Science Friction with Asterios Kokkinos

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

If you're anything like me, you've often wondered, "Where's Katie Sackhoff?" She killed it as Starbuck on BSG...so where'd she go? In this episode...WE FIND OUT!

 

THIS WEEK'S CREW:

SF023 stars two of my favorite podcasters: Kevin Cole & Jeff Pennington.

Kevin DM's a D&D podcast called Pretend Friends, and Jeff runs a Star Trek podcast called M-Class. I love both of these dudes, and after you listen, you will too!

This week: we watch Star Trek Discovery S2E2: "New Eden" & The Orville S2E2: "Primal Urges."

They're both not great!

There's a lot of online chatter about how The Orville is good and Discovery is bad, or vice versa. So this week, I said, "I'll watch both shows and talk about them." And I did!

Me and fellow Mumkey-verse podcaster Erich McCoy  are both BIG fans of Star Trek: Discovery! So we'll be doing a weekly watchalong show for season two. This first episode focuses on the "Short Treks," a series of 15 minute in-universe shorts that CBS All Access made. 

If you don't know which to start with, I suggest "The Escape Artist," which stars and was directed by Rainn Wilson!

What do you do when you're three seasons deep and out of ideas?

You get META, baby!

This week, we discuss VOY 3x24, "Worst Case Scenario."

It gives us a tantalizing look into what might happen if Chakotay ever did anything interesting, through a holodeck Maquis mutiny gone wrong.

It also gives a peek behind the curtain of the Voyager writing staff, where annoying actors and their nuisance notes can be deactivated like an EMH without his 26th century portable holo-emitter.

We're back! After a long hiatus spent making 983 other podcasts, Science Friction warps in with all-new episode!

And this time, we embrace the NEW. Forget that crusty ol' TNG – this week, we review episodes of 2018's hottest sci-fi shows, including Lost In Space, The Expanse and Altered Carbon.

Never heard of those shows? Me neither – I googled "new sci-fi that the kids like" and just rolled with it, baby!

Is Voyager as bad as we remember?

In the 2010's, the internet becomes a Voyager LOVE FEST. Everyone's watching it on Netflix and talking about how it had "a lot of good episodes" and how "Seven of Nine was pretty great" and "Robert Picardo was awesome" and I think:

Wait, was I wrong about Voyager? Let's find out.

I hope you enjoy our first episode, featuring Ballard Boyd, segment director for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert!

Yes, his name is "Ass Burger!"

On his second channel, my ol' pal Mumkey Jones has a movie podcast called "Is It Kino?" Last night, we decided to mash it up with some Science Friction, and record a knock down, drag out, incredibly civil discussion about Avengers: Infinity War.

Enjoy, and happy tuesday!
