Episode 193: Jetrel

It’s been a while since we have discussed a Voyager episode so this week Holly, Aaron, and David talk the Star Trek Voyager episode Jetrel. But first we have some news. Aaron discovered on his YouTube feed that he started seeing new videos from the Axanar channel so it seems like that is back in production. This week the third Short Trek the Brightest Star was released and Holly and Aaron caught up on the paste episodes so we discuss our thoughts on Calypso and The Brightest Star.

Jetrel is a Voyager season one episode that centers on Neelix of all people. But this is actually a very solid episode with strong calls to World War II and Robert Oppenheimer. Jetrel is basically Oppenheimer and he developed a weapon of mass destruction that was used on the Talaxians. The episode is ultimately a message about forgiveness and Is really quite well done. Pour yourself a very strong drink, it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Synthaholics Episode 114: Light Bringer Earth Shaker

Voyager is the Light Bringer, Earth Shaker is this season six episode of Star Trek Voyager: Blink of an Eye. Aaron and David are sticking to their promise to bring you more voyager in 2017! This week we give Harry Kim a break since he barely appears in this episode! We enjoyed this episode about really bad science because it let us get to know the planet as it aged and the people that inhabited the planet and how its mythos was build all around the Light Bringer and Earth Shaker! It is interesting how myths and stories form a culture and we talk a little bit how things of old have their place in our culture. We once again let you know we will be at the Nickel City Con this weekend and we hope to see you all there! The link for the con will be in the links section.

Episode 113 The Traveler

May 9, 2017 DaviddAarono

Synthaholics Episode 113: The Traveler

This week we are taking the Traveler! This is our first themed episode in quite some time! The Traveler appeared in three episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation over the seven seasons of the series. We briefly talk about the trek news before diving into the myth and lore behind the Traveler and his three fingers special! Ironically both Aaron and David didn’t remember the Traveler’s appearance in the episode Remember Me. The Traveler also appears in Where no one has gone before and Journey’s End. We speculate about Wesley’s origin and how it may tie into this character! We also talk about how creepy The Traveler seems to be. Are you thirsty? Grab yourself a drink it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek.

Episode 112: Giant cats and comics

When David is missing Aaron and Guy talk Giant cats and comics! This week Synthaholics goes into a deep dive on the Star Trek the animated series episode The Slaver Weapon. What would you put into a time capsule if you knew everything in it would be perfectly preserved? Lets hope it wouldn’t be a selfie, raw meat, and a swiss army gun. But if you did the Kzinti would probably appreciate it. This is one of two episodes where we ever see the Kzinti a bipedal cat like race who is bent on uncovering something to overthrow the federation. Once Aaron and Guy finish talking The Slaver weapon they get into a discussion about Guy’s Star Trek comic the USS Tamerlane. This leads to a segue to a Star Trek The Wrath of Khan and to Star Trek Nemesis! Anything and everything in this week’s episode of Synthaholics!

Episode 104: It’s been a long Regeneration

Holly Michelle of Artful Gremlins joins us this week to talk about the Enterprise episode Regeneration. This is the one and only Borg episode of Star Trek Enterprise. The Borg in the episode actually make a ton of sense once taken in context to what happened in Star Trek First contact. Speaking on the Borg this week David made a drink called the Borg Sphere that we drank while recording this episode. Be sure to check out our YouTube Channel for Synthaholic Shorts some videos we have been adding to our channel. The link is below! It’s time to look up the recipe for the Borg Sphere so you can get assimilated for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 102: Our Year of Hell

This week we welcome our good friend Pete Herr AKA the Grumpy Geek to talk about Star Trek Voyager Year of Hell! We ask Pete what he has going on lately at The Geekiverse before getting into the episode. This episode deals with Red Forman of That 70’s Show causing time travel mayhem for the crew of the voyager for a year! Aaron makes a Simpsons reference that falls the unfamiliar ears of David and Pete. We go on other rabbit holes such as Batman, James Bond, Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Discovery! We picked this episode as it is a favorite of Pete’s and it also lets us look back at the last year when things changed for Aaron and I! Since bloodwine comes up quite a bit this episode I recommend you grab some it is an excellent beverage as it is time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 99: Approaching the Threshold

Synthaholics is approaching the threshold the 100 episode threshold! So we dive into the much talked about and much ridiculed Star Trek Voyager episode Threshold. But first we go into the latest casting announcement we have for Star Trek discovery and its newest delay. We talk about how this episode could have been made better because the episode doesn’t really completely fall apart until the last act. Michael De Luca wrote the story for this episode and Aaron brings up some fun facts about him. Do salamanders like alcoholic beverages? If so it’s time to grab that drink it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek.
