Buckle up, #TeamBlack. Queen Rhaenyra pulled off a few power moves in House of the Dragon season two episode six, with more on the way. Prince Regent Aemond continued to take full advantage of his temporary title, Prince Daemon finally received good news, and Seasmoke re-entered the plotline in a major way.

Warning: This recap contains episode six spoilers. You’ve been warned.

House Lannister’s army, led by Lord Jason Lannister (Jefferson Hall), is greeted by Lord Lefford of the Golden Tooth. Lord Lannister has over a thousand men, plus lions, and assures Lefford they will turn the Red Fork red. House Lefford’s army is ready to join them, but Lannister isn’t prepared to enter the war just yet. He orders a raven to be sent to his brother at King’s Landing, informing him he will march as soon as Vhagar joins them for battle.

Until then, all the Lannister men (and lions) will shelter at Golden Tooth.

Prince Regent Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is furious when he receives the summons, addressing his small council and Ser Tyland Lannister (also Jefferson Hall) in particular. Ser Tyland points out Daemon’s dragon is at Harrenhal, and, therefore, it’s not out of line to ask for one of their own. Aemond won’t be ordered to do anything by anyone, and commands Tyland tell his brother to march to Harrenhal now.

Aemond ignores Queen Dowager Alicent (Olivia Cooke) when she speaks and instead orders Ser Tyland to make an alliance with the Triarchy. Ser Tyland’s stunned. No one treats with the Free Cities. But Aemond insists the Triarchy will join them as they’d like nothing more than to battle the Sea Snake. That will weaken the blockade.

Alicent is allowed to speak and reminds her son the Triarchy can’t be trusted. She wonders if they’ve heard from the Greyjoys and is told the Red Kraken hasn’t replied. Alicent vetoes the idea of offering Greyjoy her hand in marriage in exchange for his army. Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) agrees with Alicent, which earns him a reminder he needs to set march to Harrenhal. Hundreds of Criston’s men died at Rook’s Rest, and he doesn’t have enough to take on Daemon. However, Aemond believes delaying an advance on the Riverlands gives Daemon time to build his forces.

“Lannister will march from the West. Take what strength we have and force Daemon and his Riverlords to fight on two fronts,” orders Aemond. He assures Criston that he and Vhagar will join them when the time is right. He’s looking forward to battling his uncle.

The meeting ends, and Daemon has Alicent remain behind. He relieves her of her spot on the small council, suggesting she should find other ways to spend her days. (You reap what you sow, Alicent.)

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Recap

At Dragonstone, Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) has accepted the position of Queen Rhaenyra’s Hand. Her council assembles and Ser Steffon Darklyn is brought before the table. With Jace’s nod of encouragement, Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) informs the council that she has dragons but lacks dragonriders for Vermithor, Silverwing, and Seasmoke. Lady Rhaena hasn’t bonded with a dragon, and her youngest sons are still babes. Her research shows that the Darklyns and the Targaryens have common blood. Ser Steffon’s grandmother’s grandmother was a Targaryen princess. Therefore, it’s possible he could be a dragonrider.

Ser Steffon is deeply honored to be considered as a possible dragonrider. Ser Steffon believes dragons are gods and understands that if a dragon doesn’t accept him, it could mean death. He’s sworn himself to Queen Rhaenyra and is willing to die a fiery death if it comes to that.

Rhaenyra and Jace (Harry Collett) watch and wait as the dragonkeepers stand with Ser Darklyn and sing, enticing Seasmoke to join them. The rider-less dragon does, and his presence is intimidating, but Ser Steffon stands his ground as the keepers give him instructions on what to say. It seems to be working as Seasmoke settles down near where Ser Darklyn’s standing. He slowly approaches the side of the dragon, and it doesn’t leave. Ser Darklyn believes the dragon’s accepted him, and of course, that’s when the dragon lets loose a fiery breath. Ser Darklyn is engulfed in flames and dies.

Lord Corlys returns to Driftmark and inspects his ship at the docks. He spots Alyn (Abubakar Salim) and asks that he sail with him as his first mate. Alyn doesn’t accept the position, insisting there are better men for the job. Lord Corlys doesn’t take no for an answer, certain Alyn can handle the job.

Later, Alyn’s brother, Addam (Clinton Liberty), can’t believe his brother isn’t jumping at the opportunity to serve as Lord Corlys’ first mate. He wonders if Alyn ever thinks about the wealth that could be theirs – including the Driftwood Throne – if Lord Corlys openly accepted them as his sons. “The Sea Snake would sooner have High Tide claimed by the sea than call us his sons,” says Alyn.

