Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 March 20

A slower week, but if Robot Chicken’s visit to St., Olaf, The Good Doctor’s visit to a long term care facility, Superman and Lois’s visit with John Henry, The Flash’s trust of a suspected murderer, and The Blacklists’ Task Force visit with an escort service doesn’t keep you entertained, Bridgerton’s second season also drops at the end of the week.  It’s not exactly genre, unless you are willing to accept that Bridgerton exists the way Dark City exists.

Star Trek Discovery Discussion: “Coming Home”

Discovery had a rough start and received a mixed (and not consistently fair) welcome. It developed and, by Season Three, had a new premise that frequently worked. Season Four has featured some strong episodes, but permitted a poorly-handled, derivative story arc to hamper the show. The most recent season came to a conclusion. With one more season than the original series, Discovery still struggles with finding its identity.

Star Trek Discovery Review: “Rubicon,” “The Galactic Barrier,” “Rosetta,” “Species Ten-C”

Jett Reno returns!

Discovery‘s season finale takes place later this week. We’ve watched some of the strongest moments in recent episodes, and also a few significant stumbles. The last two seasons have been the show Discovery should have been from the start, but the current arc has proved a positive and a negative, for reasons I shall opine on below.

We hope to hear your opinions, too. With the exception of Enterprise, few Trek series have divided fans more.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 March 6

A slight shake-up this week, as shows from last week.  We have Miraculous to keep the kids busy for a few moments while you watch Robot Chicken go against the Powerpuff Girls.  The Good Doctor gets a pop star in the hospital.  Superman is filled with family drama, even pitting brother against brother.  Naomi goes gar shopping.  The Legends skip town this week, but The Flash steps in with a new episode.  In Season Eight, Arrow tried to shift the show to the kids of the main character, which didn’t work, so now the Flash is going to try it.  Discovery is out, but Picard is here to do Penance in their place.  Raised by Wolves doesn’t give us any hints about their second to last episode this season, other than they’re “Feeding”.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 February 27

Not enough to watch last week?  Great news, we’ve got more returning favorites!  First, there’s Ladybug for the kids, and Robot Chicken not for them, and then The Good Doctor returns to deal with the fallout of calling off the wedding.  On Superman, Lois is back on the same front page with her editor, and they are going after the Cult of Bizarro.  Naomi goes to homecoming.  The Legends settle down into their new/old lives, but as expected that’s short lived they they are immediately off on an adventure.  Batwoman teams up with her mother to stop her brother from pulling off a Joker-style scheme.  Raised by Wolves finally get into their Seed Box.  We don’t get descriptions for Star Trek: Discovery, but we don’t need to focus on that since Picard’s second season also starts this week.  If that wasn’t space enough for you, there’s a premier of season 13 of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and this season looks to be a doozy.  We can wrap the week up with Red getting the Blacklist task force to investigate a group one of them might have joined.
