The Schwartz Awakens! spaceballs.fandom.com/wiki/Spaceballs_2 <http://spaceballs.fandom.com/wiki/Spaceballs_2> Reviews Yochanan: The Tempest (SVShakes) Amazing. Framed as a D&D campaign. Some gender play. Great costumes. Funding cuts made them drop the Thursday show. Free to get in, but it could cost you to get out… svshakespeare.org <http://svshakespeare.org/> Daredevil (not Born Again) (D+) Charlie Cox as Daredevil. Really enjoyed. 13 episodes x 3 seasons. Very interesting. Recommend. Muddles through season two, but worth it for season three. Best if before Daredevil Born Again. Storng plot, but character driven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(TV_series) Time: A Traveller’s Guide by Clifford A Pickover (an actual scientist). Short science-fiction stories, prefaced by a quote and Chopin music. Lots of science explaining time-travel, as a scientist is traveling back to see Chopin with his student. A bit dense, scientific. Didn’t not like it, but didn’t love it. sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/time1.htm <http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/time1.htm> Rick: The Outpost (CW/SyFy) 49 episodes. Recommended by a friend as worth watching. Featherweight fantasy (he was also a fan of Xena). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outpost_(TV_series) Rumor of the Week: A belated happy father’s day to the paternal and not so paternal BASFAns. Adjourned at: 20:44 There was not an auction
