SciFi TV Rewatch

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 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. 

In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne talks about revisiting the X-Men movies while Dave completes the final season of Atiye: The Gift and gets started with season 2 of the German Netflix series Biohackers. 

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands goes back to 2014 and his journey with the CBS science fiction series Extant starring Halle Berry and The Extant Podcast.

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.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we examine the reveal surrounding Laurits’ biological father and the implications that he may, in fact, be Loki. However, all is not going smoothly for Team Giant as the family fabric disintegrates as Saxa and Ran do their best to hold things together.

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 return to Netflix and the Norwegian fantasy series Ragnarok. We discuss the shuffling of the familial rosters and which side Laurits and Fjor will ultimately support once the fighting begins. Will Fjor and Gry’s relationship blossom or will an innocent human become collateral damage once the giants and Thor face off?

In our What We're Watching segment, both Dave and Wayne check out the new Icelandic Netflix series Katla, a scifi mystery that follows the inhabitants of a small town near a sub-glacial volcano.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands checks in with his weekly audio feedback and makes the observation that Laurits experiences some of the same emotional conflicts as Felix in Orphan Black.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the HBOMax series The Nevers, and our listener feedback. 

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the four part episode “True” and its impact on the overall arc as the show heads into hiatus before concluding with six additional episodes. Now that Penance knows the truth about the event and Amalia’s true identity, the two must set out to prevent the eventual apocalyptic future that faces the Earth. Still, it’s Myrtle’s enigmatic presence that confounds us as we try to piece together the notion that Stripe did not come to 19th century London alone. 

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave reminds listeners that the third and final season of The Netflix Turkish drama The Gift drops on June 17th.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands checks in with his weekly audio feedback, and Maureen shares her ideas about the mid-season finale.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the impact Maladie’s execution escape will have on the city of London as well as the coming confrontation with the Galanthi. Will Amalia and Penance be able to withstand the implications of the day’s events, and has Augie placed his relationship with Miss Adair in jeopardy?

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave has apparently abandoned Da Vinci’s Demons on Starz but watched the entire eight episode crime drama The Dublin Murders on the same network. Wayne is not happy that he got to see Britannia free on Amazon and then had to sign up for Epic to see subsequent seasons.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands checks in with his weekly audio feedback, and Maureen poses questions via email.

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.

In Listener Feedback, we hear from Fred from the Netherlands and Maureen via email.
