Reviews
Yochanan: What We Left Behind (YouTube, and maybe other places) Documentary about Deep Space Nine. Very enjoyable. Worth full price (though, it was free). youtube.com/watch?v=Ya8WTQc93yI
Invasion (Apple+) 3 x 10 episodes. Just concluded. Slow burn show. A lot of real time, and real languages. Non-humanoid aliens, with indiscernable motives. Plot meanders on a glacial pace. Disappointing. B+ for effort, C- for execution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_(2021_TV_series)
Star Trek: Khan (audio drama on various platforms) Final episode (9 total). The story of what happenned on Ceti Alpha 5 between Space Seed and Wrath of Khan. George Takai and Time Russ are in it. Entertaining show to listen to. Worth full price – highly recommend! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Khan
Rick: The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (various services, and DVD) Bruce Campbell in a weird western, last thing shot on the WB western lot. Forward looking lawman in 1863. Tone is just under over the top. Light, action orientated, and a delight so far. Looking forward to the rest of the one season. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Brisco_County,_Jr.
Lisa saw it on first run, and liked it enough to by the DVDs (most likely from Dave Clark).
Gerald: Happened on an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. Got mixed up with Julius Caesar. Didn’t do too badly on some history. Worth the time to watch.
Rick says one does not watch it for a sense of history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena:_Warrior_Princess
Rumor of the Week: Gerald had a good rumor, but that was 20 minutes ago.
Adjourned at: 20:33
There was an auction (and candy give-a-way)
