The Incomparable Game Show

What’s a motorway? What’s an FA Cup? When is a mall not a mall? And why do British Trivial Pursuit question-setters have their mind set on topless women? Antony Johnston once again flings nonsense at a panel of confused North Americans for your education and amusement.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure.

This time around, our teams test their knowledge of fictional characters’ epitaphs, compound word games, and award-winning books and movies that share a common word. It’s Jean MacDonald, Scott McNulty, and Liz Myles versus James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, and Tony Sindelar.

We’ve gathered two teams from the corners of the Alpha and Beta quadrants to compete in this game, where we try to guess the stupid answers Star Trek fans gave to our stupid Star Trek questions. Which team will reign supreme? The answer will surprise you.

It’s time once again to play TL;DR, the game of hasty summaries and reckless connections where two teams battle against the clock, each other, and a sometimes surprising paucity of pop culture knowledge. Will anyone ever get those elusive bonus points? The answer will shock you!

We didn’t get to play Random Pursuit at the Gallifrey One convention this year, so we got the group behind last year’s wacky installment back together virtually to play again. Will Liz go for the Prosecco? Did Deb get enough cheese and crackers? Is Jason cheating at dice? Your definition of “geography” will be changed forever!

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure.

We’ve returned to quiz our panelists on a variety of topics, including books of chronological conveyance, a panoply of people with personas, and a slew of slapped-together sci-fi and spy stories of the screen. The “J Team”—James Thomson, Jean MacDonald, and Jason Snell—match wits against the “People with E in Their Last Names Team”—Annette Wierstra, Monty Ashley, Erika Ensign.

Once more unto the breach, dear elflock, and raise the chirogymnast! Steve Lutz is back with more stupid real words and the even stupider fake definitions supplied by a bunch of confused panelists. And it’s almost baseball season, so the host is also probably drunk.

Perhaps it’s just his British charm? Perhaps it’s the rolled Rs? Somehow, Antony Johnston has once again convinced a group of North Americans to answer questions from a decades-old UK 20th Anniversary Edition of Trivial Pursuit, leading them into a sick world of cricket and boy bands. Who will hit it off the pitch for six? (Did we do that right?)