Rhaenyra and Mysaria’s plan to stir discontent among the smallfolk at King’s Landing is going well. Food is scarce and a madame tells fellow patrons in a tavern that the Red Keep has plenty of food and wine. They’re sparing no expense, throwing parties with whores celebrating Prince Regent Aemond. They’re feasting on racks of lambs and pies, while their people starve. Ulf (Tom Bennett) is among the patrons and he agrees that it’s not fair. It wouldn’t have happened if King Viserys was alive or if Rhaenyra sat on the Iron Throne.

Back at Dragonstone, Lord Bartimos oversteps his position and suggests Queen Rhaenyra has made mistakes. In response, Rhaenyra slaps him, reminding him that she’s someone to be feared.

Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) joins Queen Rhaenyra and assures her Ser Steffon’s death was worth the risk. Rhaenyra doubts herself but Mysaria believes they are on the right path. Although Ser Darkyln was the most likely to succeed, Rhaenyra agrees that she’ll look again. Mysaria delivers the good news that the smallfolks’ anger toward the usurper is building. Their plan will enter the next stage tonight, and Rhaenyra’s certain the escalation will be met with force at Aemond’s command.

The smallfolk can’t topple the king, but they can keep him partially distracted from war abroad.

Turning our attention to King’s Landing, the food’s gone when Hugh’s wife makes it to the front of the line. A cart full of sheep to be fed to the dragons goes by and riles up the smallfolk. The dragons will be fed yet the people go without meat.

Lord Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) informs Prince Regent Aemond that the townsfolk are restless and hungry. Aemond blames it on Rhaenyra’s blockade, but Larys reminds him the people of King’s Landing look to the Red Keep for food and supplies. Larys, in his usual slimy way, hints that he should be named Aemond’s Hand. Aemond hates flatterers and lickspittles, which describes Larys to a T. Larys mistakenly believes Aemond offers him the position, but what the Prince Regent wants is for Larys to send word to Ser Otto Hightower. He will name Ser Otto his Hand.

Grand Maester Orwyle (Kurt Egyiawan) reports King Aegon has regained consciousness and might live, which prompts Aemond to pay his brother a visit. Aegon’s agitated in his brother’s presence and claims to remember nothing of the battle that led to his injuries. Aemond deliberately places a stone ball from the council into Aegon’s hand and then presses both into his brother’s wound. He leans in and kisses his forehead but is stopped from whatever else he had planned by the arrival of the Grand Maester.

Lady Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) suddenly stops as she’s walking around outside the Eyrie. The field is burned to a crisp by dragon fire, which doesn’t make any sense. She returns to the Eyrie, and Lady Jeyne Arryn (Amanda Collin) informs her that Prince Reggio is happy to host her and Rhaenyra’s young sons in Pentos. Rhaena doesn’t react to the news and instead asks why she didn’t tell her there’s a dragon in the Vale. Lady Arryn reveals it’s a large wild dragon without a rider. She changes the subject back to transportation to Pentos as Rhaena stares at a dragon figurine.

Jace admires his mother for attempting to find a dragonrider. He wonders what Lord Bartimos did that deserved a slap, and Rhaenyra explains she needs to be seen as a ruler. Jace asks if she’ll lead them to war herself, and Rhaenyra believes it’s the only option. She can’t wait at Dragonstone and do nothing. Lord Mooton has been directed to march on Rook’s Rest and she’s reaching out to the Vale again. Jace believes no matter how many allies they amass, they can’t match the Greens’ armies. They need Daemon and his dragon.

Rhaenyra’s angry over the mention of Daemon, but Mysaria’s arrival and the news that their “gift” was sent calms her down. And over at King’s Landing, the smallfolk are on the receiving end of the gift. Rhaenyra had multiple small boats sent packed with food and bearing the Targaryen banner.

Grand Maester Orwyle confirms Aegon’s recovery will be slow. Alicent wonders if her father’s responded to her letters, and the Grand Maester says he hasn’t but that there’s now war in the Reach. House Beesbury is fighting the Hightower army in revenge for Lord Beesbury’s death.

Alicent holds Aegon’s hand and tells him she’s sorry. A short while later, she says goodbye to her brother, Ser Gwayne, before he rides out with Ser Criston. Gwayne also hasn’t heard from their father.

After the men ride out, Alicent invites Queen Helaena to join her in lighting a candle for Aegon.

