Episode 2: Art Trek

How much of the Holonovels are designed by humans vs AI? Do the holostories get upgraded over time? Did Troi play cowboys in the holodeck as a child? Why doesn’t Beverly talk about her dancing? For Data’s parents, how much do they see him as their artwork versus child? Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we wax poetic about TNG’s Holonovels, Poetry, Dance, and Paintings in Part 1 of our TNG Art Trek episode. 

SPOILER ALERT: The Next Generation and First Contact 

This is the second episode of our Art Trek series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the art aspects of every Star Trek show, starting with the Original Series and ending with Strange New Worlds. 

Next time, we’ll be headed to rehearsal with Doctor Crusher, as we discuss Art in the Next Generation part 2!

TNG Part I: Fiction Expert dies by Fiction!

What happened in the 6th century BCE? Can a non-human (robot? dog?) have a soul? Does God’s time move from the past to the future? Is the present, in a sense, always avant-garde? How are bureaucratic orders made to perpetuate in time? How does a common person today understand the yugas? Who has the ‘need’ to think about the future? How are different time periods squeezed into a single register in art? Why do we invoke ramrajya? Do ideal types constrain how far (& ‘how’) one can think of the future? What did women joining the Buddhist sanghas (not) cause? Could science fiction become a historical artefact? Is a ‘genius’ science fiction writer akin to a ‘genius’ scientist? Is religion all about survival? Are religion, art and politics interwoven in the pharaoh? Are the pyramids, megaliths, Stonehenge, & the Chinese burial pits for the immediate afterlife of the dead or the future of those later alive? Are genealogies often invented? Is there a part of us that ‘needs’ to believe? Do we wish that the future were pre-ordained? Do we inhabit multiple temporalities? &, when is the messiah coming (back)? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from art history (Dr. Shailka Mishra, Jagdish and Kamla Mittal Museum of Indian Art, Hyderabad), theology (Prof. Ori Z. Soltes, Georgetown University, Washington DC), & ancient history (Dr. Meera Visvanathan, Shiv Nadar University, Greater Noida). Listen in...

#TSOFF (The Susurrus Of Former Futures) --- SynTalk

Allison Rentz is an LPC and the author of the new book Among the Wildflowers.  Allison's book is a guided journal walking the reader through different ways to explore mental health and begin a look into their own lives.  In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Allison and I talk about what it means to be a Wildflower, when it's a good thing, and when it's not.  We also spend a little time playing with my pet theory on how Star Trek: Picard discusses generational trauma.

HTP #190 - Allison Rentz

"Enterprise" has left infurating war crimes behind and has gone back to the familiar comfort of dull and copying older "Trek". In parts two and three of a story that did NOT need to be a three-parter, the Augments go on a rampage and Soong realizes maybe he did, in fact, do a bad thing by unleashing them on the galaxy. Join us, won't you, for "Cold Station 12" and "The Augments".
Also this week: too many nods, a pointless brother, and B'Elanna!
[Timestamps: Cold Augment Dozen: 00:36; Torres: 54:21]
[note: minor spoilers for "Picard" S.2, but honestly that's probably the worst of the seasons of that show so who cares?]

Episode 8: Art Trek

Will we have inescapable popup ads in the future? Does Section 31 Moriarty have rights? Do you also dream of Data painting in a field? Was Data painting a daughter who looked like Lul? Did Bruce Maddox base Doj & Soji after his painting? Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we discuss the art in Picard!

SPOILER ALERT: Star Trek Picard

This is the eighth episode of our Art Trek series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the art aspects of every Star Trek show, starting with the Original Series and ending with Strange New Worlds. 

Next time, we’ll be headed to the Cerritos to check out the art that appears in Lower Decks!

PIC: Moriarty Sings “What Was I Made For?”

Somehow we've made it: after a little over 8 years and hundreds of episodes we've covered all the "Trek" that aired on broadcast TV from 1966-2005. Before we jump to the next phases of the franchise, we thought we'd take a little time to have a more general discussion about everything that got us here. It's a broad overview where we re-cover the camp and cardboard sets of the 60s, the renaissance of the film and TNG eras, and the great 90s spinoffs! Also "Enterprise" is there.
Also this week: our favorite cameo host, the most Kirk, and Caitlin on the ENT finale!

Ten Forward 41: Trektrospective

Ryan Thomas Riddle is an accomplished writer and podcaster.  He's a valued member of the Star Trek community, and today he comes to Hungry Trilobyte to discuss Star Trek: Oath-- a fan script that made a bang with Stunt List 2024 and became the most downloaded entry.  The script also has the merit of being done on a challenge from Dr. Beverly Crusher herself, Gates McFadden.

HTP #194 - Ryan Thomas Riddle

Well. We weren't sure what exactly to expect going into William Shatner's other foray into "Trek" documentary making, "The Captains", but we definitely weren't expecting THIS. Join us as The Shat turns everything into a self-serving therapy session, especially with Patrick Stewart! Gape in horror at the mind-numbing misogyny he spews in front of Kate Mulgrew! Be pleasantly surprised by how darn personable Bakula is! Blink and you'll miss Chris Pine! And wonder, forever, if Avery Brooks is messing with Shatner or if he's genuinely that odd!
Also this week: Shut up, Bill. Please. Really. Just...just shut up, for the love of God, let your subjects speak! Lord.

New episodes every Thursday!

Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. 

Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary.

The Duras Sisters Podcast is all about honoring the fantastic characters and storylines in the Star Trek Universes. Two sisters, Ashlyn and Rhianna Herd, join the House of Duras and partake in weekly discussions about every series of Star Trek through a philosophical lens and Series Theme. 

Each series will feature a theme and every new episode will travel from the Original Series to Prodigy, diving deeply into each detail of this epic franchise. We have covered these series: Pilot, Family, Love and Affection, Time Travel, Villains, Movies, Feminism, Death Fake Outs, First Officers, and the current Spooky series. 

This podcast is the Star Trek fix you didn't know you needed, brought to you by the sisters who are as close as Lursa and B'etor themselves… except we survived Generations.
