Finale season pushes ahead, full steam, prompting another of our trademark marathon episodes. We kick things off with the week in comedy, reality, and drama, looking at the finales of Archer: Dreamland, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Jane the Virgin, and Elementary as well as a Drag Race shocker and a less-than-stellar The Handmaid’s Tale. After a quick break, it’s time for the genre offerings, including the much-hyped Laura-centric American Gods, the long-awaited return of Twin Peaks, and the finales of Samurai Jack, The Flash, and Arrow. Then to round out the discussion, friend of the podcast Dr. Elizabeth Bridges returns to help us dive deep on Supergirl’s finale and season two overall, from the highs (Sanvers, Lena, Cat) to the lows (Mon-El, James, basically all the guys), and everything in-between. Leave your thoughts on Supergirl, the finales, and anything else you’re watching below!

Back when you were on Sound on Sight I threw in a donation with a request that you cover Kieslowski’s Dekalog for the DVD shelf. My money was returned, but I’d be willing to do that again.
The first nine episodes of season 2 of Twin Peaks are in line with what came before. It’s after the resolution of the Palmer case that things go off the rails. The finale is also generally included with the “good” version of the show since Lynch came back to direct it and Frost has a co-writing credit (Frost only has one other episode in the stretch after that ninth episode, in contrast to the earlier version of the show).
