Episode 28 – Emissary (Parts 1 & 2)

Andy and Jessica talk:

* This is a whole new thing and we aren't moving on every week
* Long story arcs
* All the new characters. And O'Brien.
* The command structure on the station
* The way Star Trek actors know how to bump and shake
* Sisko's a lot darker than the previous captains
* We're not sure about what's going on with the wormhole aliens
* Majel Barrett-Roddenberry's voice is beloved universe-wide
* We might get things wrong because we're more new to this space station and more familiar with TNG and TOS

Andy’s Suggestions
We want to learn more about these new characters! These are Andy's best of season 1 picks:

* Captive Pursuit (Season 1, episode 6) - the first time we encounter an alien from the wormhole and O'Brien develops a relationship with it.
* Q Less (Season 1, episode 7) - Q joins the team for just this one episode and gets punched right in the face.
* Battle Lines (Season 1, episode 13) - Kai Opaka joins a mission to the gamma quadrant and we discover factions at war, but they do not die.
