Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 October 3

Welcome to “Spooky Season”!  As the Bureau begins out October Reviews, our shows do not take any time off, so you’ll have it squeeze those movies in where you can.  Evil gets into your brain this week.  Chapelwaite is grieving.  Per a good suggestion, Y: The Last Man joins the BBTT, but the title informing me that our favorite multi-genre muscian had passed away distracted me from the summary of political intrigue.  The Good Doctor plans for a wedding as the hospital staff shakes up.  Stargirl takes a regret-filled trip to the past, while Supergirl searches for magical totems as Lena gets witchy.  What If will conitue last week’s episode, but gives us not advanced notice.  Doom Patrol assists Madame Rouge.  The Queen speaks on See.  In Foundation, the Empire argues with himself.  American Horror Story, Titans, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and the Boys speciall all are also on the table, but didn’t give us any descriptions, so they don’t get mentioned.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 August 8

Did you rest up the last two weeks?  We have plenty of new shows for you to watch!  First, Don’t Count out the shows from the the house that Kent built, as Kent visits his high school sweetheart while his son gets close with his wife’s alternate-universe husband.  The Legends go bowling.  Stargirl and Titans both start their next seasons, while copes with being being a golden age superhero while being in school.  The Titans don’t give us descriptions for their first three episodes, but based on the titles, we get either Batgirl or Oracle, Red Hood, and Hank and Dove’s return.  If CW shows returning is your thing, Riverdale’s got your back with a post-prison break roundup.  If you prefer the other side of the of the Comic universes, Marvel takes its Cinematic Universe and and tweaks it, starting the animated What If story with Peggy Carter became Captain America.  If you prefer to stay away from the comics entirely, but still want a new season, Lower Deck’s brings us animated, comedic Star Trek.  There’s new episodes of Miraculous, Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia.  Finally, if you like your shows coming out in last decade’s style, there’s SurrealEstate’s visit to a rapper’s studio.  (Don’t forget last week’s review!)

📺 Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 May 24

The seasons have actually closed for most of the CW’s winter favorites, leaving us with one Debutante Covering the slightly-less-silly content.  Stargirl finds out her own history in her second episode, while the Legends abandon any pretense of not being the “meta” show, and the TV characters are thrown into TV shows.  Hopefully, Mick lands in John Doe and we get a satisfying conclusion to that series.  Meanwhile, the House of Ideas debuts the finale season of its debut MCU show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  This season promises to give us some returns of Agent Carter characters while the agents are trapped in the age of men wearing excellent fedoras.  In non-comic-based unbelievable shows, the Blindspot team deals with betrayal both in their headquarters and the FBI’s.

Agent Carter Discussion: “Valediction”

In true comic-book / action serial fashion, the final episode rushes through a lot of material (glossing over how easily Stark’s name gets cleared, even if his conscience may not be) and gives us too little of the title character, before bringing us to the conclusion of… the series? The first season? Time will tell.

And while I found it ludicrous that two particular characters would be made cell-mates, it made for a great Marvel epilogue and cameo, tying the series in with the future we’ve already watched.

Thoughts? Feelings? Reviews?
