Romance of the Two Networks Scanline Media

The networks, long divided, must unite. If Netflix is willing to drop eight figures to distribute the new Dynasty Warriors movie in the US, by god we're here to cover it. Wonder at Boy Band Guan Yu, Businessman Lu Bu, and Xuande Being Here Despite Doing Nothing. This movie is not very good. But being back with friends to talk about an amazing story? That's fantastic.

And so the kingdom, long divided, unites. No more Wu and Wei, nor Shu or Han. The Jin Dynasty rises to chart a new future for China. Or... an old future. Because, of course, this all happened a very long time ago. Villains or heroes, the figures of the Three Kingdoms live on as legends, for future generations to wonder upon. We take your questions, and then the two networks, long united, divide.

This isn't the end of the Kingdom of Shu, but we can see it from here. Wei's forces have kicked down the door, and Emperor Shan twittles his thumbs even as the blade nears his neck. Jiang Wei remains incapable of winning a meaningful victory, and Wu's forces clearly won't arrive in time to save their allies. Next week, the last episode of Three Kingdoms. It all comes down to this.

After this episode, two weeks remain until the end, and yet... there are still three kingdoms. The podcast, long united, is now divided. Jackson knows the end for sure, having read it already. Em knows the end rather generally from remembering... well, history. Six FEELS like they know the end, but the book has a habit of proving them wrong. And Jen is, wisely, taking a wait and see. This week on Two Networks: There's No Good Way To Kill An Emperor.

Deng Ai, my guy! Another Wei genius tactician arrives to foil the extremely fallible Jiang Wei. He has his work cut out for him as Wei is repeatedly invaded, suffering civil wars, coups, and more. I am afraid I also have to offer a CONTENT WARNING for GORE because there's some really messed up stuff in this involving a dude who gets very, very stressed out.

It is Sima's time, though Yi will not live to see it. Jiang Wei is a Jiang Waste of space, Sun Quan finally passes away, Cao Rui bites the dust, the bodies are droppin y'all. More pointless invasions that don't go anywhere, more politicking, and the reveal of Chekhov's Ten Arrow Bow.
