Maeve is Serac’s Winter Line

Shat Crew: Thanks again for everything you do, especially during this public health crisis when many people – me included – need some friendly voices in their ears. Big D – you’re always my favorite, especially all the talk about bears. Dear me! I’m a bit of a WWII nerd...

Stubbs’ Amazing Performance

Good Evening Guys and Gal, To start, I would like to keep the wonderfully earned momentum, and welcome Ashley to the family. Her emails were one of the highlights I looked forward to during season 1 and 2 and now it’s fantastic to get a healthy dose of her perspective...

Dolores & Bernard – Adversary AIs

A way a fix The Game of Thrones Ending

Hey guys, and Ashley I know this may sound like a tin foil hat theory but what if that Game of Thrones reference with Drogon was a way for HBO to say hey we’re going to fix the ending of Game of Thrones. They want to let us G.O.T fans...

The nature of reality

Hey, Shatters! Some thoughts before your deep dive: I would like to believe that all this questioning being brought up (in the show) if what we’re seeing is real is just to throw us off the scent. The first two seasons had a lot of “who’s a host” questions and...
