1:53:30

It's the finale of season 4. There were many questions that needed to be tied up, a lot of different theories on where we would head. How does Margo handle the news about Sergei, what happens to the astroid, how badly beaten does Miles get? Does the show deliver on this final episode? Donnie and Brian give their thoughts!

1:20:27

Why Brazil? Because the writers want to hurt us all. Donnie and Brian recap one of the most stressful episodes this season...things are going to go sideways, and there are a 100 ways it could happen. We get to finally see Miles get the crap beat out of him, and the best Ed/Kelly moment. Can't wait for next week!

The table setting (hopefully) is over, and it's dinnertime! Brian and Donnie unpack the developments in Season 4, Episode 8. Sergei is back and it's beautiful. Can't say enough about these scenes...this is what we deserved. We also dive into the drama at Happy Valley, Ed/Alex bond, we get an Ocean's sub plot, and Dev continues to play 4D chess.

S4E7 - Crossing the Line 1:35:46

1:35:46

Miles gets 6 seconds too many screen time, the strike takes shape, mistakes are made, and Dev goes full bond villain. Overall this has been a great season, but there is a split in enthusiasm between Donnie and Brian. Can the writers land the ship in these last 3 episodes? We are confident they can. Come nerd out with us, and let us know your thoughts!

1:24:08

Another banger of an episode...a bit slower, but some hard punches. We get to see Ed go Super Saiyan antagonist, we get the Aleida/Margo reunion we deserved, and Miles turns full garbage. The show continues to weave earth politics and space is an amazing way, with 4 episodes and a whole lot of unanswered questions...the biggest of which, is Danny Stevens actually alive??

1:31:01

Is "House Divided" the best episode this season? We think so. We get big moves in Russia, Epic and Heartbreaking Dani/Ed drama, potentially lose a character we just met and love. And dumb Miles stuff. Check out out, let us know what you think!

1:06:08

"The Bear Hug" did not disappoint. Love us some Wrenn Schmidt, and that's what we get in this episode. The Soviet coup is so well told, especially through Margot's eyes. It was like you were right there with her, feeling every tense moment. Wren Schmidt, who plays Margot, seriously needs an award for this one. We get more of Miles and his black market shenanigans, plus some interesting dynamics with the North Koreans. Kelly and Alida – the buddy movie we didn't know we needed. Cant wait to see more of this! Overall, we're super pumped about where the season's going!
