Joining KJ and Meredith this week are two first time guests Alyssa and Meg. This week’s episode leads to the most complicated and potentially controversial death count segment to date, thanks to alternate realities, demonic viruses, and the humanization of an angel.

Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into Zombies.

Things with the Winchester brothers are tense, which means KJ’s ‘protect Sam Winchester’ alarm is blaring! KJ and Meredith are joined by returning guest Nick and first time guest, a true tumblrino, Androids! KJ calls into question the location planning of the panic room and the liver and kidney function of Bobby and the Winchesters. Lots of deep thoughts on character motivations, the way we rationalize on a human level, and some silly wonderings about the exact mechanics of demon blood as an addictive substance.

Reupload of Discussion 17 - Originally posted August 26, 2024, in honor of the apparent death of 9-1-1's Captain Bobby Nash (KJ is subscribed to buried alive theory until the credits roll on the S8 finale) ............... Have you ever invested significant emotions and time into a franchise only for a character who has spent all their screen time valiantly overcoming their demons to be struck down (maybe poetically, maybe just cruelly) in the final moments? Had all their character development undone for the sake of symmetry? (If you answer no, I've got bad news for you about some upcoming content on this podcast) Were you left emotionally bereft when a character was killed off instead of given the in-universe time and resources to manage their trauma? Well, you're not alone! KJ and Meredith are joined this week by Mary (Carrying Wayward) and JJ (@jjbwaywatch) to talk about some shows and movies that ended in the death of a major (and thoroughly traumatized) character, and discuss why this trope is so popular with writers but maybe less popular with the audience. Spoiler alert for the endings and/or major character deaths of the following pieces of media: Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Sons of Anarchy, Veronica Mars, Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Princess Bride, and Timeless.