Word of Rhaenyra’s gift spreads among the townsfolk and they rush to the shore to retrieve whatever items of food they can get their hands on. Hugh’s looking at the empty stalls when his fellow citizens return from the shore with armloads of food. They run through the streets carrying bags, and fights begin to break out as people strip others of their food. Hugh (Kieran Bew) even knocks someone down and steals their bag of food.

Alicent and Queen Helaena are lighting candles for Aegon when the Kingsguard informs them they have to leave. By the time they step outside, angry townsfolk have gathered and throw fruit, calling Alicent the “Queen of Fishes.” More food is tossed as shouts of “Long live Queen Rhaenyra!” ring out. Swords are unsheathed as the guards try to protect the queens as they make their way to the wheelhouse (carriage). One man’s arm is chopped off and Alicent orders them to sheathe their swords, but they don’t listen as the mob overtakes the guards. A few continue to stay with the queens while others are trapped and beaten. Alicent and Helaena make it into the wheelhouse and are surrounded again. The guards manage to ride through the crowd and return the women to the Red Keep.

Lord Larys withholds milk of the poppy from King Aegon as he describes Aegon’s condition. Even when he heals, only his mind will retain its full use. Aegon will be like Layrs, pitied and stared at. Larys believes Aegon will be underestimated and that’s something Aegon can use. He also thinks Aegon’s life is in danger as long as Aemond rules. Aegon manages to ask Larys for help as he cries in pain and frustration.

Meanwhile, Seasmoke has made his way to Driftmark and is sending the people of Spicetown running for cover. The dragon focuses on Addam, flying over him and soaring above the trees as Addam runs through the woods. Addam takes a tumble and Seasmoke lands in front of him. Addam and the dragon stare into each other’s eyes, with just a matter of feet separating them.

Back at Dragonstone, Mysaria informs Rhaenyra the gift has had its desired effect. They discuss Daemon, and Rhaenyra admits he was everything she wanted to be while she was living the life Daemon wanted. She confesses her fear that he turned against her. Now that she’s lost Daemon, that means she only has Syrax and two young dragons. It’s not enough to take on Vhagar. Rhaenyra’s thankful she has Mysaria when everyone else is doubting her.

Mysaria reveals her father raped her as a child and that she got pregnant. When the pregnancy was discovered, she was badly butchered. She was also left for dead and vowed never to trust anyone. That changed when Rhaenyra treated her as worthy and valued her as a person. Mysaria believes Rhaenyra is meant to be queen.

They hug, and slowly, the embrace turns into passionate kissing. They only separate when a guard informs them that Seasmoke went to Spicetown and now has a rider. They assume it’s the Greens, and Rhaenyra quickly mounts Syrax to find out for herself.

Daemon Continues to Be Plagued by Visions at Harrenhal

Prince Daemon (Matt Smith), who now considers himself a king, has a vision of his deceased brother, King Viserys. In the vision, Daemon relives events immediately after Viserys’ wife, Aemma, and infant son’s deaths. His brother’s seated on the Iron Throne, chastising him for saying “heir for a day” and for not being at his side and instead spending time in brothels. Daemon’s been disloyal and for that, he’s being sent back to Runestone.

Viserys cries and Daemon makes like he’s going to comfort him but doesn’t. Instead, he tries to escape the throne room, but the door won’t open. When it does, Ser Strong (Sir Simon Russell Beale) is on the other side and Daemon immediately blames him for his restless nights filled with horrible visions. He places a knife to Ser Strong’s face, accusing him of being an agent of the Hightowers. Or maybe he’s colluding with Rhaenyra.

Daemon’s just this side of madness as he tells Ser Strong to stop watching him. Later, he approaches Harrenhal’s gate with his bags packed. Alys (Gayle Rankin) is in the courtyard and Daemon admits he believes someone poisoned him or else there’s something in the air affecting him. Either way, he needs to leave. Alys thinks it’s the ghost of Harren the Black, and that’s enough to enrage Daemon. He’s done with her witchy ways, but Alys hits the mark when she lists all the places he’s run from when he doesn’t get his way.

Alys believes they’re all just pieces on the board. He calms down and confesses that Rhaenyra never wanted the crown. Alys knows that’s why King Viserys gave it to her, noting that Viserys didn’t want it either. He asks for her advice in dealing with the Riverlords and she explains that while House Tully isn’t the largest house in the Riverlands, it’s the most stable. If it weren’t for Lord Tully, the Riverlords would kill each other. Daemon admits he can’t do anything while Lord Tully lives. Alys tells him to wait three days and the winds will shift.

