Episode 420 Tribes of Europa S01E01 Chapter 1

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Netflix series Tribes of Europa, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the decisions made by the three siblings after the Atlantian craft crashes in their forest. From the start, the world building is outstanding, and information about the various post Black December tribes is gradually parcelled out. Yes, the pilot contains some narrative tropes, but the compelling characters and initial storylines are enough to compensate for any shortcomings.
In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne checks out Gunpowder Milkshake and elicits surprise that Dave loves it as much as he does. Once again, Dave implores listeners to give the Netflix fantasy crime drama Lucifer a shot as it prepares to air its sixth and final season.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the role emotions play on both sides as Team Giant finds itself without a solid leader, and Team Thor must contend with Magne’s decision to drop out of the fight. On the other hand, it turns out that Iman is more than up to the task of taking on the giants, and the scene at the gym stands out as a series highlight. Still, it appears that Fjor and Laurits could either join forces or square off against each other. Time will tell.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Netflix series Ragnarok, and our listener feedback. 
This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the writers’ decision to kill off two main characters and the impact these deaths are likely to have on the main narrative. Now that the gods have revealed themselves, Magna’s task becomes somewhat easier, but how Laurits decides to enter the coming war proves the most difficult to predict.
In our What We're Watching segment, it turns out that we both watched the Amazon Video release of The Tomorrow War and agree that despite the criticism it’s received on the internet, it was still an enjoyable time travel movie. Wayne, however, is disappointed with The Handmaid’s Tale season finale, and Dave dives into the third season of Atiye: The Gift on Netflix.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands praises the CGI special effects but finds Laurits’ injection of Wotan’s blood a bit problematic. David Haworth checks in via the Facebook group and wonders whether Turid may be the elusive goddess Freya.

In our What We're Watching segment, we agree that talking about the Netflix Icelandic series Katla should be something we address sooner rather than later. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands questions whether Laurits is setting Vidar up for a fall and points out that no one at the retirement home appears to notices Wenche’s death and subsequent disintegration.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the latest reveal that Amalia may, in fact, be from another timeline, and the body she inhabits may not be her own. However, it’s Myrtle’s deciphering the message hidden in Mary’s son that has the most emotional impact as Amalia learns that she’s not as alone as she fears. Though all signs point to Lord Massen as the man behind Mary’s murder, it’s still not clear if someone’s influencing him. 
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave started watching Da Vinci’s Demons on Starz, and Wayne goes back even further in time with Sky Studio’s Britannia now streaming on Amazon.
