Synthaholics Episode 145: The Prime Directive Part 1

After talking about Ransom and Janeway both admitted to bending the prime directive last week. Aaron pitched the idea of talking about the prime directive. We thought this was a great idea but we decided it was too big to cover in one go so we will be doing multiple episodes about the prime directive.

This week we discuss the basics of what the prime directive is as well as some inconsistencies and exceptions to the rule. Specifically we get into General Order 24 and a little bit into the Omega Directive. We hope you are thirsty it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 144: Janeway, Ransom, and the Equinox

Episode 144: Janeway, Ransom, and the Equinox

This week we have a request to talk about the Star Trek Voyager Episode Equinox. This request came from the Synthaholics Facebook group around when Episode 4 of Star Trek Discovery aired. Comparisons were made between Captain Ransom and Lorca so we thought this would be a fun episode to touch on while Star Trek Discovery is still fresh in our minds. If you ever make contact with a green floating alien don’t try to make fuel out of it! If you are looking for drink ideas check out the Synthaholics YouTube channel. There you will find some drink to try while you enjoy your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 141: Into The Forest I Go

Star Trek Discovery comes to its mid season finale with Into the Forest I Go. The first chapter of season one comes to a close, luckily the wait won’t be too long for the second chapter of season one! Aaron and David first talk a bit of news and non spoiler reactions to the episode before the episode synopsis and the spoiler filled episode discussion.

Everything about the episode is fantastic, the writing, the acting, the terrific fight scene it all comes together for an absolutely fantastic mid season finale! We hope you brought lots to drink and a bag full of bread crumbs because it’s time to go into the forest for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

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 136: Star Trek Discovery The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry

Guy Davis joins David this week for The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry. Star Trek Discovery so far has been delivering amazing episodes so far and this week’s episode does not disappoint! Since this is our first time talking with Guy since Discovery has started we get his take on the show so far. We then give our initial spoiler free first reactions to The Butcher’s Knife. Once our initial impressions are out of the way we talk full spoilers and episode synopsis. We both seem to absolutely love Captain Lorca and his methods. This week’s episode also features a listener email. We hope you have a drink capable of knocking out a tardigrade, because it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 134: Star Trek Discovery Context is for Kings

::Spoilers:: for this week’s episode of Star Trek Discovery Context is for Kings. We enjoyed the The Vulcan Hello and The Battle at the Binary Stars last week, but we LOVED Context is for Kings this week. This episode delivered in just about every way could ask for. The characters are interesting and compelling and clues for this seasons mysteries are scattered about. Captain Lorca is not what he seems to be! This smells like a section 31 ship to us! Gorn skulls, scared Klingons, and experiments gone wrong! What drinks do you think go well with fortune cookies? It’s time for you weekly shot of Star Trek!

Synthaholics Episode 133: Star Trek Discovery Pilot

On Sunday September 24th 2017 the Star Trek Discovery pilots aired. The new show is finally here! We will be covering both pilot episodes The Vulcan Hello and Battle at the Binary Stars this week on the show.

To start of this episode we give general first impressions before getting heavily into spoilers. There is so much great Star Trek to be found here the show has a lot of promise. Together the episodes are defiantly stronger than they were separately.

We are very much looking forward to the rest of the season. While Discovery is on we will be covering it each week. We hope you enjoy this trek into the first new Star Trek in over a decade! And we hope you will enjoy it through our eyes. Always feel free to email us your thoughts so we can share them on the podcast! What do Kelpains drink i hope it’s strong, it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 132: Assignment Earth?

Episode 132: Assignment Earth?

Synthaholics Episode 132: Assignment Earth?

Do you remember that time Star Trek did a backdoor pilot back in the second season? David didn’t until Aaron suggested that we watch the original series episode Assignment Earth.

This episode centers around this cat named Isis and her human secret agent Gary Seven. The Enterprise some how intercepts their transporter beam while for some strange reason being on a mission to observe 1968. Assignment Earth is Star Trek the animated series level of strange! We are thankful there was a letter writing campaign to bring Star Trek back for a third season otherwise this could of been the series finale of the Original Series!

This episode has some very fascinating historical events happen close to the episodes release that were hinted at within the episode. Also is Gary Seven a Time Lord? If not then where did he get that Sonic Screwdriver? Pour yourself an extra strong drink it’s about to get weird on your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 131: The Klingon Pop Warrior takes us Once More Unto the Breach

This week on Synthaholics Jen The Klingon Pop Warrior takes us Once More Unto the Breach! Jenbom our guest this week is the Klingon Pop Warrior.

We ask her to tell her story to how she got into singing songs in Klingon. Jen also wanted to talk about the amazing Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode Once More Unto the Breach. Jen lets us know that even though this in an amazing episode there was only one real Klingon word in the whole episode.

Once we recap the episode we talk more about Klingon. DuoLingo is adding Klingon to their app this month so we can all start learning Klingon. We also get Jen’s take on the Star Trek Discovery Klingons. Grab your favorite vintage of Bloodwine or a good cold glass of raktajino it’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Please take a look at Jen’s website and follow her on Facebook and Twitter!
