SFF100: Best Podcast Memories

April 26, 2020 08:00 - 32 minutes - 19.4 MB

When the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast began in the fall of 2016, Den of Geek was just over half its current age and podcasts were experiencing a surge in popularity. As a result we dove into our analysis of science fiction and supernatural television shows with fervor and were able to introduce listeners to the unsung heroes of the genre TV field through thoughtful reviews, insightful interviews, and discussions of our favorite aspects of this corner of the entertainment world. Alas, the journey ...

SFF99: Motherland: Fort Salem

April 19, 2020 08:00 - 44 minutes - 52.4 MB

We went into our viewing of Motherland: Fort Salem with some skepticism before choosing it as a topic for the podcast, but the show exceeded our expectations. Far from having the cheesy humor, aggressive feminism, or underdeveloped mythology that the series easily could have fallen prey to, we found the story to be deeply engaging, the premise to be wholly unique, and the characters to be immediately magnetic. With the podcast coming to an end with episode 100 next week, we were happy this wa...

SFF98: Tales from the Loop Interview

April 12, 2020 08:00 - 30 minutes - 35.9 MB

Tales from the Loop is an unusual sort of sci-fi anthology show in that each separate story is united by a common pastoral setting and a dominant central family. This is no doubt in part because the series takes its inspiration from a series of unrelated but commonly themed paintings by Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag, which combine scenes of everyday life with a normalized science fiction sensibility. When we spoke to showrunner Nathaniel Halpern and actor Paul Schneider, they both emphasize...

SFF97: Amazing Stories

April 05, 2020 08:00 - 43 minutes - 50.3 MB

Does the Apple TV+ version of Amazing Stories, which still has Steven Spielberg’s name attached to it, live up to the more optimistic vision of the stories we’ve come to expect from the 80s original? As we break down the first two episode of the series, “The Cellar” and “The Heat,” the answer becomes clear that the positive messaging is intact even if the intended audience might skew a bit younger. Both stories have minor narrative flaws that wouldn’t have bothered us in the least back when ...

SFF96: Devs

March 29, 2020 08:00 - 42 minutes - 49.2 MB

It’s not surprising that Alex Garland, who is known for films like Ex Machina and Annihilation, is the creator behind Devs, a series on Hulu that features his trademark obsessed tech guru that has let his own invention become way too powerful. In this case, the world is one in which predictive algorithms have become so sophisticated in their ability to anticipate future actions that free will is disproven and fate is set. This is perfect fodder for the podcast, which loves to explore the nat...

SFF95: Groundhog Day Episodes

March 22, 2020 08:00 - 43 minutes - 50.3 MB

In these days of coronavirus quarantine, one day can feel exactly like the next, and it reminded us of the many repeating days that appear in time loop episodes of some current and classic TV shows. Bill Murray in Groundhog Day may have set the standard for this formula in cinema, but imitators on the small screen have taken the idea to new creative levels even as they emulate certain familiar aspects that have become the norm for episodes of this type. For example, usually only one or two ...

SFF94: Cosmos: Possible Worlds Interview

March 15, 2020 08:00 - 34 minutes - 40.7 MB

Cosmos has been around since 1980, and the optimistic tone of both the late Carl Sagan’s show and the current iteration hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson has been the hallmark of the series. In its effort to make science more accessible and more inspirational to the average viewer, Cosmos: Possible Worlds has taken us on powerful visual journeys through space and time, and much of the credit for the impact of the show’s message must go to writer and executive producer Ann Druyan and the always r...

SFF93: Outlander Season 5

March 08, 2020 08:00 - 40 minutes - 47.5 MB

Outlander is long overdue for a discussion on Sci Fi Fidelity even though some might argue it’s more of a historical drama than a science fiction offering. However, we couldn’t resist sparing the time to admire the time travel implications of the first few episodes of season 5 which has main character Claire increasingly dismissive of any consequences her life-saving measures might have on history as we know it. For that reason alone, it deserves an episode of the podcast, but we also acknow...

