SON ch 25Just when Diana was making Elizabethan London her home, someone is telling her it's best that she leaves! We meet Matthew's boss, William Cecil (nicknamed The Old Fox), and he brings with him advice for Diana; go back to Woodstock, and wait out the incoming storm. That storm has a name: Queen Elizabeth I. Instead, Matthew and Diana choose to stay and weather it with help from members of the School of Night, and Mary -- who arms Diana for battle during an epic closet raid! This is a long episode, so you know what to do. Indulge in shifts, take that extra long walk, or be covered for both ends of your commute! You choose!

Character Study - Miriam ShephardIn this episode, we turn our focus on Miriam as our character "on the tens!" We got to see her in action on the TV show, and learn more facets of her personality in Time's Convert, but in the end ... what do we exactly know about her? Hence, the title of the episode: The Enigma. Still, it's engaging to imagine what she's seen and done in her past as we look forward to learning more in the future!See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/50Join us on Patreon (as little as $2 monthly will gain you access to extra episodes + different level incentives for those who join at higher tiers!)A Discovery of Witches TV News info (Continually updated; scenes, sets, trailer video, official photographs, casting + more)Become a Discusser (contact info located there as well), or for US listeners: text ADOW to 444999Email us directly: DaemonsDiscuss@gmail.comCall & Leave a voicemail! 1 (360) 519-7836 or hit us up on SpeakPipe Our Podcast Page: DaemonsDiscuss.com Our Main S

SON ch 23Diana has just miscarried, and Matthew is a Mess™. We all examine our feelings and reactions to both characters in this episode. We also gather around with the witches to watch Diana cast her forespell! You were wondering about the episode title? Well, with this ritual a new creature emerges. How does this relate? F*cking Firedrake -- sound familiar? See what we did there? That also happens to be "the word" to get into our Facebook group. We caught ourselves trying to be clever!

ADOW S1 - The Binge!(SPOILER ALERT! Book spoilers throughout this episodes!)All Souls Discussion Group Moderator, Renee joins us from Facebook’s largest group for delving into the All Souls Trilogy, its expanding list of books, and its television show. Administered by Deborah Harkness, this group is what we consider the epicenter of the fandom's origins. Renee's daily interaction with the group allows her to share unique perspectives when it comes to parsing this story, therefore we thought she'd be a perfect fit for talking about the TV series story arc.

ADOW S1E6Matthew needs to find Diana ... and so does Baldwin. Their motivations clash in a vampiric display of will. Meanwhile, somewhere in a crumbling castle, Diana has to stave off a determined ('sadistic' is more accurate) witch from getting her secrets. Gerbert is skulking about hoping to get his own time with Diana, and this brings us to alarm because we know what he does to witches (Meridiana, anyone?)! Join us as we watch these events unravel! Also? Hello Sigasmund. From this episode on, you are no longer nameless. We shall call you "Siggie," OK?!EPISODE 6From the press release:Satu brutally tortures Diana in Gerbert’s isolated castle ruins. Matthew, now sworn to hunt down and kill anyone who tries to harm Diana, attempts a daring airborne rescue mission with Baldwin in tow, but they are too late to prevent Satu invoking dark magic in a bid to open up Diana and see the magic inside her. As Diana is forced to confront the idea that she might have been spellbound, she wonders what kind of monster she is

ADOW S1E5So much happens! Ysabeau spills the tea on Matthew's past, we get to see vampires hunting, we watch the Congregation plotting (together and against one another!), and we learn how Matthew actually feels about Diana. There's other things thrown in there like the Knights of Lazarus, mating, suicide, and schmexy science-y stuff. Our wary hearts are eventually gifted with the reunion of Matthew and Diana! And then, CLIFFHANGER!EPISODE 5From the press release:Gillian pays a heavy price for her disloyalty to Diana, but not before news that vampires are studying witch DNA reaches Knox. The fall-out threatens the fragile equilibrium between creatures and the focus is on ending Matthew and Diana’s relationship whatever the cost. Agatha treads a careful line of democracy at the Congregation, but Nathaniel continues to instigate daemon direct-action. Ysabeau relies on shock tactics to expel Diana until Matthew returns with breathtaking news about Diana’s DNA. Diana and Matthew are finally united in love, o

ADOW S1E4We meet Ysabeau, Marthe, Baldwin, and we get to see The Congregation assemble. Seriously, what could go wrong? Dinner, dancing, glaem, romance, ALL fantastic! Until Domenico shows up ... (plays suspense music right here). We're at the pivotal mid-point of the series; we laugh, swoon, rail, and wail!EPISODE 4From the press release:Matthew’s hope of keeping Diana safe at Sept-Tours appears short-lived as Ysabeau refuses to welcome the warmblood under her roof. Knox calls an emergency meeting of the Congregation to denounce Matthew for abducting a witch but Matthew’s ferocious older brother Baldwin plays a careful game to maintain control
in the face of Gerbert foretelling the end of the de Clermonts – and throws Diana to the lions. Diana isn’t the only witch facing persecution. Satu pays a shocking price for her curiosity when Knox discovers she has been searching through the Witches’ Archive and learned his guilty secret. Meanwhile, things turn nasty in Oxford for Marcus and Miriam as Juliette attacks

ADOW S1E3Well, here it is. The Old Lodge, the dinner and as Angela says, phase 1 of Operation Tenth Knot begins . . .EPISODE 3From the press release:Domenico takes information he’s extracted from Satu to menacing vampire Gerbert, who gains the advantage he has been waiting for. After sending Juliette into the world to do his bidding, Gerbert consults with Meridiana, the witch whom he keeps in thrall, but what does the prophecy she delivers mean? In Oxford, Diana refuses to help Knox realize his supremacist longing to destroy the vampires and answers his threats with such a violent force of untamed elemental power, as to set in motion a wider chain of events that bring her closer to Matthew but place her in even greater jeopardy.See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/S1E3Join us on Patreon (as little as $2 monthly will gain you access to extra episodes + different level incentives for those who join at higher tiers!)A Discovery of Witches TV News info (Continually updated; scenes, sets, trailer video, offi

ADOW S1E2Traveling further in the small-screen universe, we meet some new characters on screen: Juliette, Hamish, Domenico and Gerbert! All sorts of things seem to be happening around Matthew and Diana, and we work our way through the events, and hash out our flurry of thoughts as the characters work through their drama!EPISODE 2From the press release:Blind to the interest she has stirred among creatures, Diana fights an increasing pull towards the magical and turns her back on her witch heritage, but matters take an unexpectedly dark turn when Satu is sent by Peter Knox to intimidate her. In Venice, beautiful but murderous Juliette has her fatal obsession with Matthew reawakened. And just as Diana decides to trust Matthew with a secret only she knows about the book, he flees in a desperate bid to protect her from his cravings. But in so doing, he leaves Diana exposed to all her enemies.See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/S1E2Join us on Patreon (as little as $2 monthly will gain you access to extra epi

Diana’s determination not to be frightened by Matthew as he struggles to control his predatory instincts around her fuels a dangerous connection between the two of them. When news of the book’s appearance spreads throughout the world of daemons, vampires and witches hiding in plain sight among humans, the hunt for the witch who summoned it takes on a deadly intensity.See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/S1E1Join us on Patreon (as little as $2 monthly will gain you access to extra episodes + diffe
