Star City - S1E6 - Awl in a Sack

Hey Bobs! We just watched Star City Season 1, Episode 6 — "Awl in a Sack" — and I don't even know where to start. Donnie gave it a 9.8 and Brian a 9. This might be one of the best hours of television we've ever seen. After weeks of slow-burn tension, everything comes crashing down in the most devastating way possible. Irina's pursuit in Moscow takes a dark turn, Raskova makes some brutal decisions, and the Venus mission reaches a tragic, unforgettable climax that left us both stunned. We break down the emotional gut-punch of this episode, Sasha's incredible arc, the performances across the board, that haunting final sequence, and why this show keeps raising the bar. The tension, the music, the writing… it's all firing on every cylinder. Plus: listener mail and our thoughts on where things go from here after that ending.
