Episode 83: Midi-chlorian Prophylactics

Episode 83: Midi-chlorian Prophylactics

This week we welcome our new friend Robbie Palmer of Artful Gremlins to join us on our new episode format. This month we start doing one non Star Trek episode a month and with Star Wars Rogue One coming in December we thought we’d start with one prequel a month then talk about Rogue One in January. We will be talking other sci-fi once a month not just Star Wars. The three of us look back to our earliest memories of Star Wars and learn new things about each other. We talk about the excitement leading up to The Phantom Menace and what it ultimately disappointed us. We then discuss the expanded theory by YouTuber Lockstin / Gnoggin about how Jar Jar may have been a Sith Lord all along. It’s time to spike your tall glass of blue Bantha milk with your Liquor of choice it’s time for your monthly shot of non Trek Sci-fi!

Episode 82: Jeff and the Devil in the Dark

Episode 82: Jeff and the Devil in the Dark

This week Jeff Hulit from The Tricorder Transmissions Podcast (http://www.thetricordertransmissions.com/) joins us to talk his favorite Star Trek Episode Devil in the Dark. I think the Horta kidnaped Aaron, Fayth, and Guy this week as it is just David and Jeff this week. Before we get into the episode we talk the news of Star Trek Discovery being pushed back from January to May. We then have a great time getting into the episode and Jeff admits something here that he’s never admitted on a podcast before. David drops some Synthaholics news right in the middle of the episode during one of the many wonderful rabbit holes that are dove into throughout the course of this discussion. We hope you have a beverage that can support silicon life to use as a bargaining chip for your life! Because it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 81: Trek 50 at Buffalo Comic Con

Episode 81: Trek 50 at Buffalo Comic Con

Last weekend David was at the Buffalo Comic Con talking to people about Star Trek. We got interviews from various people who were at the con that had an interest in Star Trek. He also met a podcast at the convention called Couldn’t Be Models  (https://www.facebook.com/couldntbemodels/) and Pete Herr from a local all geek news and review website The Geekiverse (https://thegeekiverse.com/). You’ll also hear a familiar voice as David runs into Jeffery who joined us on our episode about Balance of Terror. You’ll also hear from Jesse AKA Frosted Fricks (Check out his You Tube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSsGh7Z-jr_WYMxIc0MrtMw) and many others. David mostly asked them about their first experience with star trek since this is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek! Try to find a green beverage because it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 77: O Shuttlecraft Where Art Thou?

Episode 77: O Shuttlecraft Where Art Thou?

This week Fayth’s computer has been taken over by Nomad, but Guy is back from vacation. David and Guy catch up and talk a bit about the STD news since this is the first time in a few weeks we have gotten to talk! Guy this week has a great tale to tell us about the history of the original series Shuttlecraft. We talk about how it got made, why we don’t see it in The Enemy Within! He also tell us about where it has been since the original series, how it has changed hands several times, and where the shuttlecraft now resides! I do believe this would make a great documentary I hope it happens someday but until then, grab yourself a drink you know what time it! It’s your weekly shot of Star Trek with O Shuttlecraft where art thou?

Episode 76: Sexy Potato Chip Time with Bill Smith

Episode 76: Sexy Potato Chip Time with Bill Smith

This week Bill Smith from the Trek Geeks Podcast joins David for a discussion about Star Trek V: The Final Frontier! But before we get into Star Trek V I talk a bit with Bill about Star Trek Discovery as well about his time at this year’s Star Trek Las Vegas. Also joining the show briefly this week is Victoria to talk with us about her time at Star Trek Las Vegas. The main discussion more often than not ends up being about anything but Star Trek V and that’s ok! What matters is that two people from two Star Trek Podcasts are talking about Star Trek and a great time is had! It’s time to invite your Klingon friends over for Romulan Ale before you decide next week it’s not such a  good idea.  It’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!
