<p>Original broadcast date December 30, 2021. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2021/12/binary-system-podcast-296-lore-olympus-and-the-hawkeye-season-finale/</p> <p>It's the last episode of 2021! Here's hoping 2022 behaves itself a little better.</p> <p>This week we recap one of the last few Lore Olympus episodes before their four-month hiatus, where Zeus is playing dumb, Ares is poking the bear, and Demeter is going to lose her frigging mind.</p> <p>After that (Spoiler warning!) we fangirl all over the season finale of Hawkeye: the elevator scene! The hallway fight! The arrows! The LARPers! The owl!!</p> <p>But first up in the weekly SitRep we discuss how we had a lovely Christmas Eve with our family. And two trips to the ER.</p> <p>As many people have said before, "We're staying up till midnight on New Year's Eve. Not to see the new year in, but to make sure the old one leaves."</p> <p>Happy New Year!</p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/eaters/dead-seconds/dead-seconds" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Dead Seconds</a> by Eaters.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/animal-news/rocky-tiny-owl-was-rescued-rockefeller-center-christmas-tree-takes-n1248948" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here's an article about Rocky,</a> the owl rescued in the Rockefeller Tree. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/animal-news/rocky-tiny-owl-was-rescued-rockefeller-center-christmas-tree-takes-n1248948</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
