Netflix Reincarnated Avatar the Last Airbender – Episode 34 – The Polymath Roundtable

Published May 19, 2020 by Father Polymath

In the world of animated TV, few shows are quite as treasured in the US as Avatar: The Last Airbender which is back on Netflix now! Its a brilliant show but has a lot of troubles because of the pagan roots of the world. Be aware of that, you probably don’t want to blindly let your young children watch this without being ready to discuss Asian spirituality and reincarnation beliefs and why we as Christians believe differently.

I rate the story an 8/10 but the pagan elements force me to rate it as whole a 5/10 max.

Dial Stargate Command – The Polymath Roundtable – Episode 30

Published May 5, 2020 by Father Polymath

Episode 30!!! I never would have guessed that I would make it this far when I started last summer!

From classic action TV shows to the far reaches of the galaxy, Richard Dean Anderson leaps from the days of swiss army knife fixes to walking on far worlds. Stargate SG-1 is a brilliant sci-fi television drama with a huge amount of philosophical discussion.

8/10, minor sexual content in just a couple episodes across 10 seasons. Not suitable for kids based on stressful situations and awkward philosophy that is not presented in the light of Christianity requiring more intensive thought and processing. Also creepy parasites.

The Polymath Roundtable – Episode 18 – Star Trek Picard Part 1

Published February 22, 2020 by Father Polymath

Today we start a brand new series of podcasts, a weekly breakdown of the new Star Trek series on CBS, Picard. This will be posted as close as feasible to Thursday each week when the new episode airs, and will discuss the series on a 2 week delay so as not to spoil it for people watching live.

In short, the new episode features many of the usual offenders when it comes to speculative fiction in an atheist world setting, with the new addition of a plot designed to make the creation of life a human achievement via advanced AI. Not recommended for younger individuals due to obscured lines between good and evil and morally ambiguous.
