It’s time for Take the Black Live, the only show you ever need to watch…assuming you want to know about fantasy and sci-fi TV and movies. Otherwise, you may want to seek out other subject matter experts.

Anyway, we start out today’s show by drinking a few fingers of the new Game of Thrones-themed Fire and Ice whiskey, courtesy of our friends at Johnnie Walker. I may have had a bit too much and let it color the rest of my comments. Let’s see how that goes!

Anyway, some of our topics include:

  • The Game of Thrones cast members are out there promoting Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection, and some of what they’ve said has raised eyebrows.
  • People online really seem to care about the Snyder Cut. What is it, why is it so important, and what does it say about fan culture?
  • Several expensive, high profile shows have gotten renewal orders before even their first seasons have even aired lately. Why are so many platforms taking this path?

Finally, we get into what we’re watching, and with all the great TV on right now, it’s a lot. We may have even picked up a new show courtesy of our commenters.
