"Armageddon Game"

Following centuries of war, a race called the Kelleruns and another apparently named after Vulcans, the T'Lani, enlist the help of Doctor Bashir and Chief O'Brien to destroy their remaining stockpile of weapons. Of course the Starfleet officers are successful—how could they not be with Bashir's genetically enhanced mind and Miles's everyman know-how—but things turn dark when the two former enemies team up to kill everyone with any knowledge of how the weapons worked, including Miles and Jules.

In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss "Armageddon Game" and how it lays the foundation for the strong friendship between Miles and Julian that has been brewing for a while. We also talk about the realism of the O'Brien's marriage, the original concept for the episode, the danger of eliminating knowledge, and the need to verify facts before jumping to conclusions in a world where media can easily be manipulated to show something that didn't really happen.
