This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season one episode 11 of The Strain on FX titled “The Third Rail”. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet don’t listen. Actually, nothing really happened this episode. You can probably listen and get the same amount of enjoyment (?) out of it. As we say in this episode of the podcast, this show might be a great 8 episodes, but it’s 13. “It feels thin, sort of stretched. Like butter spread over too much toast.” We didn’t do any predictions for the final two episodes, but I’m still thinking Abe is going to die. Maybe this coming episode, surely by the last. I think we do more talking about other things, but that’s just how this episode was.

It’s time for a Star Trek movie event! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coelman Hinners and Michael Henley take a break from the end of Lower Decks to discuss Section 31, the new Paramount Plus original Star Trek movie starring Michelle Yeoh. In this episode we discuss this would-be TV series turned into a movie…featuring Emperor Georgiou, Quasi, Zeph…and Rachel Garrett? It’s not quite a TV pilot, not quite a feature film, but it is definitely a fun discussion regarding this divisive latest entry in the Trek family.
