DS9 Time with Jo and Thomas

The staff of the DS9 get paid a visit by the oldest scrotum in the galaxy!  If that doesn't whet your appetite, you can take a peak into the not so distant future holo-whore business and tremble along with a 90s dad's deepest fear of having a son in the closet.  Confused?  Well welcome to the decimal episode of both DS9 and DS9 Time with Jo and Thomas!  Leave a comment on iTunes or whatever and we'll probably reveal our shock on the show!

DS9 Episode 9:  Move Along Home

Stop.  Take a breath.  You're safe now.  We know you've had a hard time, but just focus on the good things in life.  Star Trek: Deep Space 9 breaks new ground on delivering a new cosmic shit that leaves us all nonplussed.  Low-effort aliens, bizarre character decisions, and maybe the worst non-ending TV ending ever executed in TV history all makes for a classic DS9 watching / podcasting experience.  The comic book guy makes a come back and new sidestory seeds are planted which doubtfully will sprout into anything.  Klong Piggs, Hop Scotch, Shapp...games...words.....sounds.......nothing.

DS9 Episode 8:  The Passenger

After a loooong break episode 8 comes in hot!  With the gang on DS9 having to deal once again with that pesky but reliable nuisance of a random alien showing up and sabotaging the station.  Odo the amorphous stick up everyone's ass turns out doesn't appreciate the taste of his own medicine.  O'Brien's on vacay, Dax says science, and Sisko likes you - and needs you. Also, what do you do when you happen to witness a spontaneous casual execution?  Apparently you just shrug your shoulders and go on living your life.  Bon appetit!

DS9 Episode 6:  Q-Less

As if the station didn't have enough to deal with - Q talks shit and gets hit OOOOOOoooooooh!!!  We learn about Nielsen ratings and MacGuffin devices.  It turns out Bashir is a smooth talkin' douche afterall, and nobody can seem to remember who O'Brien is or what he's doing there.  In the end, what can we all really take away from this episode?  Quarkgasm. 

DS9 Episode 5:  Captive Pursuit

O'Brien meets his new froggy boyfriend and throwback night-rider dweebs come a'knockin.  Sisko:  What... would y'say...y'do here??  Quark gets accused of sexual misconduct, and O'Brien gives the middle finger to the prime directive, but who really gives a shit right?  Keira, Dax, and the doctor all have 1 line while we wonder on Earth what kind of psychopaths actually enjoyed watching this pile of shit-show.  Enjoy!

DS9 Episode 4:  Babel

A strain of ball-busting takes over the station threatening the office dynamic of mediocrity and lackluster work.  Sisko likes his coffee black and / or hot, Kiera uses kidnapping against a bio-terrorist, and Quark finally fucks the smirk right off Odo's smug amorphous face.  In this episode, the future of humanity must deal with a contagious and deadly virus but apparently has learned nothing from their 2020 ancestors!  

DS9 Episode 2:  A Man Alone

The boys tackle the controversial topic of racism. in. Spaaaaace.  O'Brien's balls get busted and is Sisko really trying to chat up his fatherly-hot-new-trans-old good buddy?  Apparently everyone has to spin the wheel of disgruntled DS9 staffers, and this week's winner is: Odo.  Tune in to hear the sciencey stuff that solves the classic mystery plot device of: murder in the massage parlour!

DS9 Episode 3:  Past Prologue

Well right from the start there's confusion as to whether or not we actually watched the second episode.  Major Kira gets manhandled and Commander Sisko shows none of his recently found charm and joie de vivre unlocked in the last episode.  Also there probably was a rat wrangler on set.  

Our first try at podcasting about a show neither of us know very much about!  It's Star Trek: Deep Space 9 for those of us who gave it a chance and quickly changed the channel and never looked back - until now nearly 20 years later!

Star Trek DS9 Episode 1:  Emissary

Similar to most of the characters introduced in the first episode, we felt confused, irritable, and wanting to get the hell out of there.  Right from the start we're left wondering if studying this show was a good idea or not...
