Title Card Game. The trio takes a break from "new Trek episodes reviews" to play a game. Can Phillip and Daniel guess the title of a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" story merely be looking at the episode's first image? Darren blurs the title cards from several episodes as his co-hosts try to name the right episode -- will they get it right? Will they guess every episode from an entire season? How many shots of the Enterprise-D at warp exist? All these questions and more are answered in this game.

Derek "Sanding" Young and Darren "Sanding" Moser are joined by Eric "Coregeek" Jones to talk about sanding, projects and online cosplay competitions.

Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time is a documentary nearly 40 years in the making. On Friday, November 19, it will finally be released. In this Between Takes episode, Shawn speaks with the film's co-director Robert Weide, who first approached Vonnegut about making the documentary back in 1982. They discuss Weide's friendship with Vonnegut, why it took so long to get the film to the big screen, and some of Weide's favorite memories about Vonnegut.

We go 0 to 100 real quick as we wrap up Dauntless initiation and immediately get into the overarching of the series, the Erudite-initiated war. Tris and her ability to escape simulations is pivotal, but this is when we start to see some continuity cracks. The ending is quite polarizing, but for once, we actually agree on how to respond. The romance is also doing it for us still as we finish the first book of the trilogy.

​

Next week we will be reading chapters 1-24 of book 2 in the series, Insurgent.

Grievous, Did You Know?

General Grievous’ role at the opening of Revenge of the Sith was pivotal in a number of ways, and one decision could have undone any other.
