In this episode of Breaking Goodman we are discussing season 6 episode 10 titled “Nippy.” After getting teased with just bits of the Gene timeline for the better part of 6 seasons, we finally get our first full story with the 3rd iteration of Jimmy McGill. We see that old habits die hard as Gene taps into his past Slippin Jimmy and Saul Goodman ways as a means to get Jeffy the Cab Driver off his back. The episode centers around a department store heist and involves lots and lots of cinnamon buns, a training course, and the legendary Carol Burnett.

Khazad-damn!: ROP S02E08

Crossroads Philly October 17, 2024

In this episode of the Beacons are Lit we’re discussing The Rings of Power S02E08. This is the season finale, which means after this episode, much like the Balrog of the Misty Mountains, the Rings of Power disappears for a long period only to come back when Amazon digs too deep. The Dwarves show up to save whoever is left at Eregion, Celebrimbor tells Sauron he’s going to the bad place, King Durin goes toe to head to horn with the Balrog, Adar gets a glow up shortly before getting Jon Snowed, Elendil has r-u-n-n-o-f-t as Numenor turns on the faithful, Isildur leaves his babe behind to go back home, Kemmen continues to grow his hater base, Cirdan is nowhere to be seen, and lots more for better or worse. We’re on another break, but will return soon with our awards episodes for The Two Towers and Return of the King. Lots more planned… but not scheduled.

In the now, in Prodigy S2E11 and E12, “Last Flight of the Protostar Parts I and II,” the Prodigy gang finally meet Captain Chakotay, stranded on a distant planet. And they have no choice but to roll up their sleeves and plot an escape! Then, we take a trip into the Before for more Chakotay character study, we journey to Star Trek: Voyager S4E4, “Nemesis,” where the commander is stranded and meets the Vori, an alien soldier race that harbors some secrets and enough slightly-off idiosycratic idioms that you can fathom!
