Season 3
S3E2 - "For The Cause" (DS9 S4 E21)
Do You Want it Cardassian Hot or Human Hot?
The Maquis seem to be running an operation on Deep Space 9 and the number one suspect is Captain Benjamin Sisko's girlfriend! Meanwhile, a simple tailor mulls accepting a totally normal and not weird hangout with Ziyal on... THE HOLODECK!
Note: this episode contains some spoilers regarding secondary characters on Deep Space 9
S3E3 - "Worst Case Scenario" (VOY S3 E25)
Tuvok, Did You Ever Finish Writing that Holonovel?
Wait, are the Maquis finally going to take over the USS Voyager? It sure seems like it. Wow, that's some bold storytelling! Oh. Wait. Nevermind, it's all made up as Tuvok and Tom Paris have to find a way to safely navigate writer's block in a simulation-gone-haywire on... THE HOLODECK!
S3E4 - "The Defector" (TNG S3 E10)
Why are Romulan Sweaters So Puffy?
A Romulan defects to the Federation to prevent an interstellar war, but can he be trusted? Meanwhile, Picard continues (begins?) his acting classes with Data and Data shows the Romulan his homeworld on... THE HOLODECK!
In this episode we ask:
S3E5 - "Conscience of the King" (TOS S1 E13)
"Yo, the guy playing Macbeth... is that Hitler?"
Kirk wrestles with the possibility that an actor performing Space Shakespeare might be a man he recognizes as "Kodos the Executioner." People who could also corroborate the actor's identity keep mysteriously being murdered. In the end, the play's the thing in which Kirk will catch the king in (what on TNG would be)... THE HOLODECK!
S3E6 - "Mortal Coil" (VOY S4 E12)
The One Where Neelix Loses His Sh*t
Chakotay continues his streak of "helping" crew members by making them face their traumas in the most unhealthy ways. In this case, Neelix dies in a horrible accident trying to fill a thermos full of protomatter. So Chakotay makes Neelix relive the whole thing on... THE HOLODECK!
S3E7 - "Where Silence Has Lease" (TNG S2 E2)
I Got Booted Off My Shift By a 14 Year Old
The Enterprise encounters a space anomaly that's totally spooky and weird, so of course they fly right into it. But that's nowhere near as tense as Picard is when he's waiting to hear from Riker and Worf as they work out in an also-spooky Klingon battle simulation on... THE HOLODECK!
S3E8 - "Strange Energies" (LDS S2 E1)
Darius is gone, so Jan and Dylan break the podcast!
It's a two-hander as the understaffed holobois Dylan and Jan take a look at the second season premiere of Lower Decks! And, just like last week's "Where Silence Has Lease," it starts off with a workout scene on... THE HOLODECK!
In this episode we ask:
S3E9 - "Displaced" (VOY S3 E24)
The most organic of intros!
This week the holobois have gotten into free-range, all organic intros, have to hold a historic vote on what they think is holo-content, and discuss if Star Trek is TOO horny! All while they go on their way to... THE HOLODECK!
Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefrancois-Gijzen
S3E10 - "Business as Usual" featuring Marc Cooper! (DS9 S5 E18)
Marc auditions to replace Dylan as Host
This week we have Guest Marc Cooper on to school us on queer coding, Dylan is out of town for undisclosed reasons, and we are all jealous of Quarks sleep wear!
Guest: Marc Cooper
Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefrancois-Gijzen
S3E11 - "Catspaw" (TOS S2 E7)
Dylan's gone, and Darius and Jan are somehow more unhinged?
Dylan's still gone (this is getting spooky!) so it's up to Darius and Jan to take us on a trip to Pyris VII, where a couple of middle-aged cuttlefish aliens trying to spice up their marriage set up a haunted house for Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty and Sulu on what should have been... THE HOLODECK!
