Episode 169: Hope and Fear

Holly Michelle is back joining David and Aaron on a discussion of the Star Trek Voyager season four finale “Hope and Fear”! This week there isn’t much news but we do have a long listener email that we do read and respond to this episode. This episode is one of the few Star Trek season finales that aren’t set up to be a mid season cliffhanger.

In “Hope and Fear” Ray Wise guest stars as Arturis an alien who claims to be a walking universal translator. Arturis helps decode a transmission from Starfleet that leads the Voyager crew to a ship the USS Dauntless. The USS Dauntless is equipped with a slipstream drive to get Voyager home in just three months! Is Arturis really a nice guy, is this just too good to be true? You might want to slipstream some booze in to your coffee to find this out, on your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 168: Dixon Hill

Episode 168: Dixon Hill

Episode 168: Dixon Hill

This week Aaron and David discuss the comings and goings of Picard’s favorite Holodeck character Dixon Hill! We were surprised to only find four times where Picard steps into the role of Dixon Hill. The first and most substantial appearance of the character was in The Next Generation season one episode “The Big Goodbye”. Dixon Hill also shows up in the season two episode “Manhunt” the season four episode “Clues” and probably makes the most memorable appearance in the film Star Trek First Contact.

Dixon Hill is a fun character to see Picard play and he is so memorable we could of swore he came up in TNG more often. Be sure to put your drinks on Dixon’s tab at Rex’s Bar, it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek.

Episode 166: Nickel City Con 2018

Last week we mentioned we could be at Nickel City Con and we had a fantastic time at the con this past weekend. Aaron ran the Numina Comics table and David was a roamer when he wasn’t moderating panels with Barbara Eden, Frank Cho, and Lori Petty. We didn’t speak to as many guests and vendors this year as past years. David did run into Jeff who has been on past comic con episodes and our Balance of Terror episode.

David also got to talk to the Angry Video Game Nerd about some of his favorite Star Trek moments. To round out the episode Aaron and I recorded our first podcast panel at Nickel City Con. To round out the panel Robbie from The Nerdynomicon and Chris Chavez from the BICBP Radio Network join us. The panel is more about letting the people know about our shows and if they had and questions getting a podcast started. We hope you enjoy this special convention episode of Synthaholics!

Synthaholics Episode 164: Demons of Terra Prime

Synthaholics Episode 164: Demons of Terra Prime

HollyMichelle is back this week joining Aaron and David to talk about the Star Trek Enterprise episodes Demons and Terra Prime. But first we talk some Star Trek Movie news and some Avengers Infinity War Spoilers so be warned!

Demons and Terra Prime are the two episodes the come right before the series finale of Enterprise. In a way these episodes could of been a more satisfying ending to the show. We discuss this as well the other heavy implications the episodes bring up and how shockingly poignant they are to our times. While these are pretty good episodes they do have some choopynes in their story telling. If you enjoy episodes that get you in the feels Terra Prime is for sure one of those episodes and we for sure encourage you to give it a watch. Pour yourself something green it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 163: Captain Foley’s Enterprise incident

Captain Foley of Trekyards joins Aaron and David this week to discuss the Star Trek original series episode The Enterprise Incident. Before we get into the episode breakdown and discussion we talk about the Star Trek Discovery Season 2 production video as well as the news on the Star Trek movie that has been greenlit. The Enterprise Incident is one of Captain Foley’s favorite episodes and we have a great discussion with him about it.

David also rabbit holes the discussion back to the prime directive episodes as he wants to get Captain Foley’s take on a pair for voyager episodes. Check our youtube channel for how to make romulan ale! As that is the best beverage to enjoy while watching Romulan centric episodes! It’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 162: HollyMichelle on Discovery Part 1

Last week HollyMichelle had just one episode of Star Trek Discovery under her belt this week she has seen up to episode 6 Lethe. So David and Aaron decided to get her take on Discovery now that he has made it just over one third of the way into the show. Last week HollyMichelle posted a video along with needed words for a Star Trek Themed madlib to our Facebook Group. It hasn’t been completed yet so we did our own madlib and started the show with that. We had a really fun discussion with HollyMichelle about the first six episodes and got her thoughts and feelings on the show so far. We are looking forward to do part two of this discussion once she has finished the show. If you have bloodwine you should pour a glass it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 161: DS9 The House of Quark

This week Holly Michelle joins Aaron and David to talk the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Episode House of Quark. Before we get into the episode we have some Star Trek Discovery news. Anson Mount Black Bolt himself has been cast as Christopher Pike for Season two of Star Trek Discovery. We also got strange news with next to no explanation that the enterprise had to be 25% due to “legal reasons”. We all found this to sound pretty suspect. Our house of Quark discussion goes pretty fast as it is more a fun episode then a deep episode. Holly brings up how Grelka is a strong female character so we have a general discussion about female leads in Star Trek. Why do you sit back and grab a Synthale it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek

Episode 160: The Prime Directive Part 5 VOY Era

Aaron and David are back once again to discuss The Prime Directive. It’s the last time we swear! (for now anyway) Before we get into the prime directive we have a listener email and we thought we’d let you know Synthaholics Podcast has just turned three years old! Thank you to those that have been with us since the beginning! Last time we started on the Voyager era of prime directive breaks and this week we finish out Star Trek Voyager and tally up what show was had the most prime directive infractions! This week we discuss “Innocence”, “False Profits”, “Scorpion”, “Course: Oblivion” and “Friendship One” to name a few. We hope you are ready for the 5th and final instalment of the Prime Directive!
