Andy and Jessica talk:

* BDSM helmets and Cardassian makeup

* Action vs. meetings

* Clunkiness between O’Brien and Keiko

* Singing in Star Trek

* Everyman characters

* Proving you are right being more important than taking lives

* Specism. Or xenophobia. Or something.

* War. It messes soldiers up.

* Maxwell did it all wrong. Would Picard have done it better?

* Iconic episodes (and hardcore fans) can be intimidating

* Deep Space 9 prep

Jessica's Rating

3 of 5 Cardassian Headgear Helmets

Andy’s Suggestions

For background on Deep Space 9:

* Chain of Command, parts 1 and 2. (Season 6, episode 11) Wherein we believe the Cardassians are building weapons and Picard goes on a special mission and Riker deals with a new captain.

* Ensign Ro. (Season 5, episode 3) We learn about the Bajorans through, you guessed it, Ensign Ro.
