Holodeck Divas - A Star Trek Podcast

We decided to make a change to this weeks episode. Sir Patrick Stewart passed away this week. Stef and Chris wanted to spend some time celebrating the man who played our favorite Star Trek Captain. Why is he our favorite, and why will we miss him terribly? Listen and find out!

Chris is traveling this week, so we weren’t able to record a new episode, but considering the recent criticism of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, we wanted to republish one of our favorite old episodes. In this episode of Holodeck Divas, we discuss the Star Trek original series episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” (S2E15). This was the first episode where we encountered the Klingons, and it was kinda racist. It was also the origin of Chris’s “I like to run” bit. It’s still one of our favorite episodes to talk about, so if you missed it the first time, here you go!

WE ARE BACK! Also a heads up, the thirst is real in this episode. What do you expect when the Divas talk about an episode full of Klingons? This isn't just any Klingons episode though. In this episode of Holodeck Divas, we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Sins of the Father" (s3e17). We meet a new Klingon who (SPOILER ALERT) turns out to be Worf's brother. He has a brother?! WHAT?! We get a deep look into Klingon politics, and the beginning of a story arc that lasts all the way through Deep Space Nine. Is this episode as good as many critics say? Well listen to this episode to hear what Stef and Chris have to say!

Data is a dad now, and everything seems to be fine with it. Right? RIGHT?! In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "The Offspring" (s3e16). When we get to the episode, Stef and Chris have a long conversation about the difference between "opinions" and "facts," in the context of toxic fandom. Then we jump right into Data deciding he wants to be a Dad. Picard stresses "britishly" throughout the episode, and some have issues with some of thee wig and hair choices. Listen now to hear what Stef and Chris have to say!

We go from something we didn't like, to something we love. In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the celebrated Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" (s3e15). This episode is one of those Star Trek episodes where time is messed with, and we see what happens when Romulans are assholes and cause a time rift to happen. Everything on the Enterprise changes, and there's only one person who knows something is wrong. Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

In one of the craziest episodes Stef and Chris have ever recorded, in this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Perspective" (s3e14). Commander Riker is accused of murder, but does any of it make any sense? Why is this episode considered a "bottle episode?" TRIGGER WARNING: We do discuss sexual harassment and violence in this episode. What do the divas have to say? Listen and find out!

The divas have returned! Also Q is back! What!? In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Deja Q" (s3e13). A lot of famous Star Trek GIFs originated from this episode, and for good reason! It turns out this is one of the funnier episodes, but it has a surprisingly deep Sci-Fi conundrum. What do the divas think about this episode? Listen and find out!

In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "The High Ground" (s312). Dr. Crusher is crushing it in this episode, though she does get kidnapped. This episode didn't turn out the way most of the show runners wanted, plus Stef and Chris may agree with some of them. Listen to hear why!

The crew of the Enterprise deal with a different kind of super soldier, and this episode has a lot to say about on how war veterans are treated. Couldn't have anything to do with our real life, right? RIGHT?! Anyway.... In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "The Hunted" (s3e11). Captain Picard may be welcoming a new world into the federation, but there's some moral questions about how they treat their soldiers. Does this episode hold up? Listen to the episode and find out!

We love a good messy Romulan episode! The crew of the Enterprise suddenly receive a urgent communication from a Romulan Scout Ship who is being chased by a Romulan Warbird. What is going on?! In this episode of Holodeck divas we discuss the thrilling Star Trek The Next Generation episode "The Defector" (s310). In a episode that mirrors the historical events of the Cuban Missle Crisis, Jean Luc Picard must decide what actions to take and feels the weight of history as his decisions could lead the Federation into war with the Romulan Empire. How do Chris and Stef feel about this episode? Listen and find out!