SFF92: Locke & Key

March 01, 2020 09:00 - 40 minutes - 47.8 MB

There was much anticipation for the arrival of Locke & Key on Netflix once the trailer hit the scene, and although the adaptation was not without its flaws, we enjoyed the magical, gothic feel of the spooky Key House and the similarly creepy powers the keys bestowed upon the Locke family. The young protagonists were immediately charming, and the complexity of their evolution throughout the series made for an enjoyable narrative even without the fantastical elements. As always, we discuss th...

SFF91: Charismatic Vampires

February 23, 2020 09:00 - 32 minutes - 38.4 MB

Although vampires have been using powers of seduction to wile their way into their victims’ hearts for more than a century in literature, it’s only been a few decades since the creatures of the night became the beautiful, brooding immortals in television and film that fought against their bloodthirsty urges to seek human companionship. Despite the occasional misstep, many of these monsters became the misunderstood heroes of our favorite shows, and this week’s podcast seeks to identify the mos...

SFF90: Alison Schapker Interview - Altered Carbon

February 16, 2020 09:00 - 22 minutes - 26.8 MB

For those wondering if Altered Carbon season 2 will have the same flavor as the dark and violent cyberpunk adaptation that was season one, the answer is yes and no. The new showrunner for the series, Alison Schapker, previewed the season on the podcast, talking about how the story will not only build on the same consciousness transferring foundation of the first run; it will also bring a new kind of energy both in Anthony Mackie’s portrayal of Takeshi Kovacs, played last season by Joel Kinnam...

SFF89: Star Trek: Picard

February 09, 2020 13:34 - 43 minutes - 50.4 MB

Star Trek: Picard brings back all the feelings of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and builds off of many familiar elements from other sci-fi properties, including bits of plot from Star Trek: Nemesis and the 2009 film reboot. We discuss the brilliance of the show's premise and immediately appreciate the cast of characters that we're introduced to. The body of our podcast is dedicated to talking about the first two episodes, including the nature of Dahj and Soji and the history that ...

SFF88: The Gift (Atiye)

February 02, 2020 09:00 - 43 minutes - 51.3 MB

We've enjoyed plenty of Netflix's international fare on the podcast, but nothing quite like The Gift, a supernatural series known as Atiye in its native Turkey. With the same family history dynamic as Dark and with similar crazy visions to Siempre Bruja, this series delves even deeper into the nature of life and death while maintaining its archaeological mystery, fantasy adventure feel. It's a truly unique show that we couldn't wait to review! The Gift tells the story of Atiye, a successful...

SFF87: Cinematographers Interview - Manifest, Lost in Space

January 26, 2020 09:00 - 28 minutes - 33.8 MB

The director of photography is the unsung hero of any set, making the lighting and framing of a scene as important as what the characters are saying or doing, but in television, where episode directors rotate in and out, a consistent vision is particularly crucial. Science fiction shows have the extra challenge of creating a sense of realism in speculative environments, and to find out how it’s done, our Sci Fi Fidelity podcast hosts spoke to Sarah Cawley, DP of NBC’ Manifest, and Sam McCurdy...

SFF86: Best Theme Music

January 19, 2020 09:00 - 34 minutes - 40.1 MB

There are certain theme songs from genre television that are immediately recognizable after just a few notes have been played, but what shows have the best opening credits music of them all? The discussion topic each month has the daunting task of narrowing the choices down to three for each of us, and that was quite difficult here in January of 2020. Even the hosts themselves interpreted the topic at hand differently. In some cases, the iconic nature of the theme was at play. At other ti...

SFF85: Lost in Space Season 2

January 12, 2020 09:00 - 35 minutes - 42.1 MB

There’s no denying that Lost in Space is an edge-of-your-seat space adventure for the whole family, and much of the audience enjoyment comes from seeing how the Robinson family will escape from their latest life-or-death situation. On this week’s Sci Fi Fidelity podcast, we talk about the importance of viewing this series through the right lens, checking any nitpicks about scientific accuracy at the door and just enjoying the ride. We explore some new details that Lost in Space season 2 int...

SFF84: The Witcher

January 05, 2020 09:00 - 40 minutes - 46.9 MB

The Witcher quickly became a favorite here on the podcast as we delved deeper into the three central characters of the show: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. The show may be based on a series of novels and short stories from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski and a popular video game, but we were able to enjoy the story of the monster hunter and the sorceress and princess whose fate became wrapped up in his on its own merits. As we are wont to do, we begin with an analysis of the first two episodes...

