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.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 January 30

With 2022’s first month closing, we will also get the close of Star Trek: Prodigy’s opening season.  I hope you had a chance to watch it, with out without kids, because it hits at the core of Star Trek.   Raised by Wolves also returns, but doesn’t give us a description, much like the new episodes of Peacemaker and Boba Fett.  Superman and Lois return from the mines of misdirection last week for us to focus on Lana’s family.  Naomi finds out she’s been kept in the dark.  The Legends get to face their AI doppelgangers.  The rogues of Batwoman’s learn the value of teamwork.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 January 23

Feels like a short week, as Superman & Lois start off trying not to name the big bad in the mines (or JD has followed a red herring.)  Naomi gets her training montage this week.  The Legends go to a Time Travels bar, and I hope we get some nods to my other favorite time travelers.  (At least a police box or Delorean parked out front.)  Batwoman has a modified status quo, and spends the episode learning to live in it.  Boba Fett, Peacemaker, and Star Trek’s Prodigies all give us my most anticipated new episodes this week, but no descriptions.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 January 16

Well, if the end of The Expanse didn’t make you swear off our table, we have a few different newcomers, though neither seem to be aiming for quite the same niche.  Naomi (thanks again, visionary_coward!) joins The CW’s DC collection with her second episode sees Naomi grilling her parents.  If family television isn’t your thing, but you still want some DC action, Peacemaker’s second week (fourth episode) airs this week.  It is definitely not family friendly, but the opening credits should give you a good idea of how seriously they take everything.  Superman and Lois continues to try to find a direction for their second season.  The Legends turn their mansion into a 90s reality show, but in hell.  Batwoman is after the original Poison Ivy while the new one is still on the run.  The Blacklist tells us how Dembe joined the FBI.  We also have Midwives, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Boba Fett, but no details about what’s in their episodes.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 January 9

“When are my CW shows Dropping?” Complains my fellow bureaucrats.  Well, good news, that week is this week!  First, we have the most drastic of circumstances in the most gentle way possible as Call the Midwife deals with some devastating diagnosis.  Superman & Lois come back for season two, setting the scenes for smalltown drama.  Meanwhile on Tatooine, Boba Fett and Agent May continue to try to consolidate power.  The Legends pick their season up as Sara realizes they aren’t exactly good for the timeline (No word on if Marvin actually makes an appearance.)  Batwoman gives us some of Renee’s backstory.  Star Trek: Prodigy reveals some more of the ships backstory.  The Blacklist plays tennis.  We also get the series finale in an extra long episode that I expect will have trouble wrapping up all the available plot lines.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 November 7

A number of our shows Dwindled Closed last week, leaving a shorter table this week.  Supergirl is ending her season and her series, as well.  She has two episodes, taking care of their fifth dimensional imp and Lex (no relation), as well as marrying off two of their characters.  The Legends make it to New York and meet some mad scientists.  Batwoman gets Pyggy with it.  The Doctor revisits a war with their deadly spud enemies.  The Blacklist takes down a golden age comic book hero.  Foundation faces their null field while the emperor takes a dare.  We don’t get any details, but Star Trek: Prodigy continues this week, as does Doom Patrol and Young Justice.