Daemon’s next vision is of joining Viserys beside Queen Aemma’s body. He holds Viserys as he sobs and promises to be there for him. He comes out of the vision when Ser Strong informs him Lord Tully is dead and Oscar Tully is now Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. His death came right after Alys Rivers tried to “help” him. Daemon smiles at the news and then sobs.




Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Episode 8 Recap: Captain of the Sh*t Out of Luck

Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Episode 8 recap

Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown season three episode eight starts off with a literal bang. Merle Callahan and a few of his Aryan Brotherhood thugs are on landscape duty when someone tosses grenades over the wall. That’s followed by gunfire. When the dust settles, three ABs and one guard have been killed.

(Reminder, this is a recap so there are more spoilers ahead!)

Kevin Jackson, Bunny’s guard on the inside, is in on the attack and signaled to the shooter that Callahan and his men were in the yard. The attack failed to kill Callahan, but left him injured and unconscious.

The prison tries to reach Warden Kareem Moore (Michael Beach), but he refuses to pick up his phone. His daughter is having a difficult time dealing with everything her dad went through, and he and his wife try to work out the best options to help her. Kareem swears he’ll make this right. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t be worse.

Mike (Jeremy Renner), however, immediately picks up the phone when Carney (Lane Garrison) calls about the attack. When he arrives at the prison, Stevie confirms the guard was killed by a high-powered rifle fired from a distance. Ian’s deep in the beginning stages of the investigation but Mike demands his attention. Ian joins him with news the sniper was at least 500 yards away, and Mike realizes the weapon was military grade. That means Bunny’s behind it.

Mike provides Ian (Hugh Dillon) with the address of Bunny’s gun supplier, and Ian promises to hit it hard.

Tracy arrives at work to discover Cherry is unconscious after apparently trying to kill herself. Meanwhile, Kyle catches a quick breakfast at a diner. He and the owner have a brief discussion about guns; she carries one and it’s saved her twice. Kyle wanted Tracy to get one, but she refused. (Given recent events he doesn’t know about, it might be time to ask her again.)

Mike takes time out of the Bunny situation to check in with Iris (Emma Laird). He really wants her to leave town. Unfortunately, their conversation’s cut short when Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) arrives outside Iris’s motel not far from where Mike’s parked. Mike pulls away before Konstantin sees him.

Konstantin confesses he’s having horrible dreams and worries the busload of dead women might have stirred up bad memories for Iris. His goal is the same as Mike’s although he doesn’t know it. They both want her to leave town and start a new life. Konstantin will provide the financial means to leave, and he promises to get out of her life.

“I can’t leave you. I’m not ready,” says Iris. She adds, “I’m loyal to you.”

Konstantin genuinely seems to want what’s best for Iris, even if it means she’s free of his influence.

Mike visits Callahan at the prison hospital and the AB leader blames the attack on Mike’s alliance with Bunny. Mike didn’t hit Bunny like Callahan wanted, so now he wants Bunny and the Crips dead. Mike lies and insists the attack couldn’t have been the Crips because of the military-grade weapons. It had to have been the Russians. He suggests Callahan take his target off Bunny and put it on Konstantin.

Mike promises to end Konstantin on Callahan’s behalf. He also says he’ll take care of Bunny.

Speaking of Bunny (Tobi Bamtefa), he’s at Raphael’s house watching over his family as promised. Bunny’s all smiles when Trey gets home from school. They chat about school but then the talk turns serious, with Bunny assuring Trey that he’s always on his dad’s mind. Raph needs him to be strong now. Bunny is moving Trey and Roe someplace safer because it’s too dangerous on the streets.

Over at Konstantin’s boat, the Russian mobster remains certain the Crips are responsible for the bus plunging off the bridge. Callahan’s men show up unexpectedly and interrupt the discussion with news that Callahan was injured in an attack. They’re there for an unscheduled exchange of money for drugs, and Konstantin agrees but wants to make a toast to Callahan first. Konstantin refers to Callahan as their “fallen” leader. He’s quickly reminded Callahan isn’t dead.

Konstantin is only feigning hospitality. He’s angry they barged onto his boat and shoots one of the men. He forces the other man (who urinated on himself) to carry his dead buddy back outside, with a Russian escort of course.

After it’s over, Iris calls Mike to tell him Konstantin just shot an Aryan. Mike’s elated about the news, and Iris says Konstantin’s cracking. He’s even snorting coke for breakfast now. Mike thinks Iris should take Konstantin up on his offer to set her up somewhere away from Kingstown. But Iris isn’t done just yet.