SFF83: Jonathan Lloyd Walker Interview - Van Helsing

December 29, 2019 09:00 - 33 minutes - 38.9 MB

Jonathan Lloyd Walker took over duties as showrunner of Syfy's Van Helsing in season 4, his first head writing and producing gig in a career that includes the sci-fi hit, Continuum, which helped launch our podcasting career. In fact, although The Expanse's Dominique Tipper was the first interview subject on this podcast, Jonathan was our first interviewee ever back in 2012! Here in the wake of last week's season 4 finale, he talks to Dave about the broadening of the Van Helsing legacy, the la...

SFF82: Watched More Than Two

December 15, 2019 09:00 - 34 minutes - 39.9 MB

Ever since we began our two-episode rule, which keeps our show discussion to the first couple of episodes of the season, we knew we'd have to be flexible. Maybe we'd add a third or fourth episode for a half-hour comedy or if a shift in the story warranted it, and anything else would be in the spoiler-zone if we were able to squeeze in a few more in our own viewing before recording the podcast. But certain shows were just too irresistible for us to stick with just two installments, and others...

SFF81: The Expanse Season 4 Interview

December 08, 2019 09:00 - 22 minutes - 26.2 MB

Dominique Tipper, who plays Naomi Nagata on The Expanse, was the very first interviewee we ever had on the podcast back when we began in September of 2016, just when the Syfy show was getting started, and showrunner Naren Shankar visited with us in February of 2017 during season 2. Now, the two key players in the success of this space science fiction TV show join us once more from the set of season 5, which is currently filming in Toronto, to preview season 4. We asked them to tell us more a...

SFF80: For All Mankind

December 01, 2019 09:00 - 44 minutes - 51.4 MB

As alt-history science fiction stories go, For All Mankind on Apple TV+ is right up there with The Man in the High Castle and Watchmen, both of which we discussed on the podcast as well. Speculating on what the world would be like if the Soviet Union landed a man on the moon first, this series starts out as a sort of historical drama inside 1970’s NASA but begins to show the larger effects on society of a continuing space race during the Cold War, taking things in a much more sci-fi directio...

SFF79: His Dark Materials

November 24, 2019 14:03 - 39 minutes - 46.7 MB

HBO has done a much better job of adapting Philip Pullman’s fantasy adventure series His Dark Materials than Hollywood did for 2007’s The Golden Compass, and we’ve been enjoying watching Lyra Belacqua work through the mystery of the missing children in an alternate world ruled by a restrictive theocracy. It’s hard not to be charmed by the concept of each human having their own familiar-like daemon as their animal companion, and the world-building is rich with witches, Gyptians, and armored b...

SFF78: Aron Eli Coleite Interview - Daybreak

November 17, 2019 09:00 - 24 minutes - 29.3 MB

Daybreak is one of those shows that makes everyone think that it falls into a specific genre (zombie apocalypse comedy) with a particular audience demographic (Gen-Z young adults), but it actually has much broader appeal and may not be about zombies at all. So says showrunner Aron Eli Coleite in our interview with him in which he talked about how Matthew Broderick joined the cast, why Josh is not necessarily the central character, and why we should be worried about the change of leadership in...

SFF77: Streaming Service Wars

November 10, 2019 09:00 - 46 minutes - 55.7 MB

With the launch of the Apple TV+ streaming service on November 1st and the Disney+ debut right around the corner on November 12th, a question arises for us to discuss on the podcast: what is worth watching on these new subscription channels, and does the content justify the additional monthly fee? HBO Max also announced part of its lineup for its May 2020 premiere, and it's becoming clear that tough decisions will have to be made very soon. This first part of the podcast tackles the price b...

SFF76: Watchmen

November 03, 2019 09:00 - 40 minutes - 47 MB

When we decided to take on Watchmen for the podcast, we had no idea how different the series would be from its graphic novel source material. The show has proven to be exactly the “remix” that showrunner Damon Lindelof said it would be, but a central question of our podcast discussion is this: Do you have to be familiar with the 1986 Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comic in order to understand what’s happening in the HBO series? Other points of analysis include why this version of Watchmen decided ...

