Lisa reviewed the latest episode of Dr Who as very satisfying & was a history show again

Alex reviewed Disneyworld's new Pandora section as done really well & it's worth seeing

Vikas reviewed the astronomy talk at the Uproar Brewing Company as good & the next one will be in January - for info check https://astronomyontap.org/2018/01/aot-south-bay-wednesday-january-31st-uproar-brewing-company/
