Reviews
Yochanan: Avenue 5 (Amazon) different comedy. A space liner goes off course. Hugh Laurie plays The "Captain". Also has Ethan Phillips (from Voyager) There's two seasons (but doesn't conclude). Rick: Armando Ianucci script – sharp dialogue and dark humor.
Rick: Constellation (Apple TV+) finished up its first (8 eps) season in a satisfying if enigmatic way. This is a series with very strong acting, a very SFnal premise that gradually unfolds involving astronauts, and something of a psychological horror recurring theme. Worth your time; not known whether it will be renewed.
Gerald: NorwesCon. First time in a while. Well organized. Everything seemed to go well. Hotel elevators were fixed before the con. DaveC/Cargo Cult sold some of his books. There were some hybrid meetings. If invited again, would probably go. Galye: a lot of very smart people there giving interesting talks on space travel and other things. Gearld & DaveG gave a eulogy for Adrienne Gormley.
JohnO: Saw Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire. Really enjoyed it (small theatre, standard). Fun ride, not deep. Some emotional punching at the end. Worth full price (maybe XD). Yochanan: A little disappointed. Really liked Afterlife. Lot of fan-service and callbacks (including original cast-members). Too many plots watering down the story. Some missed opportunities. Worth matinee. (C+)
Rumor of the Week: Who you gonna call? BASFA!
