In the first scene of Gen V, Prime Video’s new spinoff of The Boys, we travel back to eight years ago: the day A-Train was announced as the first Black member of the Seven. To the other Black viewers watching from home, including the idealistic Moreau family, it was a huge moment: a sign that progress was possible, that things really were changing, and that maybe anybody could become a hero if they wanted it bad enough.

It turns out the main purpose of the scene is to establish Marie Moreau’s tragic past: She didn’t realize she had superhuman abilities until she was 12, when she got her period one day and found her menstrual blood floating in front of her face. With years of practice, she’ll learn to control those powers and become a skilled blood bender. But in this first appearance, she’s entirely at mercy to them. When her mother comes to check on her, Marie’s shock, horror, and embarrassment manifest as a jet of blood blasting at the door with the sharpness of a razor blade; it kills her mom, and a second blast kills her father, too.

Besides the information this opening scene conveys, though, it also gives us a pretty good idea of what this spinoff will entail. For one, we’re due for more cameos from the parent series (later proven with a cheeky credits appearance from Colby Minifie as Vought CEO Ashley Barrett). The main cast of Gen V may comprise entirely of new original characters, but the story is firmly rooted in the world of The Boys. While that show focuses on the most famous supes in America — and the relatively anonymous resistance group determined to expose and destroy them — this one gives us a more direct on-the-ground perspective. We see how the rest of the country thinks about supes.

Marie (Jaz Sinclair) is a bit like Marvin’s daughter from the original show: She worships the Seven and desperately wants to be a member herself, totally buying into all of Vought International’s messaging about heroism and prioritizing representation in a “post-racism world.” But if you’ve watched The Boys, you know from the beginning that the popular conception of supes is based on a lie. In this familiar but heightened version of America, superheroes are a tool of capitalism wielded by the nefarious corporation at the top, hired less to save lives than to bring in cash. Thanks to clever PR work, that lie gets swept under the rug. So does the violence that goes into maintaining it every day.

Annie January, a.k.a. Starlight, came to learn these tough truths the first day she was inducted into the Seven, and her character arc in general has emphasized that journey of disillusionment. But Marie, newly accepted to the superhero school Godolkin University after years spent at the Red River Institute (the group home for supes where new VP nominee Victoria Neuman grew up, as we learned in season three of The Boys), is further from the source. Her initial days here are already beginning to clue her into the fact that everything is not as it seems, but she doesn’t know the half of it yet.

What Marie does know is that any place must be better than Red River, where most young supes are destined to get hauled off to the Vought adult facility one day. This place looks downright idyllic in comparison: Sure, there’s a curfew, but it’s a hell of a lot more freedom than she’s used to. It’s basically an R-rated college version of Sky High: lit bongs floating through the air, horny 18-year-olds groping each other Herogasm-style, and an invisible RA patrolling the dorms.

We’re slowly introduced to the other students who will round out our main cast. There’s Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), Marie’s fame-hungry roommate who regularly shrinks down to half an inch for her popular but low-brow YouTube show, “Fun Sized with Little Cricket.” (She describes it as “PewDiePie without the Nazi stuff.”) They also encounter Luke “Golden Boy” Riordan (Patrick Schwarzenegger), a pyrokinetic who’s ranked first at Godolkin and aspires to be “bigger than Homelander”; his mind-controlling girlfriend Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips); and his charming metal-bender best friend, Andre Anderson (Chance Perdomo).

When Marie visits the Lamplighter School of Crimefighting to inquire about her schedule, she meets Jordan Li (Derek Luh and London Thor), a gender-shifter who seemingly uses he, she, and they pronouns based on whatever form they’re inhabiting. Jordan works as a TA to Richard “Rich Brink” Brinkerhoff (Clancy Brown), a popular professor who also chairs the Crimefighting Department. They’re also ranked number two, though their “confusing” gender identity will likely keep the trustees from letting them reach the top spot.

