The Midnight Agency
The Midnight Agency Characters and Storylines It was 2009 when I first came up with the idea of a half-angel private investigator. I was stuck at the customer service desk while working at Kohls and had a notebook to keep me busy. This was when I figured I would write a novel. At this point, Laurel K. Hamilton and Charles de Lint were my go-to when it came to Urban Fantasy. I've always loved the supernatural and fantasy, so if a book involved dragons or creatures of the night, then I was in.

The Mandalorian season 2 left many fans very satisfied and emotional. Given what happened in the finale, a big moment that feels very much like it could have been an end of an entire series type moment, fans were at first scratching their heads, wondering what was next for the storyline, if it was indeed continuing.

Star Wars fans were recently treated to a climactic finale to The Mandalorian season 2. After waiting to receive an answer as to whether or not Grogu would be trained, and by whom, viewers were given that answer and more.

Those that saw the post-credit stinger at the end of the episode got to see a hint of what is to come: a return to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine where a bloated Bib Fortuna sat where Jabba once did.

Start of Transcript: Introduction: Hello and welcome once again to the 1950s science fiction podcast, hosted by me, Edward Geman. I have been a longtime sci-fi fan of the 50s b-movies, like the one I discussed in my last podcast. However, in this episode of the show, I will turn my attention to sci-fi TV. But first, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to listen to my show and, I hope that you have enjoyed the program so far. I now have over 300 plays since I first started in late August of this year. And it has been quite a year not only for me and the rest of the world as well. It is nearing the end of the year, and we are still in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. The crisis, expected to continue in the following year, has in itself been like something out of sci-fi but not as intense. I hope that it will be over soon and we can get back to a normal state of affairs.
