137: Lost in the Memes Mine

The Sword of Summer, ch. 47 to 52 This week on Unwise Girls ... are you ready to try and fit themes in a goat? How many can YOU fit in there? My record is seven. We talk about the subdued charm and cruelty of Thor, the illusion of Doctor Who, Arrow lore, Giant piss drafts, toeing the line on exploitation, getting hollowed out, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, how Sam tries to excel within traditional societal structures, the lowering (yay!) stakes of Ragnarok, how the Norse Gods' predestined linear history contrasts with repeating cycles, and distinguishing the systems we call 'magic'.
