The Tower of Dour earns his name as Peter hates on "Crossfire", an episode Joseph thinks is very good and didn't do anything wrong. We dig deep on legitimiate flaws - Shakaar kinda sucks - but is Sad Odo really as bad as Peter says? Or is Joseph right that this is a unique episode demonstrating the character's depth? Listen and decide for yourself!
When Sisko runs the old Lion in Winter play and Odo lays down karate chops, your hosts go deep on everything from the anatomy of coups to cadet jawlines as we review "Paradise Lost"! This episode really has everything – betrayal, deceit, plucky trickster 'Miles', real coffee, and the true opening moves to a story that is just beginning.
Your hots continue their in depth discussion of the the trials of utopia as we conclude our discussion of "Homefront"! We confront many of the key questions DS9 seeks to ask as we consider if the Federation - and especialy Earth - has gone soft. Starfleet might see a lot of space madness, but the people of Earth didn't sign up for this! As 24th Century security theater begins, we ask if the Changelings are here to destroy the planet, or merely make it betray itself.
Your hosts begin to tackle the most seismic shift of Berman-era Trek as we begin our review of "Homefront". In this first part of our discussion we tackle a number of fundamental issues with Starfleet, the nature of the Dominion threat, the ability (or willingness) of a pacifist Federation to accept the necessity of war, and why in the world Dax committing a Breaking and Entering is somehow the B plot of this episode.
Joseph is shaken, but Peter is not stirred as we review the episode made for your wyes only, "Our Man Bashir". While one host is oriented towards letting it live, the other might as well let it die! When Garak gets insight into Bashir's fantasy life, it sure is a a view to a kill, as the good doctor enjoys is Octopussy, but soon a space dilema hits where the crew will infact not live twice...but only once! With one character definitely playing a spy who loves him, our trusty duo may not have a license to kill anyone, but they will definitely will prove that on Deep Space Nine, it's no time to die (in the holosuite). Also Peter does not like Bond movies.
Good news everyone, Dax finally has some agency, it's just in someone else's plot as we review "The Sword of Khaless"! What could have been a very good an interesting idea is utterly wasted by absurdly rushing it as Kor, Worf, and Dax have their little adventure together. Turns out the major cplaint we had with this one is the same complaint the had back in 1995, so some things never change!
Nothing quite like a below rate Ferengi Nonsense Episode to get your hosts talking about litterally anything else as we do our best to review "Little Green Men". After discussing the true A plot of Ferengi racisim, we don't have much to say about this goofball slop. However, if you want our deep opinions about Star Trek: United, this is absolutly the episode for you!
Once perma-locked behind our Patreon walls, sometimes the ediotr of this podcast needs a break....which means sometimes years old content can make it's debut on the grand stage! Years ago, your hosts followed up on the strangest in-joke our show ever had about a single Season 5 episode of Voyager and bad mid 90's comic book films and reviewed "Tank Girl"! Your hosts really did not enjoy this. We may not have been sober at the time of recording. But it may very well be the funniest things we have ever said on the internet.
