It’s a very happy, full table this week!  Those who weren’t happy with Jodie Whittaker can be happy today as she is leaving the role, and fans can be happy that we get a new episode of Doctor Who.  The kids will be happy, as Miraculous returns for a few episodes from its fifth season.

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

We have a bit more of an idea of the week’s offerings.  House of the Dragon tries to get in on the competitions game with an episode about the Lord of the Tides.  Interview with the Vampire teaches Louis (and us) the rules.  The Handmaid’s Tale tells of dangerous missions and power moves.  Andor remains shrouded in mystery, but we know Stargirl has Courtney and Cameron are spotted.  Star Trek: Lower Decks, She-Hulk, and The Lord of the Rings also stay quiet.  Pennyworth at least tells us he will be dealing with a precious metal tree.  On See, we see a small infiltration of Sibeth’s camp.  For the kids, Miraculous, My Hero Academia, and The Owl House also drop episodes.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 September 18

The House of the Dragon has their hallway sconces fixed this week as they ‘Light the Way.’  The Handmaid’s Tale gives us a proper description to let us know a rebel outpost is richer by one June and Moira.  Stargirl brings some old school guest stars to find a new suspect for their murder investigation.  On See, we see a siege at the House of Enlightenment.  She Hulk and the Lower Decks, and the Rings of the Power don’t offer us a description, but we get new episodes.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 September 11

At the House of the Dragons, you’ll have to dodge returning war champions and suitors for the princess, but once you do you can catch up with the Handmaids as they return to their Tale with two episodes, one in the morning, and one at the ballet.  Stargirl investigates the murder, while her dad deals with being out of a job.  She-Hulk, the Lower Decks in Star Trek, and the Rings of Power all offer new episodes without descriptions, but See ironically gives us the most view into their episode as their explosives explode, either through popularity with the rulers or sabotage.  Primal ends its season with the Echoes of Eternity.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2021 June 13

It’s a week for Deceptive Covers, as The Legends tease an episode about chess with the title, but the episode description seems pretty run of the mill.  Batwoman teases a regeneration, but only battles classic villains.  Flash teases a lot of secrets, but instead unmasks everyone.  Superman and Lois suggests missing mothers, but they’re all there and arguing with their kids.  Blacklist gives us a season finale, and suggests to reveal everything about the stars.  Loki, Handmaid, Bad Batch, and My Hero Academia all have new episodes, but doesn’t give us any descriptions.
