Trek Mate: Ten Forward

The bar is a bit dusty, but Carnivore has once again stolen the keys from Sina to do a rare bar talk session with yet another Star Trek fan.

What is this?  A new episode?  Yes, thanks to one of our 5 listeners, Dan Hitch.

On the eve of Star Trek Discovery, Dan decides to…

Well, I’ll let you listen yourself to see what he says.

You can find Dan at @hitch_daniel

If you don’t like the episode, tell @firbob1

Tell Evil Dan – @dlevitt79 – that you miss his wit

Tell the Worst Captain Ever – @chriscantfly – that he’s still the best ever

and

I can usually be reached @queenkatblue where I discuss The Teenage Daughter nowadays when I’m not working and give away Golden Pinecone Awards to punworthy tweets.

 

One might assume that sex is pretty safe in the 24th century… but a new study commissioned by your friends at Ten Forward gathers vital statistics–statistics that demonstrate a surprising amount of risk… and we’re not just talking about the potential for unpleasant outbreaks in uncomfortable places… but the very real possibility of death, following one’s romantic liaison with a member of the Enterprise crew.

Join Lt. Dan and Chris Johnson to learn the Vegas odds of surviving a splendid encounter with each member of the 1701-D command crew.  Your assumptions may well be tested by our findings.

Lieutenant Dan and Carnivore J reconvene at the bar to discuss their favorite film score music from Star Trek and elsewhere.  Ten (10!) songs are featured… so tune in to find out what selections they made, and revel in the aural splendor!

 

 

This episode was recently rescued from the deepest vaults below Gringotts.  A few months back, Sina welcomed special guests Jennean Levitt and Megan Carmody to discuss the latest entry into the Potter-verse: the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (published in book format).  The boys were swept off by dementors and locked away in Azkaban, while Sina enjoyed a much-deserved ladies night at the bar, where the butter beers might have been a touch stronger than usual.

Ten Forward: Episode 218 – Robert does San Francisco

Last year Creation Entertainment created the 50 Year Mission Tour, a series of Conventions around the US culminating in December in San Francisco at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. We sent out roving reporter Robert Reyes to cover the first day of the convention to give us a flavour of the 50 Mission Tour.

As usual Robert did a magnificent job of interviewing people at the event including Mike and Denise Okuda!!

Many thanks go to Robert for doing this for us but also to the many people that agreed to be interviewed, without whom there would be a very lonely man talking into a microphone.

So sit back and enjoy the experience of attending a Star Trek convention curtesy of Robert Reyes.

This week, Lieutenant Dan and Carnivore Johnson examine the long relationship between Star Trek and spirits.  We discuss favorite drinking moments in the series, and ponder such questions as why would a Vulcan drink?  And what exactly is synthehol?  The hosts partake a bit themselves – to get closer to the heart of the issue – and so tangents and unrelated chatter abound.  Enjoy responsibly!

Chris and Paul watch Devil in the Dark, and you can join them!!

 

 

Ten Forward: Episode 215 – Top Ten Things I Love About Star Trek

In this episode Firbob and Grand Moff Eeeboy (Paul and Chris) are back in the bar to actually talk trek!

Chris came up with the topic Top Ten Things I Love About Star Trek and some of them are not so obvious.

Dr Pepper is drunk, Firbob goes for a wee and Chris eats Jaffa Cakes!

This week, the Ex-Presidente and the reformed Evil Dan discuss favorite one-shot guest characters… with a side portion of tangents, a generous helping of DS9 worship, and some rampant speculation on the mysteries of Star Trek Discovery.  Pull up a glass!
