This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (they're usually uploaded all at once). Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here (or on Twitter) to say there's something new ready to download.
Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the store page for each show (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that we expect to be uploaded for the week.
SUPERNATURAL
10x20
10x21
STAR TREK: TNG

LEGEND OF KORRA
[Note: There are NO further episodes scheduled right now, so it's likely there will be no Korra videos this week. Mark has said he will try to get to them while on tour, but they are not the top priority.]

On my blog:
*Captain's Log Weekly Digest 27: The ongoing chronicle of my Star Trek Online character, Adm. Eilonwy Nerys Morwen. This week's adventures consist mostly of alliance-building in the Delta Quadrant. (Spoilers for STO definitely, and potentially for any and all Trek.)
*Vlog Review: Steven Universe Season 1, Episodes 45-7: The build-up to the season finale. At the request of my Patreon patrons, I recorded a live reaction to this block of episodes, and then gave my vlog after that. (SU spoilers, obvs.)
*Sailor Moon Crystal Ep 25 and MLPFIM S5E12 group liveblog chat thingy: What it says on the tin. I wasn't available for this one, so the rest of the regulars put their liveblog in the comments. I'll follow up with my own some time this week probably. (Spoilers for SMC and MLP.)
*It was like... some kinda blob! (Feat of Clay): The Near-Apocalypse of '09, my episode-by-episode analysis of the DC Animated Universe, continues with the Batman the Animated Series two-parter, Feat of Clay. (Spoilers for Batman the Animated Series.)
On my Patreon:
*$2+ Patrons got a new Near-Apocalypse entry on another BTAS episode, "Walking into a trap (The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy)." (Spoilers for BTAS and Superman the Animated Series.)
*$5+ Patrons also got a vlog, on Gravity Falls S1E3. (Gravity Falls spoilers.)
*$10+ Patrons got a new option for their menu of monthly rewards, Crisis in Videoland! The Quest for the Lost City of Tetris. A complete Big Eyes, Small Mouth one-shot campaign (approximately 4-6 hours for a single play-through), this 140+ page PDF contains everything needed to play except pencils and dice, including a guide to the relevant BESM rules, character sheets for the seven player character options (Chun-Li from Street Fighter, Link from Zelda, Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney, Red from Pokemon, Samus from Metroid, Terra from Final Fantasy VI, and Zero from Mega Man X), and encounter, location, and scenario information for the GM. Set in Videoland from the classic Captain N cartoon, the game's plot changes depending on what combination of characters the players pick. (Deliberately mixes fake and real spoilers to avoid spoiling people who aren't familiar with every series it draws from.)
Also last week I wrote a pitch for an original graphic novel and submitted it to Oni Press. I'm not sharing that publicly, though.
Currently working on: panels for Connecticon, on The Slayers, Star Trek, and the DCAU. (These are three separate panels, alas.)
Anyone else going to be at CTCon?

Trigger Warning: The ableist word P******ath appears at the 0:07- 0:10 mark. Also the crowd gets really loud so watch out headphone users.
Spoiler Alert: Don't view the video unless you have played both Zero Escape 1 (9 Hours 9 persons 9 doors) and Zero Escape 2 (Virtue's Last Reward)

So I put the question out to you all: what have you been reading lately?
I'm reading am independently published book that I picked up at Oz ComicCon. It's called Key by Kylie Leane, a local girl here. It's her first novel aaaaand? It shows. I really have this desire to just red pen all over the book because it desperately needs some editing or beta work or something. But still! Girl published her first novel! Respect!

I'm thinking of starting up my verb reviews/ commentaries again (for Numb3rs, Leverage, etc.), part. as I am also playing Watch Dogs right now and was contemplating doing a verb review of it as well.
That said, I was going through the game just fine (it's not perfect, and some parts were quite irksome, but I suspected as much when I started the game) and then I reached a point where the game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm wondering when I'll get over it enough to keep playing. Is this what it means to be triggered?
rot'd for TW (un-rot to see TW) as I don't wish to spoil:

It's not much but the article also includes a decent interview with the director who has a lot of Trek pedigree.

That's right. The teaser for Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events show has premiered, and it is amazing. TW for bugs, including spiders, larve, and a very gross looking leech.
This really just captures the aesthetic and makes me super super excited. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

For those who don't know what it is, here's the trailer. It has almost all the trigger warnings Dollhouse has. Especially the consent and sexual abuse ones. (It's not glorified or excused though. But still.)
Anyone watching it? I'm really curious about your thoughts. A little commentary in the answers.

No particular theme. Just a song that you enjoy and want to share with others here.
(One song per person please!)
