Andy's questions about the Trill are answered, but that only brings more questions that Matt doesn't have the answer to.

DS9 s2e25 “Tribunal” Matt obsesses over an apparent time traveler from the 1970s, and Andy enjoys a cavalcade of funny characters in this exploration of the Cardassian legal system.  Remember folks, winning isn’t everything!  As this podcast proves.

DS9 s2e25 “Tribunal”

Is this episode a nuanced tale of political intrigue or b-b-b-boring?  Or both?  Andy sings the praises of Louise Fletcher’s villain who makes Nurse Ratched seem palatable, the boys debate Vedek Bareil’s pecs.

DS9 s2e24 “The Collaborator”

It's a trip back to Mirror Town, and one of our hosts loves it and one hates it! But will they be replaced by a reverse version of themselves by the end? Also: what does it take to kill a goo man?

DS9 s2e23 “Crossover” - a semi funny Star Trek podcast currently about TV's Deep Space Nine

A tour de force from recurring character Garak in bizarrely play-like long scenes hooks Andy and Matt, as Mr. Fasc-tastic (Mr. Fascistastic?  Mr. Fascistic?) Odo checks the cameras he's hidden all around DS9.  

[Episode discussion begins around  58:00, takes a Letterman detour, then actually begins at 1:06ish]

DS9 s2e22 “The Wire”

The second part of this Maquis de Sade-centric two-parter, one of the few Treks to follow the possible Best of Both Worlds/Godfather II template of 2 being better than 1.  To Andy's shock, Odo show the Mr. Fantastic powers he always assumed he was hiding, and Dukat starts to live up to his (future) legend.
