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!

Episode 85: The Halloween “One”

Episode 85: The Halloween “One”

This week Holly Michelle from the Artful Gremlins joins us to talk about the Star Trek Voyager Episode “One”! Last year we brought you Schisms as our Halloween flavored episode and to continue with that we bring you an episode that may not be scary to the view on its surface. But to Seven of Nine she was facing extreme isolation, hallucinations, and being alone with a doctor. All the while her ship is failing all around her and he has been tasked with keeping all her sleeping crew mates alive. All of this makes for one of the closest things we get in Star Trek to the feeling of horror and a Halloween type episode! This week we recorded at Holly’s house so take all the bumps and scrapes as just audio dressing for a spooky episode! Well it’s time pull out your favorite Halloween alcoholic beverage! I hope it is green colored to honor Scotty! Get ready for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

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 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

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!
