Synthaholics Episode 118: Wild Hologram Virtuoso

Have you seen the Wild Hologram Virtuoso? This week we talk about the Star Trek Voyager Episode Virtuoso where the doctor gets a bit wild to the point of resigning his commission to be a professional singer to a race that finds him to be a primitive holo matrix. After hearing Erin Gray audition for Janeway on Voyager David can’t watch Voyager without thinking about that. Aaron brings up what it must be like for the doctor where none of his friends seem to appreciate his other talents and skill other than doctoring. So we both talk times in our life where our talents may not have been appreciated. This discussion leads into some thoughts about our education system as a whole. Virtuoso brings up some of the same thoughts and ideas about the personhood and the sentience of holographic beings that were brought out last week on Holograms Gone Wild. We hope you enjoy your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 117: Star Trek Holograms Gone Wild

Synthaholics Episode 117: Star Trek Holograms Gone Wild

Synthaholics Episode 117: Star Trek Holograms Gone Wild

This week Aaron and David delve into the world of Star Trek Holograms Gone Wild this is something we teased way back in the earliest days of the podcast and we are now bringing it to you! For this first holograms gone wild we thought we’d talk about the two Star Trek The Next Generation Episodes that involve Professor James Moriarty “Elementary, Dear Data” and “Ship in a bottle”! These are two fascinating episodes of Star Trek and bring up interesting moral dilemmas such as; are holograms actual life forms, at what point does artificial intelligence become sentient, and are their any safeguards being considered to prevent this from happening? We hope this episode inspires you to watch these two episodes back to back it really is a fantastic way to see“Elementary, Dear Data” and “Ship in a bottle”. What are you having to drink with your weekly shot of Star Trek?

Episode 121: Trek Noobz 3 Q Who (with Chris Chavez)

This week Chris Chavez joins us as our Trek Noob to talk about Q Who one of the best Star Trek the Next Generation episodes of season 2! This week Aaron is on vacation and in his stead I have enlisted the help of former guest Natalie Schlichtmann to be my co-host this week! The little bit of news we have this week is the story that Star Trek Discovery will not be held to Roddenberry Rule of no conflict between starfleet officers. We discus this before getting into our main topic this week Q Who. Natalie is my Aaron surrogate and so she breaks down the episode for us and we discuss the ins and outs of this episode. Along the way Chris asks some great questions from his perspective as someone new to Star Trek. We hope you enjoy this next entry into the Trek Noobz series it’s always wonderful to have someone new fall in love with Star Trek! It’s time to pour yourself your favorite drink because it is time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Episode 116: Star Trek DS9 The Jem’Hadar

Synthaholics Episode 116: Star Trek DS9 The Jem’Hadar

Synthaholics Episode 116: Star Trek DS9 The Jem’Hadar

This week we talk the Star Trek DS9 episode The Jem’Hadar. This is the season two finale for Deep Space Nine and and our first good look at two of the major players for the Dominion, the Jem’Hadar and the Vorta! But before we talk The Jem’Hadar we reflect on our weekend at Nickel City Con and talk a little bit more about our experience there as well.David wildly speculates about Voyager after mentioning the segment you all heard last week with Erin Gray. The Dominion the Vorta and the Jem’Hadar seem wildly overpowered and are scarier in this episode then they seem to be going forward. To wrap up we also talk bridge design pointing out the Enterprise and Odyssey have different bridges so it’s totally feasible for the USS Shenzhou’s bridge to look very different from the pike era Enterprise. Make sure you prep your jambalaya before you go camping, and don’t forget the alcohol! It’s time for your weekly shot of Star Trek!

Synthaholics Episode 115: Nichelle Nichols, J.G. Hertzler, and Erin Gray at Nickel City Con

This week we were honored to get to talk with Nichelle Nichols, J.G. Hertzler, and Erin Gray at Nickel City Con!  The Nickel City Con was such a blast this year, Aaron was at his table for Numina Comics and David was able to host a panel with Erin Gray. In addition to the celebrities, we were also able to speak with artists and con goers who were attending the convention to ask their thoughts about the Star Trek Discovery trailer that just aired last week.  We got to hear from a variety of people ranging from non fans of Star Trek all the way up to people in full on Star Trek cosplay. We hope you enjoy this week’s comic con shot of Star Trek!

Episode 114: Light Bringer Earth Shaker

 Light Bringer Earth Shaker

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

The Traveler and the three finger special

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.

Episode112: Giant cats and comics

Giant Cats and comics

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

Our Year of Hell

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!

You can find Pete Herr on Twitter at @peteherr