Callahan is informed Konstantin shot one of his guys and let one live to report back. The news that Konstantin personally shot an AB changes Callahan’s mind, and he’s now all in on taking down the Russians. (Just like Mike planned.)

Back at the prison, Warden Moore suggests that Kevin Jackson take tomorrow off. But first, he wants to hear exactly what went down. Kareem also says he’ll find someone for Kevin to talk to if he needs help dealing with what he saw. Kevin doesn’t seem affected by what went down, probably because he was in on it.

Kevin calls Bunny about the attack, claiming it went down perfectly. Bunny’s not happy Callahan is still breathing, but Kevin reminds him that at least the AB leader’s segregated from his men. Kevin’s ordered to stay alert and be prepared for the next opportunity to take out Callahan. Bunny also orders him to try and place the blame on the Russians and away from the Crips.

Mike’s actually in his office when Tracy (Nishi Munshi) stops by. She hasn’t told Kyle about being threatened by her co-worker, but she opens up to Mike that she thinks the guards are raping inmates. Tracy describes what happened to Cherry Maxwell, and Mike doesn’t have much sympathy since she murdered a guard. Tracy reminds him that Miriam never gave up on anyone, including Cherry.

Mike asks for the guard’s name, and Tracy is certain it was CO William Breen. She won’t say how she knows, and Mike suddenly realizes something happened to her. Mike asks if William touched her, and Tracy doesn’t reply. Instead, she exhales shakily. Mike will handle this himself and doesn’t want her to tell Kyle.

Mike meets up with Ian and asks Ian to stop him from hurting someone.

Ian arrives at the packed bar where the cops hang out and asks for a quick word with William Breen. William doesn’t know Ian and Ian introduces himself as a homicide cop. They step outside and Mike mostly lets his fists do the talking. He orders William to agree to transfer to Anchor Bay while he continues punching him in the face. Mike’s on the verge of killing him when Ian finally pulls him away.

Konstantin’s right-hand man, Roman, assures his boss he has everything set up for Iris to leave. Konstantin will pay whatever it costs to make sure Iris is safe. Roman joins Iris for a little coke and tells her to accept what Konstantin offered. Iris claims she feels like she’s in the right place now, which, according to Roman, is exactly why she should leave. Iris wonders why Konstantin always brings up Milo and learns it’s because Konstantin believes Tatiana warned him about the hit. That’s why Konstantin killed Tatiana. Iris snorts another line as she considers what she just learned.

Meanwhile, Callahan’s condition worsens. He’s experiencing abdominal pain and vomits blood but doesn’t call for a nurse.

Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 Episode 8 recap
Taylor Handley as Kyle McLusky and Hamish Allan-Headley as Robert in ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ season 3 episode 8 (Credit: Dennis P. Mong Jr./Paramount+)

SWAT arrives at Bunny’s gun supplier’s warehouse, but it’s completely cleaned out. Robert (Hamish Allan-Headley) believes Mike tipped off Bunny, even though it was Mike who gave Ian the tip in the first place. Kyle (Taylor Handley) disagrees, but Robert’s still furious the Crips beat him up and that Mike still sides with Bunny.

Robert loses control and won’t back down when Kyle tells him to stand down. Robert shoves Kyle when Kyle insists he’s only behaving this way because he’s not completely healed. Kyle says everyone knows Robert isn’t himself right now.

Stevie (Derek Webster) calls Mike and Ian with an update on the empty warehouse. He suggests Mike should talk to Kyle since he and Robert just got into it. After he hangs up, Ian accuses Mike of knowing it would be empty. Mike doesn’t think it matters. What’s important is that Bunny knows KPD is after him.

Episode five ends with Ian shocked that Mike’s actually smiling about all this.

(The episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Jude Dillon, Hugh’s big brother who passed away earlier this year.)

    Lydia very reluctantly turns to Beetlejuice for help with her daughter, Astrid, in the second official trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The new trailer serves up more of Michael Keaton, which is always a good thing, and shows Astrid being teased about her family’s history with ghosts. And speaking of ghosts, a lot of them show up in trailer #2, too.

    Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) reprises her role as Lydia Deetz and Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) is back as Delia. Newbies to the Beetlejuice world include Jenna Ortega (Scream 6) as Astrid and Justin Theroux (The Leftovers) as Rory. Monica Bellucci (Spectre), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon), and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) also star.

    “After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened,” reads Warner Bros Pictures’ synopsis. “With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.”

    Tim Burton directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on characters created by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. Burton, Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Tommy Harper serve as producers. Executive producers include Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, and Brad Pitt.

