The only thing open during the hour of the owl is legs. 

Yi-seo has entered the chat and just like that our alliance has shifted. Hey, we're a sucker for a wild child with no filter. On the slow burn revenge front: FIFTEEN years? Saeroyi has a 15-year plan to take down Jang. This man has been living off nothing but petty and spite. And we approve.   

All a king wants to do is celebrate the second name day of the son he had with his daughter's bestie. Oh, and marry said daughter off to a Lannister frat boy. He doesn't want to be bothered with a war that he's losing or quieting the whispers that call for his daughter's removal as his heir.  And that's why we won't have nice things and I can't believe dragons will die for this.  Speaking of drago...

We end the season with the Paper Girls separated, but with a clear mission: don't invent time travel! No idea where Mac and KJ were sent (hopefully someplace without dinosaurs), but Tiffany and Erin are in the '70s. I hope it's kind to little Black and Chinese girls.   

If there's one thing King Viserys is gonna do every time, it's make the wrong damn decision. Not that marrying a 12-year-old would be BETTER... What he needs to do is worry about those festering wounds and just let his daughter learn to rule from someone who actually knows how to do it. But, alas... he's in love or whatever.  Thankfully, Corlys and Daemon are both over it and it looks like we'll g...

Adult Tiff is amazing and we're happy KJ found someone to talk to about her love of "movies."   

S et nearly 200 years before they did my girl Dany dirty (I'm not interested in arguing with you about this),  House of the Dragon  is follows the events in George RR Martin's 2018 book  Fire & Blood —  the first of two volumes detailing the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty. Because the show begins at the halfway point of volume one, we don't get to see Aegon and his sister-wives bring Weste...

We love an old-fashioned tale of revenge and when it comes with a side of questioning class, privilege, and belonging in South Korea, even better. And if it stars Park Seo-Joon? Well, now Itaewon Class is just showing off. We were instantly invested in the relationship between Park's ex-con turned bar owner Park Saeroyi and his hardworking, generous father played by Son Heung-Ju. To be a week ahea...

We knew the inappropriate yet oddly sweet bro-sis reunion would be short-lived, but it still sucked to see Mac bawling on the back of that bike. Next up? Just how disappointing will future Tiff be?  

E ven though the episode hit all the beats of a series premiere (origins of the hero's power, training montage, etc.), it still felt like a 30-minute cold open and that's fine. It set up the quirky tone of the show nicely with hints of higher stakes and bigger dangers to come. Tatiana Maslany shines, but those of us who loved  Orphan Black  expected as much. This a special free listen to our Premi...

N ot having read the graphic novel series, my anticipation for Netflix's live-action adaptation of  The Sandman  was based on solely on my love of Neil Gaiman's other works ( American Gods) , the visuals in the trailer, and the diversity of the cast. Everything delivered in the first two episodes. Charles Dance's Roderick Burgess was like if Tywin Lannister went to Hogwarts — and you know he'd hav...

W e doubled up and covered two episodes this week because  Paper Girls  is just so damn good. The time travel, healing robotic insects, and giant mech are all cool, but the best moments continue to be the ones in which the girls bond. Those scenes are so well-written and the actors bring them to life in a way that feels natural. A few highlights include KJ calling out Mac for the hate speech she r...

In Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area, the reunification of North Korea and South Korea promises economic prosperity for all. In reality, the rich got richer, the poor got poorer, and in that widening gap a criminal mastermind hatched a plan.  

What we have coming up this week and beyond. Send show feedback to feedback@projectfandom.com.

Based on the graphic novel by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, Paper Girls is a live-action 8-episode series set in the '80s and follows four girls on their morning paper route. Too bad it's the morning of Hell Day. 

We take a break from all the murder with two thoughtful, but still hilarious, episodes focusing on Bunny's surprising connections with those around her and a look into the interrupted father-daughter bond between Charles and Lucy. We might be back to murder soon enough as it seems the newly released Teddy is Will's real father?

Don't judge us.

So, Bunny's mom did it, right? Also, if there's a next victim, I nominate Amy Schumer.   

There were some tech difficulties in three spots so there may be a jump in the conversation but it shouldn't be anything too bad.  Another good episode. We all hope Kathleen really did read Michael's ass for filth.   

One episode in and we're already arguing over which world is real.  Welcome back, Westworld. We missed you.  

She's perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. 

Why did I want to see the owl theory? HOWEVER, listening to Sarah describe how it scared the shit out of her and how Ellen thought it would be like a scene in a '90s Debra Winger movie made it all worth it. We all agreed this episode felt the most "TV" so far, but we enjoyed it. 

This did not disappoint. Dare I say, it was even better than I thought it would be? Young Leia, an Obi-Wan filled with doubt, a reckless and frightening Inquisitor in Reva, more cute droids, new locations and old favorites. Plus, that reveal at the end of episode 2. I have zero complaints.   

Michael stay getting ass and I don't know how. Also, did... did he join a Black gang? That footage had Sophie down bad.  Next week: Hoot-Hoot 

Still enjoying the way they're telling the story, complete with the reenactments of the different theories. The manipulation of the daughters is hard to watch, though. As is the obvious pure-T homophobia.
