A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• Backlash over this week's celebrity-studded, all-female, Blue Origin spaceflight
• Slim prospects for the Houston-to-Dallas bullet train getting slimmer
• A human chain moving a bookstore down the street, a single book at a time.

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Jessica Brown, co-director of Station Theater
• Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
• Ernie Manouse, co-host of Hello Houston on Houston Public Media
