AGT 192: Fear Factor pt 6: Empok Nor
Kelvin, Kristin, & Christos are back to discuss . . .
This week on All Good Things, hosts Kelvin, Kristin, and Christos head deep into the shadows of Deep Space Nine with a chilling look at “Empok Nor” — the scariest sibling station in the quadrant. What starts as a routine salvage mission quickly spirals into a nightmare when Garak gets a dose of danger… and murder.We’re diving into:

🧠 The Star Trek approach to the insanity plea – how often do our faves get a legal slap on the wrist (or not even that)?
🔫 Was O’Brien’s “kill or be killed” instinct justified? Or was this PTSD at warp speed?
👔 The “Beware the Nice Ones” trope – is Garak really just a tailor?
🧵 Hidden trauma, hidden motives, and hidden phasers… plus trivia, laughs, and a reminder that no one ever followed up on poor Ensign Dern.

This is Part VI of our Fear Factor series, following episodes like The Haunting of Deck 12, The Thaw, and All Those Who Wander. Buckle up.
