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!

    Medical Emergency - Part 11: Star Trek: Prodigy

    Medical Emergency - Part 11: Star Trek: Prodigy Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries While COVID is still something we must all deal with (it is bad; you should get your shot and your booster; there will be a test on this material later) Captain Lora and First Officer Mac take a moment to reckon with the newest additions to the Star Trek family, the precocious rebels of the USS Protostar! While the show may not be built with them in mind, that doesn’t mean they can’t (or won’t) enjoy it! Take that as an object lesson for your forthcoming complaints about any new Star Trek about which you might air grievance! Be sure and check out the new blog here at The Holodeck is Broken (http://www.partyapocalypse.com/the-holodeck-is-broken-blog). The blog is going to take a bit of a pause at the moment, but more posts coming soon! Check out the new book from Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries: If Any Of These Stories Goes Over 1000 Words, This Entire Book Will Explode. Also The Once and Future Orson Welles will be coming soon, just in time for Christmas, methinks. New episodes released every other Friday on all your favorite podcasting portals!

    The Last Outpost/Where No One Has Gone Before (S1, E4/E5)

    The Last Outpost/Where No One Has Gone Before (S1, E4/5) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries We meet the Ferengi. They'll get… better? Also, we spend more time than we thought we would talking about how good a guy Riker is during our discussion of “Where No One Has Gone Before.” Soup. SOUP!

    Lonely Among Us/Justice (S1, E6/E7)

    Lonely Among Us/Justice (S1, E6/E7) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Thrill as the Away Team tries to negotiate their way out of the brain cloud caused by Lonely Among Us being one of the least memorable episodes of television ever produced. We’re all thinking that Data needs to understand when he’s on the clock and when he can dress up as Sherlock Holmes. He’ll get there. Also, we hit our first planet of infantilized sex crazed natives, and take some comfort that consent is the order of the day, and the men are just as infantilized as the women. For the life of us, we still can’t figure out just why the Federation was visiting the Edo in the first place.

    Lonely Among Us/Justice (S1, E8/E9)

    The Battle/Hide and Q (S1, E8/E9) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries The recording space is upgraded! Unfortunately, with Omicron still a very real thing, your Away Team (and special guest Acting Ensign CJ) are masking up for the show. Just think of it as pop filters that fit directly over your face. Oh, they also limit the spread of certain acute respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, we revel in the advances the Ferengi alliance (and Daimon Excedrin) have made in headache technology, and reckon with a very real question: Would we take the powers of the Q? and Would we accept the gift of a newly-minted Q?

    Haven/The Big Goodbye (S1, E10/E11)

    Haven/The Big Goodbye (S1, E10/E11) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Is Lwaxana Troi just that horny, or is some secret genius, like a sex Columbo? Your away team will ponder that question and more before determining what super-weird specialization (beyond fiction expert) we’d all take on the Enterprise-D.

    Datalore/Angel One (S1, E12/E13)

    Datalore/Angel One (S1, E12/E13) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries Data finds the psychotic, murdering twin brother he always wanted! Troi is once again missing. For reasons. Meanwhile, we take a trip to Angel One and see if toxic femininity is even a thing? Also, as long predicted, if Beverly Crusher were on the case of COVID, she’d have had the thing wrapped up in 44 minutes. No two-parter needed. Her hair would be perfect the entire time.

    11001001/Too Short a Season (S1, E14/E15)

    11001001/Too Short a Season (S1, E14/E15) Party Now, Apocalypse Later Industries We like Riker. Really, we do. He may need a leash. At the very least, we have some questions about why his wildest fantasies involve not being a very good trombone player, and then have his boss play third wheel on a pretend date… Meanwhile, Z has an exclusive interview with One Zero and Zero One, the Bynars who masterminded the hijacking of the Enterprise. Also, Too Short a Season happens. But it does lead to a conversation about accessibility in the future! Plenty of new things coming to partyapocalypse.com in the coming weeks!

    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!
