We test out a recipe for a VERY alcoholic Raktajino!

Friday Night Live Star Trek Chat

You all kept asking so we have delivered. Every Friday night at 21:00 UTC during Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery we will host a Friday night livestream chat to share our reaction to the episode, speculate what is happening all whilst indulging in Star Trek themed cocktails!

To make it a bit different from all the rest we're trying to keep it around 30 - 45 mins long and to include the following segments:

=^= Trek themed Cocktails
=^= Trek-Bounding ideas (normal attire trekified)
=^= What The Spock!?
=^= Who's Meme is that anyway?
=^=Disco Star of the week.

Our first livestream was a lot of fun as we discussed Angels, red signals and how to make Jippers (minus a beach). We currently stream to Facebook Live but hoping to stream to our Continue Reading ››

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz1zDXFeonU&]

 

We discuss the 'Picard announcement' and what we hope to see with a disclaimer that WE TOTALLY WON'T LAWYER UP IF THIS HAPPENS!
We talk about Season two of Star Trek Discovery and our Trek Goals - what we are doing to survive from one Star Trek Convention to the next.
We bought our T-Shirts from Chase Masterson to support the Pop Culture Hero Coalition.

Season One Final – Will You Take My Hand Review

WHAT AN EPISODE! What an incredible first season.

Star Trek Discovery Crew - Will you take my hand

The first season of Star Trek Discovery was in our opinion the strongest opening of any Star Trek series.

The story about the soldier and the general which Burham narates was the perfect analogy for the first season. Burham experiences fear (the encounter with the Klingon) which creates a chain of events that happens very fast. Her actions to protect her Captain can be explained when we learn how her parents were killed by Klingons and the maternal relationship she has with Georgiou.

Looking back we realise how much empathy we have had with Burnham. We have been on this crazy journey with her. Michael and the crew have been on a warp speed, spore speed, non stop race against some deadly foes, they have been deceived, hurt and manipulated since day one. … Continue Reading ››

Fresh from watching Star Trek Discovery "Despite Myself" the Trekkie Girls share their reaction to this AMAZING episode. In our usual style we have some theories including:

  • What's Stamets deal?
  • What role will L'Rell play?
  • Which Mirror universe episodes should Trekkies In Training watch?
  • Who is dead or alive?
  • Voq/Tyler speculation

 

 

The Vulcan Hello + Battle at the Binary Stars Review

Whilst we are a bit late posting it (seriously this is why we don't podcast!) we were quick to meet up and discuss our thoughts on the first two episodes of Star Trek Discovery.

In short, we were blown away! The characters, the visuals, the story, the very concept that STAR TREK IS BACK!! There was too much to talk about in the brief time we had, but here's our initial thoughts.

Fedcon Day 2 overview Pt1

 

 

The Trekkie Girls are at Fedcon for a second day, attending talks, visiting dealer stands and getting merry with fellow trekkies!

See our first impressions here 

LeVar Burton

Normally at events we're screaming at the alarm clock at 6 am but Fedcon is chill! After a nice lay in we head to the LeVar Burton talk. All Trekkie have one thing on their mind at the moment - Star Trek Discovery and a lot of questions relate to it. LeVar was very open to working on the series.

After listening to LeVar speak for a while he seemed to remind us more and more of Geordi La Forge. He has that same calming sensitivity, intellect and optimism. So Sam decided to ask him he felt he had the closest personality to his character out of all the TNG cast. LeVar agreed although also felt Patrick Stewart was close with Picard and quipped "Patrick could be grumpy … Continue Reading ››
