Synthaholics: A Star Trek Podcast

Episode 283: Lower Decks Much Ado About Boimler   Aaron and David are back this week to talk the next episode of Lower Decks “Much Ado About Boimler”. But before we get into this week's episode we ponder the latest Star Trek Discovery Season 3 trailer. The trailer has spawned some fan theories and we also discuss our thoughts on them. This episode gives us our first mention of Division 14, a medical branch in Starfleet that handles unsolvable diseases and science mysteries. This is an idea we both really love. Boimler gets into a transporter accident and Division 14 comes to take him to “The Farm”.

Episode 280: Lower Decks Moist Vessel This week David and Aaron are here to discuss “Moist Vessel” the fourth episode of Lower Decks. David was very disappointed “Moist Vessel” didn't quite turn out how he expected it to be given the title. However the episode does help us dive into a deep discussion about what happens on the holodeck and what becomes of all the waste left in holodeck. So far no legacy characters have appeared in the show. Dave is hoping for Q, what legacy characters do you think will show up in season one of Lower Decks?

Episode 279: Lower Decks Temporal Edict This week David and Aaron are on their own to discuss Temporal Edict the third episode of the outstanding new animated Star Trek show Lower Decks. The episode title is a bit of a misnomer as we were expecting a time travel episode. However Temporal Edict dealt with Scotty's invention of buffer time and the micromanaging of a Star Fleet crew and the repercussions it can have on people’s morale and their productivity. Lower Decks for the most part is a very strong trek show and we still consider the best Star Trek show CBS All Access has produced. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store.