SFF75: Impulse Season 2

October 27, 2019 08:00 - 40 minutes - 46.9 MB

Impulse snuck up on us. Having aired on YouTube's premium service, it wasn't until the entire first season of this series was made available for free that it drew our attention, especially since the fact that it was loosely based on the Stephen Gould Jumper novels wasn't necessarily a strong draw. However, Doug Liman, who directed the 2008 film and also executive produces on Impulse, may have finally found the correct formula in this iteration of the teleportation story. Impulse is a show t...

SFF74: The Good Place Season 4

October 20, 2019 11:00 - 35 minutes - 42.1 MB

With The Good Place season 4 being the show’s final run, the story, which often had paradigm shifting twists each season, should provide an satisfying ending for fans of the unique, metaphysical, philosophical series. On this episode of the podcast, we analyze the four episodes that have aired thus far to determine whether things are on track to give a sense of closure to its audience, and the good news is: they very much are. It’s interesting to explore the possibilities for improving the ...

SFF73: Series Finales With Closure

October 13, 2019 08:00 - 43 minutes - 51.2 MB

It's never pleasant to learn a favorite TV series is ending, but if the writers are able to bring the narrative to a satisfying conclusion, it can go a long way towards giving a sense of closure to fans. This is especially true for science fiction and supernatural shows that have super-dedicated viewers. On this week's podcast, we discuss some of our favorite examples of shows that were able to end well. Paradoxically, we found that some of the best finales provided closure by leaving the sto...

SFF72: Undone

October 06, 2019 08:00 - 38 minutes - 44.7 MB

Undone on Amazon is a genre-defying, literary, artistically animated masterpiece, and we're not just saying that because it involves time travel (although that could only help). In this podcast, we discuss the premise of the show and how it came to be, and then we dive into the first three episodes in more detail. The spoiler zone shares overall impressions of season 1 for those who have seen all eight episodes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SFF71: Jazmyn Simon Interview - Raising Dion

September 29, 2019 08:00 - 25 minutes - 30.4 MB

The premise for Raising Dion may seem simple: a single mother struggles to raise her seven-year-old son when suddenly he begins to manifest superpowers. But this family drama from creator Dennis Liu and executive producer Michael B. Jordan is anything but a typical superhero tale. When the show premieres on October 4, 2019, audiences will certainly see a boy with powers, but they will also experience the community that surrounds him, including family members like his “Auntie Kat,” played by ...

SFF70: Elder Elite

September 22, 2019 08:00 - 36 minutes - 22.2 MB

We have nothing but respect for actors who choose to continue in their profession into their 70s and beyond, and there are many who have graced science fiction and supernatural television with their proven talents. In many cases, these actors have long and illustrious careers in film and on stage as well, but we always appreciate when they show up as wise mentors or grizzled villains or other similar roles in the genre shows that we love. The latest Sci Fi Fidelity discussion topic podcast e...

SFF69: The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

September 15, 2019 08:00 - 38 minutes - 22.8 MB

Even though we’ve covered plenty of science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, and horror shows on Sci Fi Fidelity, we’ve never reviewed anything quite like The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Billed as a prequel to Jim Henson’s 1982 film of the same name, the Netflix series wowed us with its artistry, its worldbuilding, and its impressive slate of voice talent. Although there is some debate in the podcast about the appeal of puppet-based storytelling, there was no doubt about its compelling m...

SFF68: Carnival Row

September 08, 2019 08:00 - 38 minutes - 23.2 MB

Carnival Row takes Amazon Prime Video to new territory as the tale of an oppressed race of faeries living among disdainful humans in a world reminiscent of Victorian England explores a mashup of steampunk, fantasy, and allegory. The series stars Orlando Bloom as the Burghish detective Rycroft “Philo” Philostrate and Cara Delevingne as the headstrong pixie Vignette Stonemoss. Several mysteries unfold as a series of murders and the supposed kidnapping of the Chancellor’s son intertwine in unex...