Despite Marie’s sucking up to Brink, whose superhero self-help book makes him one of her longtime heroes, her lack of name recognition dooms her chances of majoring in crimefighting. For the students here, this is the reality: You either earn your way to chosen-one status and score one of the five coveted city contracts, or you channel your abilities into the performing arts and help Vought make money. Emma, who routinely gets hate mail when she isn’t being fetishized for her tiny size, feels like the clearest example so far of Godolkin’s failed promises.

Gen V is coming at capitalism from many of the same angles as its parent show, but I’m most interested in the satire that this new setting could afford. There’s a heavy emphasis on the “influencer” angle here, which feels fitting as long as the show doesn’t overdo it. And the villains, especially Brink, are like lower-level managers, bureaucrats who work hard to keep an inherently unjust system in place.

After an invitation to spend the night out with the popular squad — Luke, Cate, Andre, and Jordan — Marie does molly and makes a surprising connection with Luke, who lost his brother. He urges her to remember that “being a hero is not what you think.” Sure enough, the night goes horribly wrong when Andre attempts a coin trick to impress a woman at the club and accidentally cuts open an innocent woman’s neck. Luckily, Marie manages to save the day. It’s a pretty cool moment when she telekinetically funnels the blood back into the woman’s body, flashing back to her own trauma and producing a different outcome this time.

We’re led to assume this is the viral moment that will finally grant her admittance into crime fighting. And Brink’s monologue about how heroism requires sacrifice sounds reasonable at first. But then it becomes clear that the lesson is self-serving; Brink is more interested in using Marie to cover up the crimes of the other young hopefuls who were there and could be held responsible (especially after fleeing the scene of the crime). She’s blamed for the throat-slitting and promptly expelled, left to dwell on the worst moment of her life: when her sister walked into that blood-soaked bathroom eight years ago and called her a monster.

But everyone’s fortunes change in the final few minutes of “God U” when Luke confronts Brink — the mentor who has spent years grooming him for the Seven — and gives him the fiery hug of death, cutting short the life of our chief antagonist. Golden Boy himself dies, too, after Andre talks him down from his rage, and Luke decides he’d be better off dead. I appreciate his courtesy in taking to the sky to minimize the damage of his self-explosion, but couldn’t he at least fly somewhere else so his friends don’t get splattered with blood and guts?

It’s hard to know what to think of these final developments yet. I actually felt a little relieved by the death of Golden Boy, just because I’m not super interested in another Homelander clone, but killing off Brink seems premature. Gen V is setting up a lot of mysteries and conspiracies here, and I expect the plot to only ramp up in the episodes to come. But I do hope it remembers to slow down occasionally and remind us what this all means for the characters involved. In the end, this is still a show about young adults, who tend to be just as interested in their own personal lives as they are in saving the world. Sky High, for all its cheesy moments, understood that.

• Cast-wise, everyone here seems pretty good, though nobody in particular really impressed me besides maybe Chance Perdomo. He was ridiculously charismatic in the one season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina I watched, and he’s playing a similar character here. Also fun to see him reunite with Jaz Sinclair from that show.

• The orientation video for Godolkin is classic The Boys satire, with Dean Indira Shetty (Shelley Conn), promising that the school will “accept you as the unique, culturally rich change agent that you are.”

• And lots of dick humor, which makes sense. I didn’t even notice the visual of Jordan punching Luke in his famous fire dick until my second watch.

• Luke keeps having visions of his dead brother Sam in the woods calling for help, which he later mentions to Marie in a moment of delirium, and we also hear a supe on meth begging not to be sent back to the woods. Something to keep an eye on.

• I like the touch that Jordan switches to girl form for the free drinks.

• The high-def penis in Emma’s graphic sex scene is shocking, for sure, but it might still pale in comparison to Termite’s scene from The Boys. But I’m intrigued by the gnarly bulimia angle of Emma’s shrinking abilities relying on vomiting.

• “Those blood powers of yours, they’re a non-starter in middle America. There’s no four-quadrant appeal there.”

The post ‘Gen V’ Recap, Season 1, Episode 1: God U appeared first on Minds Valley.

Shepherdstown resident David Rampy gives a brief preview of what his course, “Bel Canto Opera: Rossini, Donizetti & Bellini,” will focus on this fall, in the Robert C. Byrd Center auditorium on Tuesday night. Tabitha Johnston

SHEPHERDSTOWN — On Tuesday evening, Lifelong Learning held its course preview for the coming season in the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History & Education auditorium.

