Caleb Is Bait For Frankie

Hi Shat crew! Gene specifically asked for our thoughts on the whole «Why would Hale «bring back» Caleb?» question that seems to have the internett in a buzz. I do have some thoughts, and I’ll try to keep it short: Ash touched on the possibilty that the rebelions don’t remember...

“C” Is Short For Francesca

Hi Hosts, “C” is probably short for “Cesca”, which is a common nickname for Francesca. She probably grew up, and went from “Andy to Drew” like so many of us do as we age out of infantilizing nicknames (no shade to any Andy’s or Frankie’s). Thanks for all of your...

Doubling Down – Christina is Hale

Shat Hosts! It’s Ken L again, and I’m doubling down – Hale is Christina. Last week I called in and explained why, narratively, I think it makes sense for Christina to actually be Hale inserted into her new world to actually enjoy the benefits of her victory. This latest episode...

Christina Is Halores’s Child Theory

Hey guys! Love the show! I have a good theory for you! Halores says to cryo-frozen William, that it would be pointless to bring children into a world where they’d be consumed by jackals. Now that we’ve confirmed she’s taken care of a whole generation of those jackals with the...
