2021 Annual Premier!
The schedule looks different this week, but Discovery has the actual season finale this week, and Expanse keeps us out in space a bit more. If that makes you feel a bit agoraphobic and want to enjoy the cramped, locked up feeling, there’s good news as David Tennant and Michael Sheen return for season 2 of Staged. If you just have a song in your heart, Zoey also returns. I’m still in hell with Sabrina, and then I intend to get a kick out of Cobra Kai.
Edited to add: The Watch starts, and per visionary_coward‘s recommendation, it is added below.

It turns out Scotty finally made it to space.
James Doohan, best-known as the Enterprise’s Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, died in 2005. His ashes made it to the International Space Station three years later, a fact only . Entrepreneur and “private astronaut” Richard Garriott, with the backing of Doohan’s family, smuggled the ashes onto the ISS in 2008, thus fulfilling a final wish of the Star Trek actor.

2020 Annual Finale!
The year is going out with a different looking line up, first, we have our regular series, with Pennyworth giving us a double helping of magic and Stormclouds. The Expense gives no description, but if you’ve been watching, you know which disaster is going to be foremost on their minds. Additionally, Discovery rounds out their third season, having discovered the future’s inciting incident cause, then losing everything.
We have two specials to start the new year, one as The Doctor saves earth from The Daleks, and one from Mrs Brown’s flashbacks. If that’s not enough, we also have the next big episode dumps of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to finish out the chilling 2020, and Cobra Kai to kick off 2021!
Hoping 2020 didn’t destroy anything you love, and hoping that 2021 is better for all of us, Happy New Year!

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 December 20
Penultimate Update for the year!
With the big holiday happening this week, you’d expect there would be less shows to watch, but the sparse releases to because of the pandemic means there are actually more shows to watch thanks to a Holiday Special from two non-genre shows, Call the Midwife and Mrs. Brown’s Boys. The one you probably are waiting on will be here next week, but The Fifth Doctor will be visiting the Midwives for their holiday special if you can’t wait. As for our normal shows, Lyra and Will have their season finale on His Dark Materials as the complete cast converges at Cittàgazze. On Pennyworth, our butler’s trip to America finds a magical delay. The Expanse doesn’t tell us what’s happening, and neither does Star Trek, but we know Mrs. Brown’s Boys are going to be discussing the 2020 lockdown.
From everyone at the Bureau, we want to wish everyone a happy Life Day and every other holiday you celebrate!

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 December 13
Our patience is rewarded! This week, we get the return of Pennyworth with his second season to watch the Wayne’s butler learn the benefits of being stately. Also, the Belters return for (possibly?) their penultimate season, as the Belt goes to war with the Inners. The Expanse, which might be some of the best true Sci-Fi on TV joins the other two finest space shows, with the Discovery giving us the second half of a romp into the Mirror universe, and the season finale of The Mandalorian, as he, Boba Fett, and Agent May attempt to retrieve The Child. Before all that, however, X-23 Lyra and Will ramps up towards its finale.

Star Trek Discovery Discussion: “Terra Firma, Part One”
This week delivers a solid dramatic episode, even if the science is pure comic book. Yeoh gets to demonstrate her abilities, David Cronenberg returns, and yes, apparently Remans still exist.
However, as it is Part One of a two-parter, I’m going to post a discussion. We’ll have a full review next week.
Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 December 6
As we crawl towards the end of the year, the seasons crawl to their end as well. Daleks wraps up its animated offering, The Mandalorian takes a fan-favorite (and a clone) with him on his Penultimate episode, Will and Lyra chase their golden compass on the Anti-penultimate episode of His Dark Materials, and Discovery gives us the first of a two parter. Seems kinda sparse, but on the horizon for next week is a return of a favorite butler and a miner skirmish.

Star Trek Discovery Review: “The Sanctuary”
Fans of pop SF know there is no sanctuary. That reference notwithstanding, Discovery must address the twin threats of a swarm of sea-locusts and an Emerald Chain Big Bad.
Meanwhile, Stamets and Adira bond while uncovering the source of the Burn, Book confronts his brother, Detmer gets to be an action hero, the medical team examine Georgiou, and Linus is a-peeling.1