Lifelong Learning Director Karen Rice opened the course preview up, noting the wide variety of courses being mainly offered at Shepherd University and in a hybrid mode, on Zoom, for older community members.

“Welcome to tonight’s course preview fo the fall semester of Lifelong Learning,” Rice said. “I’m excited to see you all here!”

Some of the courses offered this fall will meet for a number of weeks, like will be the case with Marty Amerikaner’s course, “Deep Dives – Podcasts as a Vehicle for Long Form Exploration of Ideas and Issues.”

“I am teaching a course on Thursday afternoons at 1:30 p.m,” Amerikaner said. “I have been leading ‘Deep Dives’ for a while now. The premise is very simple. We listen to a podcast together. Usually I’ll stop at least once in the middle of it, so we can discuss thoughts about its contents so far. Then, we’ll do a more thorough discussion about it at the end.

“The main criteria for the podcast choices, is that the host is skilled at what they’re doing — they know how to bring out the expertise of the guests and can contribute valuable information themselves,” Amerikaner said. “We’ve done one on the history of comedy. We’ve done one on the psychology of wellbeing. We’ve done one on the history of Supreme Court decisions that was really interesting — we’ll probably do one or two of those this semester. Another we’ll probably bring back is one on poetry, which was really popular last year. It should be a fun ride!”

“Mindfulness and Meditation: Strategies for Living in Uncertain Times” instructor Michael Kemp said his course would be developed from his own 60 years of research into mindfulness and meditation practices, as well as being enriched by the knowledge of course attendees who have experience in either of these areas.

“It is my intention that, for those of you who have been practicing either of these techniques, to give input themselves into the course,” Kemp said. “We will delve into the practice of meditation and how it came to the West. Through this, we can delve into the crisis that are facing us every day — sometimes they can feel like an elephant sitting on our shoulders and weighing us down! Mindfulness and meditation can help us to deal with these and other challenges in our lives.”

Along with these and many other courses, the preview highlighted a variety of other Lifelong Learning-related events being held in the near future, including interest groups, such as the Photography Interest Group, Sherlock Holmes Society and Opera Interest Group; international trips to Spain and Costa Rica; day tours to Hillwood Estate and Glenstone Museum; the Shepherd University President’s Lecture Series; the Shepherdstown Film Society fall movie series; Brown Bag Luncheons with special speakers; FASTEnER Lab courses on subjects such as mig welding and creating decorative cutting boards; and a two-week seminar with Appalachian Heritage Writer-in-Residence Director Sylvia Shurbutt on “2023 One Book One West Virginia Common Read Author Ann Pancake.”

“As I’ve said many times, the best students I’ve ever had are the Lifelong Learning students! They always raise the level of our classes,” Shurbutt said. “This class will be dealing with our common reading book author. Ann Pancake is such an extraordinary writer! She is probably the most brilliant writer we’ve had.”

Every second counts.

That mantra appears more than once in Season 2 of The Bear. At first, the words feel like a straitjacket.

After all, mistakes in a fast-paced kitchen can spell doom. Tickets pile up, dishes go cold, tempers rage. In that context, “every second counts” sets an unforgiving expectation.

When the bombastic Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) spots the saying on the wall of the fine dining restaurant where he’s meant to stage for the week, his resentment toward the temporary assignment — and the mantra — is palpable.

But the episode “Forks” is a revelation for Richie and viewers. Somehow, by the end, Richie’s anger and self-doubt are transformed by the simple, but not easy, act of being present in every moment. As Richie ultimately learns, thanks to a brilliant cameo by Olivia Colman, every second counts not because it demands perfection, but because it is a chance to be fully alive.

5 burning questions we have after ‘The Bear’s Season 2 finale

In those moments of intentional, nonjudgmental awareness, where we’re not clinging to or pushing away thoughts and feelings, we come to know our humanity more deeply.

That sense of awareness is mindfulness at its most basic. While that word is never spoken in the show, the theme sneaks into The Bear’s second season again and again.

