Synthaholics Episode 139: Star Trek Discovery Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad

Mudd is back in episode seven of Star Trek Discovery “Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad”! Previously in “Choose your Pain” Mudd promised Lorca that he would have his revenge, and his revenge is had many times over. Aaron and David talk this week about how layered this episode is. This episode has some basic story and visual cues back to the Star Trek the Next Generation episode “Cause and Effect” but there is so much more to this story then just the time loop. There is the why, the how along with some story threads that we didn’t really see coming. It’s time to practice your beer pong and find your space glowing green solo cups it’s time for you weekly Star Trek keg party!

Synthaholics Episode 138: Star Trek Discovery Lethe

Aaron and David are back to discuss Star Trek Discovery Episode 6 “Lethe”. This week was heavy on character building and it was a nice change of pace compared to the last several episodes. Lethe was such a fascinating ride where we learn more about Michael, Lorca, Ash, and Sarek. Lethe didn’t seem to do a whole lot of advancing the overall story this week but it was for sure setting up the chess board. We can’t wait to see what all this leads to in the upcoming episodes! So far the end of each episode this season always leaves us wanting more, this episode is no exception. With only have three more episodes before the show goes on break we wonder how they will keep upping the ante. We hope you enjoy your weekly shot of Star Trek.
