Season finale will be in three days. & Rick reviewed season 3 thus far of 'Resident Alien' on the Syfy Channel as he found himself enjoying the series, despite it being a sitcom. He likes Alan Tudyk as an alien very out of place in a picturesque small Colorado town. Worth your time. & Rick reviewed 'Constellation', on Apple TV+, as almost done with its first season. The suspense / psychological thriller / SF plot is pretty easy to figure out, but still engrossing. Ken reviewed 'Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox', seen at Cinequest, as amazing. It's a comedy about a scientist who invents a time machine and decides to test the paradox of going back one minute and killing his younger self. He enjoyed it & hopes it gets a distributor; see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14531116/ Yochanan reviewed the 3 episodes of 'The Time Traveling Bong', seen on Amazon as he cannot really recommend it, but he watched it. For more info check = https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Time-Traveling-Bong/0MW3FVPZLIUL7B766SXHZG201C & he reviewed 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' as pretty good, especially for a spin-off. He enjoyed it quite a lot & is glad that it looks as though it has been picked up for renewal. Highly recommended. Craig reviewed going to a symphony at Davies Symphony Hall as it was amazing & highly recommended for more info check = https://www.ticketsales.com/davies-symphony-hall-tickets/venue?msclkid=6540d204e7d612bed603b7fde0a12fa9 and the rumor of the week was = 'Beware the Kalends of April.
