Reviews
Yochanan = HBOMax: Raised By Wolves (Series 2) Very interesting show. Earth is thrashed, humans relocate to another world, and androids raising some kids. Season 2 continues from this premise. Excellent world-building. Ridley Scott is involved. Tripp. Highly recommend. There’s a lot of extras as well.
Discovery (S4) Really interesting. For a little bit it overlapped with Picard (almost too much Trek). Introduced a non-humanoid alien. Was let down a bit on the manufactured tension. More up than down.
Howierd = Couldn’t watch the next Picard, so watched The Ready Room (Wil Wheaton) chat show with guests like Patrick Stewart, Lea Thomson, John de Lancie, and the actress who plays the Borg queen. A little annoying that Wil is geeky fanboi despite being part of the series.
Yochanan: Agrees. Interesting show. May be a bit too hammy.
The Feed: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8005176/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Personal connection to search engines, and snippets of peoples memories (mumbles). Acting is not all that good, as is direction, writing is a bit lame.
Lisa: Went to her first PEERS since 2020. Music excellent, people excellent. It was wonderful. Masked and vaxxed. May & June sold out. Tix still avail for Sept.
Rumor of the Week: Jimmy Hoffa will be found underneath the Amazon Staten Island warehouse.