    Haris Zambarloukos is the director of photography, Mark Scruton is the production designer, and Jay Prychidny is the editor. The much-anticipated sequel’s behind-the-scenes team also includes Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, Oscar-winning creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan, BAFTA-winning Visual Effects Supervisor Angus Bickerton, Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman, and Oscar-winning hair and makeup designer Christine Blundell.

    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opens in theaters and IMAX on September 6, 2024.

    History’s Alone season 11 episode four ended with Timber setting up to take another shot at a moose. Episode five, “Something in the Air,” immediately reveals the outcome of Timber’s latest encounter with a moose.

    Episode five also checks in on Michela, Dub, Jake, and Isaiah. When the episode starts, there are seven survivalists still sticking it out in Inuvik, Canada, in the Arctic Circle. By the end, we’ve bid goodbye to another Alone survivalist who taps after experiencing overwhelming loneliness.

    (Recap ahead which means there are spoilers from episode five that aired on July 18, 2024!)

    Timber – Age 35, Salem, Indiana

    Day 14, 12:03pm – Timber’s arrow appears to strike its target, and he can hear air bubbling in the moose’s lungs. The moose manages to run a few feet and falls, and Timber’s ecstatic that he pulled off a big protein win. Alone estimates the animal’s weight at 1,200 pounds.

    Timber has a massive job ahead of him and immediately sets to work. Bears will smell the fresh kill, so Timber makes a fire next to the body. He’s considering working all night to prepare the moose, and he hopes for cold weather.

    7:13pm – He’s finished the top half of the moose and is going to wait until tomorrow to finish the job. It’s a one-mile hike back to his camp, and he’s already tired. Plus, he’s making himself a target of bears and wolves trekking around with the meat.

    10:37pm – Timber’s back in his camp, debating working through the night or waiting until daylight. With so many bears in this area, Timber knows he needs to build a cache and get everything squared away in the next couple of days.

    Day 15, 11:14am – Timber spent the morning finishing butchering the moose. Vultures pick at the carcass as Timber returns to camp to build a food cache cold storage. He spent the night worried about bears finding his meat, but so far, he’s been lucky.

    His biggest concern is preserving the meat in this warm weather. It’s cool on the north bank of the river and Timber digs into the bank to build a storage area. Timber burns a lot of calories, but it’ll be worth it if he has meat he can count on in the coming weeks. He also notes that he needs to save the meat from the moist climate and the threat of bacteria.

    11:51am—Killing a moose has increased his pressure to win. He cuts logs to size, using them as walls of his cold storage. At this point, he wants colder weather to set in quickly.

    1:23pm – He places the final logs and adds stakes in front, creating an 8” thick front wall. Timber lines the inside with boughs and places the meat inside, even though it’s not quite bear-proof yet.

    2:08pm – Timber declares Fort Moose Meat is finished. It’s an impressive cache; one of the best in Alone’s history.

    Day 16, 5:09pm – A mink is eating Timber’s meat in his cache. He chases it away and reveals it’s been there two days in a row. The mink ate part of the moose heart, and Timber decides to start work on rendering the fat. He can’t build something mink-proof, so he needs to find a solution to the problem. Timber realizes he needs to make containers and render all the fat since it’s the most attractive thing to animals. He’s going to cook as much of it as he can each day.

    Day 17, 10:16am – Timber’s built birch bark lard canisters and continues to render the fat down pot by pot. He’s using his shelter as a smoker for the moose meat. Timber shows off huge hunks of meat. He’ll strip them thin, place them on skewers, and hang them in the shelter.

    Timber has seen big bear tracks close to his cabin and is torn about smoking the meat in his camp. However, it’s really his only option.

    2:17pm – Timber shows off rows and rows of meat hanging from his cabin’s roof. The smell’s almost overwhelming as he starts the fire. Timber recalls being suicidal in his teen years thinking he couldn’t be enough for God or people. Now, he feels joy in his soul that he exists.

    Michela – Age 33, Cumberland House, Saskatchewan, Canada

    Day 15, 9:28am – Michela uses a piece of black carbon to keep her toes dry since she’s been wearing boots nonstop. Back on Day 10 she cut a game trail, and on Days 11 and 12 she started working on setting snares. Now, she checks a snare and discovers something has taken her bait.

    The traps are all empty and she’s heading back to her shelter when she hears a grouse. She misses with two arrows and spends time tracking them down. Michela admits she’s feeling a bit of anxiety but is trying to stay hopeful.

