Episodes
There's a spy aboard Defiant and everybody's got an excuse to act weird! And we see one of Andy's favorite complaints about Odo be proven right - he should be T2-ing and Mr. Fantastic-ing all over the place!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:06]
Jadzia meets her other hosts, and it's a sketch character showcase! Always wanted to meet Curzon? Well don't forget about Odo! But maybe forget about Curzon?
[Episode discussion begins around 57:00]
Kai Winn continues to be one of the most duplicitous, unpalatable, self-serving, hypocritical leaders in Trek history - whew! Thank goodness it's just sci-fi.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:12]
We're goin' to Feringinar! Quark and Rom hit the Ferengi homeworld to SETTLE SOME BUSINESS! Is this a second downbeat episode in a row? Is the next one gonna be Bashir and Dax go to a thrift shop? Anyhoo, Matt tallies up the Andy-points but can the episode go latinum?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:07]
Ben and Jake sail through the universe powered by the ultimate B plot! Or is it just a plot? Meanwhile, Matt hasn't been feeling well and Andy's got a Thomas Riker-sized existential crisis, but so what else is new?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:21, also trigger warning in the first 20 min for those sensitive to hearing about, um...tummy issues]
Garak goes full Obsidian Order, Odo needs a moisturizing routine, Eddington secures his place as Cmdr. F This Guy, and Andy fights an even greater threat to a podcaster than the Dominion...a sneezing fit!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:16. And this is a HIDE YOUR NUTS ALERT! Due to a scheduling...mm, issue? The next drop will be middle of the month.]
It's a road trip with Garak and Odo (who we probably shouldn't forget about)! Will they solve the mysteries of what's happening on DS9? Or is Garak too much of a lazybones?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:30. 45ish - Disco Spoiler, 2:33 - possible later DS9 spoilers, although it’s mostly Andy musing]
It's a Mirror episode, and you know what that means! Andy's gonna like it and Matt's gonna hate it - OR will our opinions be mirror-universed too?? Sisko steps into the Mirror Universe and boy, is he sorta shrugsville about it. And his dead wife Jennifer is back! Oh man, can't wait to see how Sisko's gonna...huh, just sort of chill about it. But at least Bashir/Vantika is back! Which is basically Mirror Alliance Bashir.
[Ep...
Bashir grapples with aspects of himself...like his professionalism! And his great love of tennis! It kinda doesn't really go beyond that.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:23]
O'Brien goes all Back to the Future 2, Bashir kills him and doesn't seem to care, and Matt and Andy ask who's the real MVC? O'Brien...or O'Brien??
[Episode discussion begins around 1:14]
The Grand Nagus is acting kooky and it takes us several acts to find out why, but when we do, oh boy!.....we know then. But buckle up, because Dr. Bashir is nominated for an award, and Andy and Matt can't wait to hear who the other made-up nominees are! Several times. And someone's mispronouncing something, but you might be surprised who it's not.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:27! I wish I could say the digressio...
Our most requested Star Trek content is for us to finally cover the movies - of course it would take more motivated forces to get us to do it, and now you got one! Matt and Andy cover in detail STAR TREK: GENERATIONS - Shatner cooking eggs, Data giving a McCauley Culkin, "YES!" and Picard entering his greatest dream - a Dickens-style Christmas? With a wrap-up crossing of the streams with our Star Trek podcaster brethren fr...
The sparks fly between O'Brien and a filthy Cardie, while Andy asks how long we'll be watching Kira's new haircut, and Matt continues his lobbying for the Dominion.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:05ish]
Kira faces becoming a permanently encased-in-resin collectible as Odo reveals a hidden - or possibly already pretty obvious - truth! Meanwhile Sisko performs a one man intervention scene on Nog in Nog's best ep so far. [Episode discussion begins around 1:07. And you know what they say about the winter and nuts...it's a great time to eat heated ones!]
Kai Winn returns to DS9 with an evil...nothing? And Bareil sings his swansong as only he can...tediously.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:17]
The second part of DS9's eerie vision of the "past" (aka 2024) as Sisko continues to masquerade as "Bell, Gabriel Bell" (Bond theme) while Frank Military continues to be an intimidating criminal to no one.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:10]
In tense times, TNC is there to talk about episodes of Star Trek that throw back to exactly the same year with different tense times, but is that what they meant by the title? Also we ask the eternal question, "Is Frank Military a made-up name?"
[Episode discussion begins around 1:01]
Everybody's in love with everybody! Just like Naked Now, except crappy and with less sense! And also the return of the oozing non-sexuality of Bareil!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:30ish]
The crew of DS9 get a visit...from an old friend. OR IS IT?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:37ish]
Jadzia is hot for a bland douchebag, Quark tries to pull some Barclay creepology with Kira, and Andy has a new theory about Sisko.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:05ish]
