Trek Mate: Ten Forward

A Sina, a Chris and a Firbob walk into a bar and watch DS9 season 4 episode Return to Grace. You can watch with them if you like.   Or you could start an ant farm, return overdue library books, eat an extra large pizza, make a mess and refuse to tidy up or a multitude of different things, just use your imagination!!    

Words: Worst One Shot Romance. 1 Girl, 3 Boys = Explicit Potato, Book, Whip = Jarman I have to get up in 4 hours.  Goodnight.  

He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ring’d with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls. @tenforward1701 @queenkatblue @chriscantfly @robertreyes facebook.com/tenforwardpod

This week, in the lull before the storm of the 150th episode, Sina and Aunty Firbob read the feedback for the last few episodes. Bonus points for those who:  1.  Guess who’s talking in the first clip before the music starts; 2.  Guesses the name of the show in the second clip; and 3. Guesses the main cast member who was a guest on that show. You can tweet me with your answers @queenkatblue or @tenforward1701.

Paul, Chris and Damon Shaw gather at the bar to discuss the many types of animals, flora and fauna of the Star Trek universe, also we break off for an intriguing conversation about chairs and ergonomics.

This week is book club, or as Chris Mitchell would say:  BOOOOOOOK NEEEEEEEERDS!!!!  Paul, Sina and Scott return to the saga of the early days of the Federation by reviewing the book Rise of the Federation: Uncertain Logic by Christopher L. Bennet.  There are problems on Vulcan that Archer and T’Pol have to deal with, and Reed and Mayweather try to solve the mystery of the automated repairs stations seen on the Enterprise episode “Dead Stop.”   Let us know what you think about the book and the podcast.  

Robert Reyes joins the Sina, Paul and Chris to discuss episodes revolving around Transporter malfunctions, will our patterns be lost in the buffer? Will our molecules be scattered across space? Will we be mashed together into some sort of Rosinparis hybrid? No, because transporters are make believe. Share and enjoy

Paul and Chris are joined by podcast legend Mr Damon Shaw to discuss a completely random top 25 Trek Characters list that Paul found on the interwebs. We learn quite a lot, and you may too, though probably not. Damon can be found on twitter @Damons23 The show is @tenforward1701 Paul is short and round Chris is posting this at 1am Can you tell? Wibble

This week Sina and Chris welcome James aka “The Doc” from The Battle Bridge Podcast to Ten Forward.  We have a relaxing chat about Spain, futbol, England’s enemies, and oh yeah, the TNG episode “Allegiance.”  Join us at the bar for a round of drinks and some singing.  From Picard, not the hosts.

This week, Sina invites back Ruinous Ryan Porter with the Positively Nerdy podcast and Evil Dan Levitt to discuss some of their favorite moments in Trek.  What do you think about the moments that were chosen?  Also, should Ryan be banned from the bar for being a scrooge?

Well, we weren’t going to release an episode this week due to not recording on Easter weekend.  However, Sina twisted Firbob’s arm and we ended up doing a Feedback Episode.

This week, Sina, Paul and Scott discuss John Jackson Miller’s first full length Star Trek novel, Takedown.  In this book, which continues from The Fall series we discussed last year (but is a stand alone book), Admiral Will Riker goes rogue (don’t all admirals do this?), and  Jean Luc Picard and Ezri Dax have to stop him.  Why is Riker acting this way?  Will you guess?  Let us know what you think about the book and the podcast.