SFF67: Michael Emerson Interview - Evil, Lost, Person of Interest

September 01, 2019 08:00 - 24 minutes - 15.1 MB

Michael Emerson is known to most sci-fi fans as Ben Linus of Lost or more recently as Harold Finch of Person of Interest, but now he returns to CBS as a decidedly creepy antagonist known as Townsend on the CBS supernatural law drama, Evil. Emerson talked to us about his role in the new show and revisited some favorite aspects of his roles in Lost and Person of Interest. Evil arrives on CBS at 10/9c on September 26, 2019. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BONUS: Apocalypses We'd Live In

August 25, 2019 08:00 - 30 minutes - 18.3 MB

In our final hiatus episode, we revisit a topic that highlights some of our favorite post-apocalyptic science fiction and supernatural television. After breaking down "apocalypse" into categories like environmental, technological, viral, nuclear, and others, we talk about why certain disaster areas would be more enjoyable than others to live in if we had to. Usually it ends up being a question of who would help us survive or be enjoyable to go have a beer with (if beer still exists). We'll be...

BONUS: The Expanse Interview Mashup

August 18, 2019 08:00 - 32 minutes - 19.5 MB

Our very first interview in Sci Fi Fidelity episode 1 was with Dominique Tipper just as we were getting to know her character Naomi Nagata on The Expanse. We revisit our chat with her as well as our season 2 conversation with The Expanse showrunner Naren Shankar. Plus, as a treat during this hiatus episode, we have ALL NEW audio to share with Shoreh Aghdashloo (Avasarala) and Frankie Adams (Bobbie) about the direction The Expanse will take as it moves its season 4 to Amazon Prime Video starti...

BONUS: Spaceship Characters

August 11, 2019 08:00 - 27 minutes - 16.5 MB

How would Star Trek have been different if Majel Barrett-Roddeberry had been the voice of the U.S.S. Enterprise itself rather than just its computer? As it turns out many space science fiction shows have ships that are themselves characters in the show. In this rebroadcast of our very first "super six" discussion topic back in January of 2017, both hosts pick three shows that feature spaceship characters, some of which are currently airing and others which come from the sci-fi vault. This epi...

BONUS: Killjoys Interview Mashup

August 04, 2019 08:00 - 24 minutes - 15.2 MB

Killjoys season 5, the last of the series on Syfy, is in full swing, and we thought it would be a great idea for the first hiatus episode (before our own season 5 begins on Sci Fi Fidelity) to revisit some of the best parts of our Killjoys interviews with showrunner Michelle Lovretta, female lead Hannah John-Kamen (Dutch/Aneela), and male lead Luke Macfarlane (D'avin). These clips are shared in a montage style, concentrating on details that are still relevant and not season-specific, effectiv...

SFF66: Before They Were Famous

July 28, 2019 08:00 - 30 minutes - 18.6 MB

Thanks to listeners Mo and Richard for this discussion topic idea! The concept is we looked into the earlier acting history of stars of our favorite sci-fi and supernatural shows to see if they had ever been in genre television content before they were famous. For example, did you know that before Peter Dinklage was in Game of Thrones, he was in a science fiction one-season wonder called Threshold? We each share three examples as usual, and our listeners join in the game, and for the first ti...

SFF65: Stranger Things Season 3

July 21, 2019 08:00 - 36 minutes - 21.7 MB

Stranger Things clearly has no intention of resting on its laurels as season 3 has not only improved on its Halloween-themed predecessor; it has also returned to the horror elements that made the original run such a creepy 80's romp while refusing to back off on its nostalgic notes. It would have been a crime had our genre television podcast hosts not taken on this Netflix juggernaut once again. This time around we're focusing on the first two episodes and the premise of the season as we've...

SFF64: Clark Gregg Interview - Agents of SHIELD

July 14, 2019 08:00 - 19 minutes - 12 MB

Given what's been going on with Sarge in Agents of SHIELD season 6, we had to find out from Clark Gregg what he thinks of his new character after playing fan favorite Agent Phillip J. Coulson for ten years, both on TV and in the MCU. When did he know that his beloved role would be coming to an end? What would Coulson think of what's been going on in his absence? These questions and more are answered in this interview, coming on the heels of Agents of SHIELD's presence at San Diego Comic Con t...

