Spoiler Alert!
Before you jump into reading these (thanks for doing that btw) here's a little bit about how I approach them. Firstly, there will be spoilers about the episodes I focus on, as well as the shows as a whole. I try to use an episode or two that really stands out to point out something broader about the series itself. I'll go through the plot of the episodes in decent detail, but I'm also assuming you've already seen it and will push past a lot of things that may not make sense if you haven't. Feedback on my writing as well as the content is always welcome!
