He finds the acting to be good, the plot serviceable and the dialogue mostly good, with an excellent villain - so far. Yochanan also commented to the topic, saying the show is 'interesting', but opines that show's musical theme meanders and does not grab him at all. Ken commented that 'Trek Culture' on YouTube is going into details about easter eggs in the show. see = https://www.youtube.com/@TrekCulture and see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Starfleet_Academy_(TV_series) Yochanan reviewed 'The Edge of Sleep' - a 6-episode mini-series psychological horror television miniseries that originated on YouTube as edgy and has potential see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Edge_of_Sleep_(TV_series) Yochanan also reviewed 'Anaconda' - a comedy out in theatres now - saying that it has a meandering plot that is all over the place and is not really well-written. He rates it as not worth seeing in theatres and maybe only worth streaming. He also comments that Sony is name-dropped multiple times in the movie. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(2025_film) Yochanan also reviewed a Prime series called 'Gen V', a follow-on series in the universe of 'The Boys' with 'more penises than he has seen in a long time' and a lot of violence. He found the storyline to be done very well and he liked it quite a lot - rating it worth full price. Rick enthusiastically endorses' Yochanan's opinion and comments that the humor is very dark, with over the top violence & he also recommends the show. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_V we adjourned at = 8:35 pm Rumor of the Week: 'Wheeze, gurgle, wheeze' [translation unavailable]' there were no auctions -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?'