SFF63: Dark Season 2

July 07, 2019 08:00 - 45 minutes - 27.2 MB

It's like we never left the town of Winden! Dark season 2 builds on the remarkably complex, intricately woven story of the first season in which four families' lives are wrapped up in the twists and turns of time travel and a disaster that has befallen their town and will likely visit it again. Our podcast discussion tackles the first two episodes only, but spoiler-free impressions of the overall season are also shared. Dark season 2 returned to Netflix on June 21, 2019, which for those who h...

SFF62: Black Mirror Season 5

June 30, 2019 08:00 - 40 minutes - 24.4 MB

Black Mirror season 5 has been available on Netflix for awhile now, and opinions have certainly been mixed. With anthology shows, there are always going to be some episodes that are better than others, but we make the argument on this edition of the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast that all three episodes of this latest offering were better, and specifically more thematically rich, than most critics give them credit for. We each picked our own representative episode to discuss, talking about the many ...

SFF61: World Building

June 23, 2019 08:00 - 46 minutes - 27.6 MB

Although we wouldn't necessarily want to live in some of the worlds imagined by some of our favorite science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural television shows, there are certain settings that amaze us with how deeply cultural they are. On the latest Sci Fi Fidelity podcast, we bring up six exemplary worlds, three from Mike and three from Dave, that contain details such as language, religion, and history that really make watching an immersive experience. We also share the listener contributi...

SFF60: Good Omens

June 16, 2019 08:00 - 36 minutes - 21.7 MB

Good Omens will go down in history as one of the most faithful novel adaptations ever to grace the small screen (in some cases, maybe a little TOO faithful). David Tennant and Michael Sheen are brilliant as the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale respectively, and the two characters anchor the show even more than they did the story in the book. We break down the first two episodes in the spoiler-free first half of the podcast, and then we do a deep dive with overall impressions in the spoi...

SFF59: Patrick Macmanus Interview - Happy!, Slaughterhouse Five

June 09, 2019 08:00 - 24 minutes - 14.8 MB

Before we knew about the cancellation of Happy!, we had a chance to talk to executive producer of the madcap Syfy series, Patrick Macmanus. Although we mourn the loss of this unique series, which was adapted from a Grant Morrison comic in the same humorous-but-violent style as Preacher, we're happy to report that Macmanus has signed an overall deal with UCP to produce more shows to shop around. He spoke to us about two upcoming adaptations he has in the works: one for Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughte...

SFF58: Lucifer Season 4

June 02, 2019 08:00 - 32 minutes - 19.7 MB

Lucifer is one of those rare shows that saw itself resurrected from cancellation as it made the move from FOX to Netflix for season 4. We talk a little bit about the changes we noticed resulting from its new home, and then we break down the major storylines of the recently concluded season. With plenty of story left surrounding the prophecy, the angel baby, and Chloe's new knowledge, we're left wondering -- will there be a season 5? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SFF57: Agents of SHIELD Interview

May 26, 2019 08:00 - 22 minutes - 13.8 MB

Just before the Agents of SHIELD season 6 premiere, we spoke with executive producers Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, and Jeff Bell about the story to come. By now, a few episodes have aired, so we know that the show, like much of Marvel TV, has severed its ties with the MCU. The showrunners explain why that's the case and also foreshadow some of the storylines to come, including Mack's stint as director of SHIELD, Clark Gregg's new character, and the adventures in deep space. We also spend ...

SFF56: Game of Thrones Season 8

May 19, 2019 08:00 - 46 minutes - 27.3 MB

When we decided to discuss Game of Thrones before season 8 began, we thought we would be talking about its grand exit, but as it turns out, we find ourselves having to defend the series against an onslaught of fan backlash. Where does the controversy come from, which aspects do we agree with, and which do we feel are unjustified? Join us as we parse the highs and the lows of the epic final season of HBO's juggernaut flagship fantasy series, Game of Thrones. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

SFF55: What We Do in the Shadows

May 12, 2019 08:00 - 31 minutes - 19 MB

We are absolutely loving the vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows on FX based on the award-winning New Zealand film of the same name, and we couldn't wait to break down the different characters and story arcs at the start of the season. With four vampires living in a Staten Island home together trying to navigate the modern world with a new mandate to conquer America, there is a wealth of episodic content as well as underlying mythology to discuss. And yes, the show has been renewed for s...
