Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 29

This week looks a lot like last week, but with new episode titles.  The on Call the Midwives, some fathers are making the midwives nervous.  His Dark Materials prepares as the mountain actually does come to them.  The Bad Batch finds their tribe.  The Legend of Vox Machina travel through The Fey Realm to the Echo Tree, where they test their pride.  Finally, My Hero Academia gives us a story of two characters.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 22

This week looks pretty similar to last week.  First, the Midwifes have to deal with some tummy troubles, and not the baby bump type.  His Dark Materials attempts to lead the dead against the Metatron.  The Bad Batch ends up entombed.  On the Legend of Vox Machina, the group walks away through fire and into Rimecleft.  My Hero Academia tries to help, but doesn’t know the right way to put out the fire.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 15

The cold weather has slowed the new episodes coming out, but we get the return of The Legend of Vox Machina.  Hopefully the new series won’t accidentally spoil my DM’s plot, if Wizards of the Coast don’t spoil everything, first.  Speaking of beginnings, the midwives on call reveal some secrets of their own.  His Dark Materials visit the land of the dead.  The Bad Batch, My Hero Acadamia, and The Owl House also drop new episodes, even if details are light.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 8

Another light week, as 2023 hasn’t put much on the schedule.  Call the Midwife skips us up to Mayday.  His Dark Materials visits the land of the dead.  The Bad Batch goes it alone, and My Hero Acadamia visits a different underworld.  Any new shows for 2023 that should be on the table that are being missed?

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2023 January 1

Happy New Year!  Get your year started out with some wholesome nurses from Call the Midwife, and we enter their 1968 and the racial tensions included that year.  His Dark Materials tries to fix their Subtle Knife.  The Bad Batch also returns for a second season.  Doom Patrol gives us a sixth episode, without a clue as to its details.  My Hero Academia returns for some infernal travel.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2022 December 25

The offices may be close due to holidays (or the chilly weather,) but the Breakroom Television remains on for a Call the Midwife Christmas Special.  Doom Patrol spends some time with the Youth.  Speaking of the youth, Star Trek: Prodigy finishes its season. The Bureau hopes you can curl up with some loved ones and enjoy your holiday!

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

The Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table is also getting ready for the holidays and is winding down.  His Dark Materials starts its third season with two episodes on either side of the table, sandwiching Doom Patrol, who doesn’t give us any clues as to what its fourth episode will be about.  Star Trek: Prodigy‘s season finale starts around a Supernova, and My Hero Academia ends it’s season with a Final Performance.

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.

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.