    Day 16, 1:24pm – She finds a nest and will use it to help start a fire on a cold day. She shows off a moose hair that’s in it before getting back to work cutting poles for her shelter. Her simple A-frame attached to a tree isn’t quite finished, and she’s fashioned it so that trees provide a windblock. It’s small but she’s okay with that since it’ll be easier to heat.

    Michela reveals she wanted to experience city life, so she enrolled in college, played sports, and went to parties. One day she had a mental breakdown and was hospitalized. Returning home to the quietness of nature helped her recover.

    She hears a noise and pauses working on her cabin to watch a marten hunting a rabbit along her trail. The marten runs off after killing the bunny, providing Michela with a meal. She gently works on keeping the rabbit’s skin intact. The liver looks healthy, so she slices up the rest of the rabbit.

    3:46pm – Cooking’s finished, and the rabbit is delicious.

    Day 17, 4:46pm – Michela spots a family of swans, and admits she wants to start a family. Next, she sets up a squirrel pull in an active squirrel area. She’s feeling incredibly alone and doesn’t like it. Her emotions are all over the place, and she believes this loneliness must be similar to what it was like to be taken from your family and placed in a residential boarding school.

    She talks herself into staying one more day.

    Day 18, 9:23am – Michela checks her fishnet, and she’s caught a huge fish. However, she releases it because she wouldn’t be eating it with joy.

    9:51am – She doesn’t want to have another mental breakdown and decides for her own mental health she needs to tap. The social isolation aspect was too difficult to handle, but the competition made her understand who she really is in her heart.

    Jake – Age 42, Fremont County, Idaho

    Day 15, 2:17pm – Jake’s still in pain four days after sitting on a rock and snapping his tailbone. He’s not worried about the injury, but it is something that slowed him down for a couple of days. Jake says he’s fine now and checks his net, hoping for a big win.

    He’s still yards away when he spots two fish in his net. Jake’s finally found the perfect place to put his net. He pulls in a pike with a burbot in its mouth, probably from the pike trying to eat the burbot after it was caught in the net. Jake can’t stop laughing over his good luck after a rough start.

    He taught himself how to make a gill net after losing his fishing line, and it’s really paying off. Alone notes these fish will provide 2,430 grams of protein.

    Alone season 11 Dub Paetz

    Dub – Age 44, Frederic, Michigan

    Day 15, 2:49pm – Dub’s still working on his shelter after the coldest night yet. (It was 39 degrees.) He uses a wattle and daub (mud and grass) technique on the back wall near his chimney. He believes it’s almost irresponsible to kill big game in this weather since it’s not cold enough yet to preserve it.

    Dub has placed spruce boughs and horsetail over his shelter for insulation, and he puts his tarp over that. It’s a small shelter but super insulated.

    “If winter came tomorrow, we would be fine,” says Dub.

    Day 16, 4:23pm – Dub has seen fish in a specific area and is using the whitefish he caught on Day 11 as bait. There’s a school of whitefish in front of him, but apparently, they aren’t into cannibalism.

    Day 17, 3:26pm – Dub’s losing it a bit, dropping a beat while he welcomes viewers to Alone’s first rave. His shelter’s filled with smoke, and he blames his weirdness on smoke inhalation. Fresh air will do him some good and he heads out to fish.

    Dub has lost 20 pounds since Day 1 and needs protein. He vows to shift his focus to food as he carves an L7 trigger rig that will automatically set the hook on a pike. Dub decided at age eight to be a pro fisherman and bought a bass boat. He’d risk all his money to pay entry fees into competitions and collected soda cans to turn in for refunds as his backup to buy fuel if needed.

    Dub sets his hook and reels in a pike. He celebrates and then quickly sets his line before cleaning the fish. Something triggers his spring pole, and he pulls in another large pike. It’s lunchtime!

    Isaiah – Age 35, Ghent, West Virginia

    Day 15, 4:12pm – Isaiah shows his nieces and nephews how he brushes his teeth. Survivalists are allowed toothbrushes but not toothpaste, so Isaiah subs in charcoal.

    5:21pm – Isaiah continues to work on his shelter – specifically his fireplace. He’s named his shelter The Bunker and brags it will have the best fireplace if he doesn’t kill himself from hauling rocks first. His fireplace is a combination of rocks and wooden stakes. While working, Isaiah reveals one of his best decisions was joining the West Virginia Air National Guard. He believes his military experience gives him a leg up on his competitors.

    8:48pm – He’s pleased with his fireplace but hasn’t eaten. The last time he had protein was on Day 6.

