Yochanan announced that Meatloaf & Louie Anderson both died last week
REVIEWS:
Rick reviewed 'Raised by Wolves' on HBO Max as he thinks it is worth people's time so far. It's a 'greatest hits of Ridley Scott hard-SF tropes' and is about to start season 2. Rick thinks it is intriguing, well acted & may ultimately prove disappointing. Yochanan thinks it is very unusual & he enjoyed it
for more info check = "Raised by Wolves" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_by_Wolves_(American_TV_series)
John O reviewed 'Matrix Resurrections' as it's very pretty & exciting but left him with the feeling that they didn't need to make the movie & rates it as 'wait for cable'. Atheus saw it & thinks it was okay
Gayle reviewed Star Trek reruns as they are currently watching 'Voyager' & Gerry likes the theme song. She also reviewed several episodes of 'Star Trek Enterprise' as the show is very much a shoot-em-up
Yochanan reviewed a book called 'The Replacement Chronicles' by Harper Swan, as it's a trilogy released in one book. He wanted to really like it & found it interesting but is not that good, with no time travel at all;
And he reviewed 'Star Trek Protege' on Paramount Plus as being aimed at younger people and it starts out a little rough but later episodes are absolutely amazing. John O very much agrees
Fred reviewed an exhibit in the California Museum of Oakland as he thinks it was worth his time & the travel done. He says it will be there until February 27. Atheus has also seen it and enjoyed it a lot, mentioning is BART-able and worth full price

we adjourned at 8:36 pm
and the rumor of the week was = 'Good-bye Eddie (Meatloaf)'
