Happy Thanks Giving to all our American Listeners.
For this episode we discuss a number of shows, but we star with Tha Mandalorian, which as of recording was at the third episode. We talk about how we like the simplicity of the shows story telling as well as our mutual love of the baby yoda.
Also up for discussion is our views on the recent series of Black Lightning, the new series of Nancy Drew, which has been putting a really nice supernatural twist on the popular teenage detective as well as the recent Star Trek: Discovery comic book series Aftermath, which shows us how Spock deals with the change of no longer having a half sister in his life.
So if you love science fiction and any of the shows that we discuss. Feel free to tune in and tell your friends about the show.
