Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis for the Dark season 3 premiere, and our listener feedback. 
This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the return of Dark for its third and final season which appears to now center on Jonas and Alt Martha and their attempt to save both their worlds from disaster. Will the Adam and Eve motif ultimately lead to a Garden of Eden scenario that allows both universes to survive, or will difficult choices have to be made? While we enjoy a certain familiarity with most of the characters, the introduction of a mysterious trio raises even more questions.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave nears the end of season one of Once Upon a Time and begins the sophomore offering of the Netflix fantasy, horror series The Order. Wayne suggests Dave check out the Matt Damon drama Ford v Ferrari.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands feels the Perry Mason reboot falls flat, and Karen from Colorado joins the SFTVR family as a listener, contributor, and patron.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the turmoil within the Jutul family as Vidar and Ran engage in a brief knife fight, but it’s the well designed clash between brother and sister that highlights the episode. Is Fjor’s affection for Gry true, and will she be collateral damage once the real battle begins? Perhaps just as important are the hints that Iman may be the seer described in the opening sequence.
In our What We're Watching segment, Dave makes it to season four of The Last Kingdom and reminds listeners of the return of The 100 and Marvel Agents of SHIELD. Wayne provides a cautionary warning about the HBO series Run. His basic message? Run away as quickly as you can.

Wayne goes international with the Netflix drama Fauda, a series that explores the human side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands reminds us that even though he wasn’t able to watch the series opener in time for the podcast, the film piqued his interest.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the long range implications of the visual reveals that take place during dinner at the Jutul home, and the role Gry might play as the story unfolds. We consider who’s in charge of the Jutul family anyway, and speculate about what they buried in the mountain way back in 1967?

Episode 351 Ragnarok S01E02 541 Meters

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 episode 2 of the Norwegian Netflix fantasy series Ragnarok. It seems fairly clear to both of us that Magne’s transformation into the god Thor has nearly reached a tipping point, and a large scale act can’t be far behind. Enough hints are also dropped about his brother Laurits that we feel safe in anointing him the 21st century Loki. But what of the Jutul family? Gods or giants?
In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne reluctantly can’t comment on the current season of Westworld, but suffice it to say, he loves it. Dave continues his Westworld rewatch and has nearly completed the second season. He also looks forward to the new incarnation of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. 
In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands still feels good about his prediction that Laurits may be Vidar’s son.
