Okay you guys, this is a really weird episode to drop on a holiday: the latest chapter of Mayor of Kingstown (possibly the second-to-last episode ever?) bombarded us for 47 solid minutes with death, torture, plot twists, betrayal, and excrement MERRY CHRISTMAS. Seriously, this was hands down our fav...

The latest episode of Mayor of Kingstown was SLIGHTLY less stressful than the previous ones, but dear lord that ain’t saying much. Who’s next on the chopping block? (Probably Kevin, right? Poor Kevin.)
Kathryn also watched a fun episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Elizabeth says if anyone asks you to go see The Waverly Gallery you should RUN AWAY.

This week's episode of Mayor of Kingstown was slightly less stressful than last week's, but everyone is still in a hell of a lot of peril. There are some incredibly dangerous characters in this show, and it's a toss up who's going to be attacked by their worst enemy first. (It's gonna be Kevin, isn'...

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! While you wait for the turkey, enjoy a recap of Mayor of Kingstown where everybody is potentially plotting against everyone else and Ian still thinks he can murder his way out of trouble.

Meanwhile on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Mariner spends most of the episode in jail, Tendi completely loses the plot, and T’lynn sciences the s**t out of everything.

The theme of this week's episode of Mayor of Kingstown is paranoia. Is Frank Moses playing a long game and setting Bunny up for failure? Is the Warden playing an even longer game and hoping her secret connections will protect her? Is Mike's new friend/lover/it's complicated Cindy getting close to Mi...
