation of the Dracula tale. Not surprisingly, Wayne talks about the return of Doctor Who and gives the Series 12 premiere high marks.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands wonders how Josh’s introduction affects Henry’s attitude and whether Townes’ sister might play a role in Jenna’s search.
