This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the premiere of the Norwegian Netflix fantasy series Ragnarok. Now that Magne and his family return to Edda, life begins to change as he adjusts to his newly discovered powers. Is he Thor brought to life, and his brother the trickster Loki? And what about Vidar and his eternally young family? Mysteries abound in this well crafted pilot, but it’s Isolde’s puzzling accident that sets narrative alarms on alert.

In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne continues with his Star Trek concentration and discusses his decision to rewatch the four companion movies for Next Generation. Dave completed the Alex Garland series Devs and now plans a rewatch of his film Ex Machina.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands points out the many and varied visual associations Ragnarok enjoys with Dark.
