In "The Vortex," Odo finds out just a little bit more about his origins from a scruffy stranger. Sisko fails at diplomatic relations with an isolationist people. And Matt and Briar kinda just aren't feeling it.

Also: Is the twinned Miradorn phenomenon cultural or telepathic? Why are Faberge eggs so highly valued in space? Is there an ethical dilemma in using a single-cell colony of mimetic organisms as a key? We can't answer these questions canonically, but we're starting to gather up questions for our Season 1 retrospective and Q&A episode! Send questions and comments to: [email protected]
