Episode 94: A Doomsday Christmas

The Doomsday Machine because a Doomsday Christmas as we wind down the year with a classic episode of Star Trek The Original Series. Aaron and David first go over the news of the casting of the lead actress for Star Trek Discovery.

Episode 93: Rocks Shoals and Rabbit Holes

Rocks Shoals and Rabbit Holes

Episode 93: Rocks Shoals and Rabbit Holes

Guy returns this week to talk Deep Space Nine Rocks and Shoals. That’s two DS9 episodes back to back! But don’t worry we go down some deep rabbit holes for some general Star Trek Voyager discussion as well. But before the main topics we get some of Guy’s feelings to the news that has been happening regarding the upcoming Star Trek Discovery series. This is the episode where you get the famous Sisko pointing angrily Meme in-case you wanted to get a new screen cap of it! Make sure your Vorta isn’t trying to sell you out! It’s time you have your ketracel-white handy and any other alcohol you like to imbibe because “Obedience brings Synthaholics and Synthaholics is life” I think that is how the saying goes……

Episode 92: Duet in C#

Episode 92: Duet in C#

Star Trek Deep Space Nine Season 1 can be a tough season to get through but Duet is the diamond in the rough for that season. It is by far the best episode of season 1 and this is what we talk about this week on Synthaholics! We discuss what makes this episode so great and we do bring up its few very minor flaws and why they may or may not be flaws. Before we get started this week we do go over some of the news CBS put out about Star Trek Discovery, and briefly touch on Bryan Fuller’s replacement as showrunner. We also bring you a very “Special” Duet please don’t turn off the episode, bear it because there is a little more to hear after that part. Look for your strongest men singing badly drink remedy…. It’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 91: Revenge of the Geekiverse

Episode 91: Revenge of the Geekiverse

It’s that time of the month… the time where we delve into things not Star Trek. Yes I know it’s has been a lot of Star Wars but come February we will bring different science fiction to talk about until the countdown to Episode 8. Once again Josiah and Trevor for The Geekiverse join us to talk about the very last George Lucas Star Wars film The Revenge of the Sith. We all go over our highs and lows from the film and we talk a little about how the different commentaries brought different things to light to us for the films. We look back on this and remember this movie is like remembering old times. Jamie LeRoy makes her debut appearance on our show this Episode! I think I’ll have whatever Obi-wan started drinking after he witnessed the Jedi being massacred and leaving his friend to burn to death on the side of a volcano. Actually let’s make it a double it’s time for this weeks shot of Science Fiction!

For more on Star Wars and the upcoming Rouge One check out The Geekiverse they will have more news info and speculation on that movie in the coming weeks!

Episode 89: Worst of the Worst Part 2

Episode 89: Worst of the Worst Part 2

This week Holly Michelle joins us again for this time for our worst of the worst part 2! Our job was to pick 3 episodes each that we think are some of the worst Star Trek has to offer. Once we pick our episodes we keep them secret from each other to not influence the decision of the others. Then we recorded this episode for you guys. The secrecy was nice because we had some overlap on our picks something we didn’t have on our first worst of the worst episode. With any thing named Worst of the Worst keep in mind this is a subjective topic and personal to each of us based on our tastes. But if you want to tell us why you think these episodes are great or want to make suggestions on episodes that are worse please email us and we will read it on a future episode! So swing open the doors on your favorite liquor cabinet it is time for your weekly shot or 7 of Star Trek!

Episode 88: Sympathy for the Devil

Episode 88: Sympathy for the Devil

This week we take a trip to the Star Trek the animated series to talk about The Magicks of Magas-tu. We figured it has been a long enough break from the insanity that is the animated series and here we go again! This time the enterprise visits the center of the galaxy with no mentions of any great barrier to meet a planet full of demons and get put on trial for being human! Aaron and David have a very difficult time staying on topic with this one as it leads to all sorts of conversations that sometimes have a tangential connection or no connection at all to this episode. See the crew meet the Devil, see Spock draw pentagrams, see Kirk wield lightning in a wizard battle, or don’t see this episode at all! But please listen to our take on the episode and all the off topic shenanigans we get into! Go to the liquor cabinet and find your highest proof drink and grab your tallest glass you are gonna need it for this weeks shot of Star trek!

Episode 87: Practice on a hotdog first kid!

Episode 87: Practice on a hotdog first kid!

This week we are joined by two members of The Geekiverse Josiah LeRoy and Trevor White for our non Star Trek episode of the month. This week we continue last month’s discussion of the Star Wars prequels picking up with Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. We begin by asking Josiah and Trevor how they got into Star Wars since Aaron and I gave our introductions into Star Wars last month. After hearing Trevor’s background on Star Wars both David and Aaron recall auditory hallucinations involving Star Wars! Sanity soon takes over and we talk about our thoughts about Episode 2 and we discus a fan theory that there was a love triangle between Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan. In this episode we learn George Lucas wrote the Star Wars prequels personally for Trevor. We have a new email we read at the end of this episode. Time to spike that blue bantha milk it’s time for your monthly off topic shot of Science Fiction!

We had a great time recording with the guys from The Geekiverse please check out their content below!

Episode 86: Grumpy Unification

Episode 86: Grumpy Unification

This week Pete Herr AKA the Grumpy Geek of the Geekiverse joins us to talk about the Star Trek The Next Generation two-parter Unification! The Geekiverse is a local entertainment website that reports on all things geek, from written reviews, to video segments, to podcasts. Unification is a favorite episode for Pete because it is a crossover it is also a favorite of ours. This episode is the first time we hear of Worf’s love of Klingon Opera that will come back to haunt us in future episodes of Star Trek! We also witness Data do a Vulcan nerve pinch to our sadness he never uses this again. This episode also made us think of a few funny Star Trek Related you tube videos links are down in the show notes! Put on your Romulan forehead and your pointed ears and pull out that Illegal Romulan Ale you’ve been hiding, it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!
