This is an extremely enjoyable well-written series and we had a lot of fun talking about it with V.S., aside from not\u00a0 having to do so in a truck stop with negligible internet access.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the chaos<\/p>\n<span id=\"pod_audio_1\">&nbsp;<\/span><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-9115-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast390.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast390.mp3\">http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast390.mp3<\/a><\/audio><p><a href='http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast390.mp3'>Download<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/castplayer?castfile=http:\/\/www.scifisaturdaynight.com\/podcast\/talkcast390.mp3&id=9115\" rel=\"0\" class=\"newPlayerWindow\" >Open Player in New Window<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9119\" style=\"width: 194px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9119\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9119 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Strangers-184x300.png\" alt=\"Strangers\" width=\"184\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Strangers-184x300.png 184w, http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Strangers.png 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strangers<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_9118\" style=\"width: 198px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9118\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9118 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Beamed-Up-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beamed Up\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Beamed-Up-188x300.jpg 188w, http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Beamed-Up.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beamed Up<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=9115\" data-text=\"TalkCast 390 - V.S.