Pausing amid chaos to heal

It’s a surprising evolution of the first season, which grappled with loss and grief. Chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is trying to find his way forward after losing his brother, Michael, to suicide and inheriting the restaurant, the Original Beef of Chicagoland, that Michael lovingly but haphazardly ran.

The Bear’s initial take on the ways people adapt to disorder and trauma suggested that chosen family can deliver people from darkness, however imperfectly. Save Carmy’s participation in Al-Anon meetings, the show’s characters don’t pursue any formal kind of healing, like therapy. Instead, characters follow the arc of their emotions, no matter how wildly they swing between extremes. Cousin, uncle, sister, chef, Fak (Matty Matheson) — they can be counted on to help collect pieces of the wreckage when things fall apart.

But that’s simply not enough in this season of The Bear, which makes the case that the awareness gained by pausing to register one’s emotions is the first step toward healing dysfunction. That pause can also disarm the stories people tell themselves about who they are, for better or worse.

First there are deliberate, meaningful pauses that allow a character to revel in their joy. Line cook Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) does exactly that upon learning that she’s becoming sous chef. Her face registers the emotional triumph; for so long she’s felt invisible, but she always believed in her own worth, and now Carmy and chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) do, too.

When Richie finally understands his own purpose, after a difficult week of staging, he gleefully barrels down a Chicago street with his daughter’s favorite Taylor Swift song blasting in the car. Uncharacteristically, he’s enlivened, not burdened, by what he feels. The story Richie is accustomed to telling about himself — that he’s a screw-up who’s “ancillary” — holds far less power now.

But pauses also come in the heat of an argument. More than once, Carmy hesitates as his frustration mounts. Prone to letting his relentless fear of failure overshadow his tenderness, Carmy apologizes by using a sign language gesture of rubbing his fist over his heart to say sorry. It’s worth noting that his apologies are directed toward Sydney, a Black woman. Rare is the television show that depicts a white man unequivocally acknowledging his error to a Black woman, treating her as an equal.

Still, it’s not all flashes of growth and maturity. The characters continue to find themselves in hellish moments of chaos that punctuated Season 1.

In these scenes, people harm each other when they’re overcome by emotion and can’t pause before negative feelings become regrettable actions. The Christmas episode “Fishes,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Carmy’s volatile mother, Donna, is an hourlong depiction of the suffering people endure when mindfulness is out of their reach. The chaos that envelops the Berzatto family is a reminder that no matter how hard each character strives to adapt to the dysfunction, even thriving in it at times, there’s no escaping its suffocating grip.

In many ways, this is where viewers find Carmy at the season’s end: stuck. He’s not at home, coping with his mother’s excessive drinking, but trapped in the walk-in fridge of a transformed Original Beef on its first night of serving diners a “thoughtful” chaos menu.

Carmy can’t help but lay into himself for neglecting to get the walk-in fridge door fixed. Now he’s forced to await a rescue while his team plows ahead without him. He blames the distraction of being in a new relationship.

“No amount of good is worth how terrible this feels,” he laments, not realizing that his girlfriend, Claire, (Molly Gordon) is listening.

Then an exchange with Richie, who questions Carmy about why Claire fled the kitchen in tears, erupts into an impulsive, devastating fight that could threaten their lifelong friendship.

There is no one to take stock of the wreckage but a distraught Carmy. The ending raises the question of what he can do in Season 3 to repair any of the harm he’s caused.

The skill of equanimity

It’s hard to imagine Carmy taking up a formal mindfulness or meditation practice, but if he were to do so, one place to start would be a track called “Welcome to the Party” by the meditation teacher Jeff Warren(opens in a new tab).

Warren prefers to think of mindfulness as one way to talk about a larger human “capacity for living for more awareness.” This ability, he notes, doesn’t belong to any single tradition or philosophy.

His guided meditation puts a unique spin on the traditional approach to what’s known as equanimity. In Buddhism, equanimity is the skill of non-interference, which Warren describes as a natural human capacity that helps us remain poised when beset with uncomfortable emotions. This can mean not pushing away feelings like anger, fear, disappointment, or self-loathing. (One can also exercise equanimity by not clinging to positive feelings, like joy, pleasure, and love.)

