Trek Mate The Delta Quadrant

This week is the sequel to Demon, if you don’t remember that episode then all the better for you to be surprised by this one. Its a full crew eventually this week and we can’t wait to hear if Geno digs this sequel. We read feedback for Dark Frontier and an ITunes review. Let us know your thoughts on the episode and the show.

This week on TDQ, we are presented with a story that no one was interested in or cared about (and if you were interested Matt doesn’t wanna know you): the lovelife escapades of Harry Kim and the Voyager alien STD episode The Disease! Aside from a certain first officer in Season 7, is there any other romance on Voyager (or Star Trek for that matter) that is as dull and uncomfortable to watch as this one? Will Matt be able to survive this week’s episode without exploding? Join the TDQ crew along with special guest Colin of Trek.fm’s Melodic Treks to find out, and be sure to let us know your thoughts on the forum. Now if you’ll excuse me, after watching this episode, I need a drink….

This week we review Dark Frontier, an exciting two part episode.  Seven of Nine reflects on her childhood and chooses her path.  Matt has a special assignment for our listeners this week. Stop by the forums and let us know what you think!

This week, the TDQ guys review Bliss! It’s a Seven, Doctor, Naomi episode about a wormhole home!  Spoilers, it’s not a wormhole.

We are joined this week by the famed Commander Firbob to discuss Vulcans, love and the finer points of crab spiders. Give a listen to Firbob’s brain child Pathfinder…teasers available on all Trekmate feeds…and join in on the fun. We read feedback for Latent Image with minor temporal disruptions and keep a close ear out for that scooby doo scream. Just a warning for all the audiophiles out there, this episode is a bit rough, your patience and forgiveness is appreciated.

PATHFINDER Episode 1 – “A Grain of Truth” The USS pathfinder is launched with a new crew. Its first mission is a routine investigation into an outbreak of food poisoning on Henry’s Planet. But someone on Sherman’s Planet has other ideas and kidnaps Dr Mark! Can Captain Firbob and the crew of the Pathfinder stop the next shipment of poisoned grain from reaching Henry’s Planet? Will they be able to save Dr Mark from freezing to death? What will the Quantum Slipstream Drive sound like? Join, Commander Banik, Lieutenant Commander S’Nark, Dr Mark, Chief Engineer Stout, Lieutenant Wesson, Lieutenant Zethroid and Lieutenant Radlova to find out. Due to arrive on your Mp3 listening devices on the 4th March…   Be afraid… be very afraid!

This week we review the episode Bride of Chaotica! A cast member returns and a full panel discussion ensues. Whether you like the Holodeck or not, whether you like 30’s serials or not, this episode is one of Voyagers finest and is must see TV. So listen up cause you can’t say nothing…You’ll shut me down with a push of your button? But yo I’m out and I’m gone …I’ll tell you know I keep it on and on.

This week on The Delta Quadrant, we review Latent Image.  We are joined by special guest Darren from Dr. Scifi and Earl Grey Podcasts, both of the TrekFM network.  It’s a beautiful episode, full of Philosophical reflection galore!  Stop by the forum and let us know what you think!

This week on The Delta Quadrant, we review Jeri Ryan’s acting tour-de-force, aka Infinite Regress! Seven of Nine develops the Borg equivalent of Multiple Personality Disorder thanks to a malfunctioning Borg vinculum. Will the crew be able to shut down the errant vinculum before Seven is gone? Will Matt be able to restrain himself from singing praises of Jeri Ryan’s acting ability? (The answer is no) Tune in to find out, and be sure to let us know what you thought of the episode! P.S. Because I was put in such a good mood by this episode, stick around for a little something extra at the end of the show.

Because the listeners asked for it (or at least because Sina did), Commander Firbob wrote, starred, edited and produced a Christmas Special!  Firbob, aka Paul Wright, coerced, I mean convinced, his sons Isaac and Dominic, to participate in the show, along with Emma and Paul Finch from Previously in the Alpha Quadrant, Melissa, Matt and Geno from the Delta Quadrant, Marc from Trek Mate, Fez from the Wilderness, Brian from the Lou Trek Show, and Sina, your friendly bartender. Many, many thanks to all involved for their participation, as Firbob could not have done it without everyone (or he would still be making the show).  We hope you enjoy! You can reach everyone (except for the Wright boys and Melissa, who is a Twitter Luddite) at: @firbob1 @emmamfinch @paulvfinch @mhansen0207 @RaktaGeno @marcstamper @fezzic @briancbaker1 @queenkatblue
