The Holodeck is Broken - A Star Trek Podcast

Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries

Four friends are watching Star Trek--all of it—from the beginning. One has watched too much Star Trek over the years, one grew up on it, one has watched a few episodes here and there, and another has never seen one second of any Trek. Together they will explore the Final Frontier in a way only they could. Great for long-time fans and newcomers!

    When The Bough Breaks/Home Soil (S1, E16/E17)

    When The Bough Breaks/Home Soil (S1, E16/E17) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries The Space Atlanteans are here, and they want 8 of the smartest, cutest (cough) whitest (cough) children the Enterprise has! Also, we almost enjoy a story about terraforming, before realizing we’re ugly bags of mostly water. During our commercial Z “Stay cool” Lee catches up with the Aldeans, but with a twist. They’re wearing a wire. That’s it. That’s the twist. The Once and Future Orson Welles is now available in Kindle and paperback editions. Buy it now!

    Coming of Age/Heart of Glory (S1, E18/E19)

    Coming of Age/Heart of Glory (S1, E18/E19) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Wesley meets a girl! And his greatest fears! Much to our surprise, they aren’t one and the same thing. Then we witness live as Eris becomes a full-on Klingon stan, before reviewing a bit of Klingon language, culture, and recipes! (Mmm, Raktajino!)

    The Arsenal of Freedom/Symbiosis (S1, E20/E21)

    Arsenal of Freedom/Symbiosis (S1, E20/E21) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Discussions about The Arsenal of Freedom descends into a discussion of Practical Magic (1998) and Sub Rosa (it all makes sense, kind of). Before the entire episode (and Star Trek itself, kinda) descends into a discussion of NFTs. They’re bad! Also, they’re kind of lame. Drugs are also discussed, because, Symbiosis. Friendibals: Two Friends Talking About Hannibal Lecter will start airing shows this Monday. Find it on the site, and wherever fine podcasts are found (sit down, Spotify).

    Skin of Evil/We'll Always Have Paris (S1, E22/E23)

    Skin of Evil/We'll Always Have Paris (S1, E22/E23) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries And so it comes time to say goodbye, for now, to a character we’ve grown to love and appreciate. Of course, we’re talking about the super-annoying, fourth-of-four chief engineers we’ve been subjected to this season, Leland T. Gasbag. Also, (spoilers) Tasha Yar joins that Great Big Anbo-Jyutsu tournament in the sky and says good-bye via a ghost hologram in the middle of a Window’s 95 desktop background. It sounds like we didn’t like the episode, but we did. Also, We’ll Always Have Paris happened. Mac tries to remember if Oklahoma’s only Casablanca-themed restaurant was a thing he imagined, and the entire away team would prefer if Warner Bros. doesn’t sue. Friendibals: Two Friends Talking About Hannibal Lecter is now airing on the Mondays immediately after fridays in which we post new THIBs.

    Conspiracy/The Neutral Zone (S1, E24/E25)

    Conspiracy/The Neutral Zone (S1, E24/E25) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries And so, our journey through TNG season 1 has come to an end. We didn’t hate it as much as we might have! Although Conspiracy could have been at least 15% less gross (or have better special effects), and they shouldn’t really let self-proclaimed 20th Century tycoons on the bridge, especially when they’re staring down a Romulan warbird.

    The Child/Where Silence Has Lease (S2, E1/E2)

    The Child/Where Silence Has Lease (S2, E1/E2) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries We knew it was coming. There was no way around it. Without, you know, just skipping Season 2. Dr. Pulaski is here. Sigh. We miss you, Bev. Come back soon. We’ll never listen to Freebird the same way again. So help me, Guinan, we’ll get through this. For now, though, courage.

    Elementary, Dear Data/The Outrageous Okona (S2, E3/E4)

    Elementary, Dear Data/The Outrageous Okona (S2, E3/E4) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Can an episode be FUN and feature Katherine Pulaski? We’ll find out today with “Elementary, Dear Data.” Other questions pondered include: Is Rocketeer great? (It is.) Is Geordi running a speakeasy out of Engineering? (There is some circumstantial evidence). Is it someone’s job to be on lookout in Engineering in case Picard shows up? (That, or they have an emergency transport to get rid of Lego at a moment’s notice). Just how many Spots (Data’s cat) were there? (Too many to answer, even though we haven’t seen any of them yet). Would Worf have fun at a carnival? (If there was honor in combat to be won.) Special welcome to Beyond The Cabin in The Woods, joining the Party Now, Apocalypse Later family!

    Loud as a Whisper/The Schizoid Man (S2, E5/E6)

    Loud as a Whisper/The Schizoid Man (S2, E5/E6) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Our ongoing frustrations with Pulaski eventually give way to the Away Team discussing the most thoughtless, dismissive, and cruel people in their lives. I’m sure the two topics are unrelated. And then The Schizoid Man happens in the process making Loud as a Whisper a masterpiece by comparison.

Four friends are watching Star Trek--all of it—from the beginning. One has watched too much Star Trek over the years, one grew up on it, one has watched a few episodes here and there, and another has never seen one second of any Trek. Together they will explore the Final Frontier in a way only they could. Great for long-time fans and newcomers!