In “Welcome to the Party,” Warren instructs listeners to play the “affable” host, greeting each emotion with an accepting attitude. This is far harder than it might seem, because people are typically conditioned to fight, block, or suppress discomfort.

Imagine Carmy in the walk-in. Alone, with only his terrifying thoughts and feelings, he fights what he’s experiencing by making binary declarations about his character, free of any self-compassion. He reacts to what’s happening, rather than taking the time to pause and respond.

“When people say let go, welcome, it means can I put down my defenses and just let myself feel what I’m feeling here,” says Warren, who plans to watch but hasn’t seen The Bear yet. “It’s very brave, and most of us don’t know how to do that. It takes practice.”

Many of the characters in Season 2 do just that — let themselves feel without lashing out.

When a person needs chaos to make them feel alive, as characters in The Bear do, Warren says they often can’t experience contentment when things are calm or settled. Still, there is a bittersweetness to watching the show’s characters make incremental peace with surrendering the part of their identities that became so adept at navigating chaos.

What they learn instead is that intentional pauses that lead to heightened awareness can create a refuge — and an opportunity to deeply feel what’s happening in their lives. It seems contradictory, especially because mindfulness and meditation are caricatured as practices for becoming emotionally neutral.

But this is far from the case, says Warren. When emotions aren’t being buried or left to fester, the only option is to fully feel them.

“It’ll be more raw and real than anything you can imagine,” Warren says, noting that cultivating equanimity means you’re less at the mercy of intense emotions. “Feel more, suffer less, is how I describe it, and how a lot of people describe it.”

As for Carmy’s mistakes, a mindfulness practice wouldn’t prescribe shame or judgment as a corrective measure. Instead, it would prompt self-compassion and forgiveness, without obsessing over failure that only steals precious time away from making things right.

“It’ll be more raw and real than anything you can imagine.”
– Jeff Warren, meditation teacher

“Inevitably, you will do that,” says Warren of inflicting pain on one’s self or someone else. When that happens, he notes that the skills of mindfulness can still help people recover faster, apologize, and repair the harm.

If viewers are lucky, Season 3 will let them witness Carmy make that journey.

There’s no indication that The Bear creator Christopher Storer intended to make mindfulness a central theme of the second season. He doesn’t seem to have commented publicly on having his own mindfulness or meditation practice. But he and the show’s writers have done something impressive, and invaluable, by showing the good that pauses and awareness can bring, and what risks being destroyed when emotions rule us.

On a show like The Bear, which seems determined to authentically reflect the gifts and trials of being human, every second does indeed count.

The post ‘The Bear’ Season 2 has a surprising take on mindfulness appeared first on Minds Valley.

Welcome to our Yellowjackets Sting Meter. We’ll measure the erratic, unexplainable behavior of the show’s main lineup, ranking them according to how dangerous, deadly, and certifiably insane they appear in each episode. Who’s just a whacky worker bee and who gets crowned Mad Queen of episode seven’s “Burial”? Let’s find out.

The brakes have blown. The rails are gone. And Yellowjackets is just careening wildly into a hallucinatory hellscape filled with jazz numbers, teenage fight clubs, and baby goats named Bruce. We couldn’t be happier.

After the devastating finale of episode six, the show returns this week with some light-hearted fare (still of the f*cked-up variety). As the snow begins to thaw and the girls emerge from the tragedy of Shauna’s stillbirth, new tensions arise within the group and one team member looks to end it all. In the present, a bit of forced self-care brings deep-buried issues to the surface and delivers a shocking twist we probably should’ve seen coming.

Episode seven’s “Burial” is asking all kinds of disturbing, self-reflective questions of our favorite cannibals — and there’s not a mudbath in sight.

