Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis for this week’s episode of the YouTube production Impulse, and our listener feedback. 
This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the premiere of the Norwegian Netflix fantasy series Ragnarok. Now that Magne and his family return to Edda, life begins to change as he adjusts to his newly discovered powers. Is he Thor brought to life, and his brother the trickster Loki? And what about Vidar and his eternally young family? Mysteries abound in this well crafted pilot, but it’s Isolde’s puzzling accident that sets narrative alarms on alert.
In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne continues with his Star Trek concentration and discusses his decision to rewatch the four companion movies for Next Generation. Dave completed the Alex Garland series Devs and now plans a rewatch of his film Ex Machina.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands points out the many and varied visual associations Ragnarok enjoys with Dark.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the season and series finale in which Henry learns some painful truths about Nikolai and her father. However, it’s the final scene in a Barcelona square that raises the most questions, not only about Henry’s future, but also about the lost storytelling opportunities resulting from the series cancellation. 
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave’s return to Westworld leads him to go back for a season one rewatch, and points out the new Freeform series Motherland: Fort Salem. Wayne finally reacts to Fred’s high praise of CBS All Access’ Picard and binges the entire season. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands lets Dave know he can rest easy about the closure provided by the Impulse series finale.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis for this week’s episode of the YouTube production Impulse, and our listener feedback. 
This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss Henry’s decision to temporarily remove Anna Hulce from the narrative equation, and whether she truly intends to return her to safety. Wayne contends that Thomas has committed the biggest relationship blunder a man of his standing can make, and Dave worries a bit about the coming season and series finale.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave finally gets caught with The Magicians and has a positive reaction to the series’ finale. Somehow, he also returns to HBO’s Westworld and in response to its complex third season has also initiated a series rewatch. Wayne zeroes in on the unusual Oscar nominated film Jo Jo Rabbit.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands questions the extended screen time of Nikolai’s fight with his sister, and trusts Dave that the season finale can provide some measure of closure for the series which was not renewed for a third season.
