We watched the series finale of Station Eleven this week, only three and a half years late, that’s a record for us! (Except for when we watched Mayor of Kingstown season three the same month it was released. Or Love Death and Robots the same week it came out. We’re bad at TV except when we’re not. Don’t try to logic the bit. Shoo.)

Massive great big spoiler warnings of course, because we can’t talk about the final episode without going over every bit that kicked us right in the heart and surprised the hell out of us. Seriously, we had our guesses where things were going to go and we were wrong every time and we loved every bit of it. (Except Alex. Could you just PICK A SIDE. ALEX.)

After that we touched briefly on the Hugo Award winners, most of which were also a surprise, including Star Trek: Lower Decks getting best Graphic Story AND best Dramatic Short Form. (Listen in for Elizabeth trying to correct Kathryn that of COURSE she got that wrong because they didn’t get both OH NO WAIT THEY DID.)

And then of course we’ve gotta tangent some tangents, and discuss the upcoming season of Mayor of Kingstown, and why it’s probably good it’s the last one, and how they darn well better give us some angst-ridden Mike because that’s what we LIKE.

This week’s outro is a clip from Acoustic Blues Solo Guitar by Musinova.
