The Origin of The Looking Glass

Morning, I want to talk (as per usual this season) about the episode title, but first, I have to say that my favorite Easter egg was this week with the comic book Knot Tops with the Top Knots that Wade approaches with his pamphlets. I knew immediately that things would...

Save Me Dan Dreiberg

I think what we saw was an iteration of Adrian’s visits to the surface as he spells out a message to Dan. Dan is rich and into tech so perhaps the satellite is his or at least he has access to it. Additionally, maybe Dan’s arrest is related to attempting...

Hooded Justice Assbang

Hey guys, Glad you’re doing this podcast I listens along the way for game of thrones. Can I just start with this show is amazing. The music in this episode was amazing, the attention to detail was spot on. I love that they are following the book’s styling with the...

Ozymandias In His Own Prison?

Hey all, I don’t really have justification or a lot of evidence for this but I think that Adrian Veidt may be in a “prison” of his own design. I think that the actual location of his new castle/”fortress” isn’t necessarily the big part of the mystery. I personally think...
