"First of all, I’m just gobsmacked by James," says Jennings, the all-time Jeopardy! champ, of Holzhauer, who is approaching his all-time winnings total. "It's absolutely insane what he's doing. Like, I thought I had seen everything on Jeopardy!. And this is something I would have thought was just impossible, these numbers. Statistically, he’s playing at as high a level as anyone who’s ever played the game. And then he’s got these incredibly confident wagers. He’s maximizing money. He can make two or three times what any other player ever has with that same level of play, which again is top shelf. He’s as good as anybody. I’ve always wanted to see somebody play that way, you know? I remember as a kid doing the math and figuring out how much somebody could win on Jeopardy!, if they got every question, and got all the Daily Doubles last, and they bet everything on them. Like, wow, look at that number. Did I actually think we would see someone try that? No, I would not." Jennings adds: "As a fan of the show, I’m actually rooting for James or anybody who can take a swing at that record." ALSO: Holzhauer says he'd love to have a "head-to-head deathmatch" with Jennings.

"It's a delight and a privilege. It's fun to explore nooks and crannies of the universe that people haven't fully explored yet. That being said, we felt strongly that we wanted to give ourselves an entirely new energy for season three with a whole new set of problems. We're farther than any Trek show has ever gone. I also had experience working on the (J.J. Abrams) films where we were stuck with canonical problems...We're now completely free of canon, and we have a whole new universe to explore." Kurtzman adds: "That finale was the sum total of months of work between writing it and conceptualizing it production-wise. It's the biggest thing we've ever done. We all felt like we were so excited about what we were doing that everybody just brought one hundred percent every day. It was really satisfying."

Because I’ve done the same thing. My grief was echoed in their grief, creating a cycle of mourning. Back and forth, over and over. I’m still feeling it, even now. They never leave you."

Mark Proksch's Colin Robinson character has given the FX series an unexpected boost as "a walking nightmare in horn-rims and cardigan sweaters," says Cheryl Eddy. "The other vampires we’ve met so far on FX’s What We Do in the Shadows are all fairly traditional—they have fangs, wear ornate velvet outfits, drink blood, turn into bats, sleep in coffins, etc. But Colin, who presents as a studiously bland middle-aged man, is a 'daywalker' who feeds on frustration—something he’s incredibly skilled at amplifying everywhere he goes. That’s why he works in a nondescript office where he’s able to feed just by poking his head over cubicle walls and shooting the sh*t, and why he delights in taking the podium at local government meetings, holding everyone hostage with his drawn-out views on zoning ordinances."