Queen Bee – Misty Quigley

Showtime

Misty Quigley has officially lost it. She may have never had it. But if she did, it’s gone now. And by it, we mean her sanity. When we chatted with Sam Hanratty about the show’s curly-haired wildcard, the actress revealed that the loss of Crystal (Nuha Jes Izman) would send her spiraling to new depths, and in episode seven’s “Burial,” we’re beginning to once again catch glimpses of the power-hungry teen so desperate for attention, she destroyed her team’s only chance of being rescued back in season one. In the past, Misty is covering up her tracks, faking concern for her dead bestie so that the other girls don’t suspect her of foul play. She does a good thing in the process by convincing Coach Ben to hobble away from the cliff’s edge, but does saving one life serve as penance for taking another? (At least she kept those flesh-eating mean girls from snacking on another girl’s bones.)

In the present, try as she might to escape the water coffin designed to penetrate her damaged psyche, Misty ends up floating through a bird core song and dance routine that might just be the whackiest thing we’ve seen on this show. John Cameron Mitchell singing rag-time tunes in a giant Parrot costume accompanied by a top-hat-wearing Elijah Wood? We’ll have whatever psychedelics the writer’s room was dosing with when they penned this beautiful monstrosity.

Ralph Ordaz

Shauna

Showtime

All of the Yellowjackets need therapy, but no one needs it more than our favorite mini-van murdering mom, Shauna Shipman. The loss of her baby has finally hit her — in the past and in the present — and as it often does, grief twists her into a warped, angry shell of the person she used to be. She unleashes some of her anger on her teammates, beating Lottie to a pulp while the rest of the girls look on, shocked and terrified. In the present, despite dismembering a human being just a few episodes ago, Adult Shauna is having an existential crisis over the idea of killing a baby goat. No one’s told her she’ll have to slit Bruce’s furry little throat, but she agonizes over the possibility all the same until finally coming to the realization that yes, losing a baby so young and so tragically has actually stunted her emotional development and erected a barrier in her relationships with her husband and daughter. Maybe this whole “self-care” thing works after all?

Lottie

Showtime

We’re sorry to say this, but Lottie Matthews is a hot mess. In the past, she’s sacrificing her face to Shauna’s fist – for the wilderness we guess? — despite knowing that she won’t be receiving any medical attention (or anti-inflammatories) after the fact. In the present, she’s been having conversations with her imaginary therapist and basing her entire approach to her glaring mental health issues on advice from her own hallucination. Girl, leave the self-help Goop-ing to Gwyneth Paltrow and go see a professional.

Ralph Ordaz

Coach Ben

Showtime

Ben is disassociating so much that even his hallucinations are like, “Bro, wake up.” And things only get worse when he has to be talked off a cliff – literally – by the child who tried to roofie him into not being gay. Maybe we should just let Ben end it all.

Ralph Ordaz

Van

Showtime

Van has lost belief – in Lottie, in the mysticism of the wilderness, in herself. She’s convinced Tai there’s a purpose in all of this and misplaced that same ideology in the process. In the present, she’s foraging herself a bottle of liquor and revealing a terminal cancer diagnosis before making out with her married high school sweetheart. Van’s not crazy, she’s just depressed.

Taissa

Showtime

Without her sleepwalking alter-ego to stir up some chaos, Tai’s been fairly low-key in both the past and the present. She’s trying to keep everyone’s spirits up, to be a pillar of support for a grieving Shauna and a deflated Van. She’s painting sheds with makeup brushes and admitting she needs help — though she won’t be getting any from Lottie’s delusional cult-leading self anytime soon. She’s sharing her feelings and encouraging others to do the same, finding belief where there isn’t any proof, and protecting the weak (read: Misty Quigley). What do we call that, people? Growth.

Ralph Ordaz

Nat

Showtime

Nat is a full-on convert of this heliotropic-simping intentional community and as happy as we are to see her mental health (supposedly) flourishing, her blind loyalty to Lottie is troubling. To say the least. What are the writers doing with Juliette Lewis this season? Somebody explain it to us.

Citizen Detective Thread

• What happened to Lottie’s actual doctor, who most definitely did not go on sabbatical?
• Is Van really sick, or is this just another way for her to put distance between herself and Tai?
• Why would Coach Ben’s hallucinations rebel against him now?
• And why the hell would he let Shauna destroy Lottie’s face like that?