    Day 16, 12:37am – Howling wolves wake Isaiah and they sound close by, but he can’t really tell. He admits wolves scare him and knows he needs to get his shelter done soon. The howling will keep him awake for the rest of the night.

    9:01am – Isaiah’s exhausted after the roughest night to date. The wolves never stopped howling, but none came close to his temporary shelter. He vows to do as much as he can today to finish his permanent shelter. It’s a large shelter and he decides to cut off corners to make it easier to heat. He hasn’t gone after fish or game yet; he thinks working on the permanent shelter’s more important. His shelter’s cut down into the earth and when he’s done, it’ll be bombproof.

    It starts raining but he’s a long way from being done. With his tarp blocking the rain, he does a dance to celebrate being able to stand up in his shelter.

    Paramount+ has lured Rose Byrne, Post Malone, and Natasia Demetriou back into the world of reptilian superheroes for Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Byrne, Demetriou, and Malone will reprise their roles from Mutant Mayhem in the new TMNT animated series.

    The streamer also announced Jillian Bell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Timothy Olyphant, and Danny Trejo will be dipping their toes in the Turtles world as guest stars in the 12-episode season. They join Mutant Mayhem‘s returning voice cast Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael, and Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil.

    “Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles explores the adventures of everyone’s favorite pizza-loving heroes as they emerge from the sewers onto the streets of NYC,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey are faced with new threats and team up with old allies to survive both teenage life and villains lurking in the shadows of the Big Apple.”

    The animated series is executive produced by Chris Yost and Alan Wan, and produced by Nickelodeon Animation and Point Grey Pictures.

    Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premieres on Friday, August 9, 2024.

    Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New and Returning Cast and Characters

    Rose Byrne as Leatherhead: Leatherhead is part of the Mutanimals, a group of allies who join forces with the Turtles. Leatherhead is trying to adjust to her new life away from Superfly, but the giant Australian crocodile is having a tough time. Always ready to throw a shrimp on the barbie and go on a walkabout, Leatherhead loves the Turtles and her fellow Mutanimals but is struggling to truly fit in as both a mutant and an Australian in New York.

    Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut: The mechanical genius Mutanimal bat, known as Wingnut, finds a kindred spirit in Donatello, and the two talk all day about anime, comics, and their favorite sci-fi reptiles. But she does not love life in the sewers—she’s terrified of the dark, claustrophobic and a little paranoid from too much doomscrolling. However, Wingnut will do whatever it takes to help her friends, no matter how much it freaks her out.

    Post Malone as Ray Fillet: Ray Fillet is a Mutanimal manta ray who loves being a mutant just as much as he loves singing his name. And while the latter may make it hard for anyone to understand what he’s trying to say, he always comes in clutch (and in perfect pitch!) when it matters most.

    Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Pigeon Pete: Pigeon Pete is a New York City pigeon that got splashed by some bleach, chemicals, a bit of dirt and Mikey’s blood! As a brand new Mutanimal, Pete’s still getting the hang of things. He’s erratic and excitedly flails about, but beneath the coos and poos, there’s more than meets the eye. With a little time (and a bit of electricity), Pete will spread his wings and find his voice.

    Timothy Olyphant as Goldfin: Goldfin is the leader of the East River Three, a group of evil inhabitants of New York’s East River who were minding their own business when a massive sci-fi machine transformed them into mutants. However, unlike the Turtles and the Mutanimals, these aquatic individuals have not had the best interactions with humans and choose to go the more villainous route. Goldfin is a two-foot-tall mutant goldfish who very weirdly dresses like a fisherman. He loves all things shiny, especially gold and money! Don’t let his small stature fool you. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed, razor-sharp fins and absolute ruthlessness.

    Jillian Bell as Lee the Eel: Lee the Eel is a member of the East River Three with a mouth full of fangs and is absolutely terrifying to behold. A giant snake-like creature that shocks everything she touches, Lee is also a loyal friend to the other East River Three members and plays her part in electrifying fashion. Despite her monstrous appearance, she’s really positive but not very fluent in sarcasm, and she doesn’t like being the butt of the joke, especially if the punchline is her name.

    Danny Trejo as Mustang Sally: Super strong with thick armor, the monstrous Mustang Sally is more than a seahorse with legs. Like the other East River Three members, he really wants to go back home. Sally is more motivated than ever as a soon-to-be parent simply trying to give his hundreds of babies a better life. And nothing—or no one—is going to get in the way of that.

Burns, and Jon Spaihts. Anna Foerster directed multiple episodes and serves as an executive producer. Author Kevin J. Anderson is a co-producer.
