REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed 2 Dr Who graphic novels 'The Only Good Dalek' & The Dalek Project' & rates it as worth full price
& he reviewed 'Sweet Tooth, season 2' on Netflix, 8 episodes long as very enjoyable & highly recommended. He said that there will be a 3rd season; check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Tooth_(TV_series)
& he reviewed Trevor Baxendale's novel 'Doctor Who: Deep Time' as a bit dark & the story was compelling but wrapped up too quickly
Sandra reviewed the Stanford David Rumsey Map Center as containing many very interesting maps
https://library.stanford.edu/rumsey
Robin reviewed 'That Self-Same Metal' by Britany Williams, as it takes place in the 1600's and includes historical characters, as well as original ones & is the first of a series
Lisa reviewed Brocéliande as it was fun to hear their music in concert again
Rick reviewed the series 'The Nevers' as they turned out to have done a very good job with the full series & it's worth chasing down
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nevers
& he reviewed the NBC series 'Mrs. Davis' on the Peacock streaming service, as they stuck the landing & is very darned good & highly recommended; check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Davis
The secretary reviewed 'Guardians of the Galaxy 3' as a fun movie - easily one of the best Marvel movies in several years
Gayle reviewed a Live From the Met performance of 'Don Giovanni'. She saw it in the theatre & said it had 3 wonderful baritones & 3 wonderful bass singers & was done in modern dress. She enjoyed it highly & recommends both it & the calendar of shows that are put on that way. Duncan followed, saying that if you can't find your city in their list there is a 'Met at Home' option that he recommends
check = https://www.metopera.org/season/in-cinemas/
we adjourned at 8:46pm
and the rumor of the week was = 'Hello, Dalek, I said hello, Dalek. It's so nice to have you back where you belong.'
