Necessary Evil! What starts out as an attempted murder of Quark leads Odo and Kira on a Colombo-esque blast to the past, all the way back to when Gul Dukat was in charge and Deep Space Nine was Terok Nor, and all the way back to a murder mystery Odo was never able to close. Follow us as we take a fascinating look at a much more inexperienced Odo, a colder Terok Nor, and a hotter Kira with a ponytail!

Attached! Finally, after 7 season of "will they, won't they," Picard and Beverly finally reveal their feelings to each other. Well, at least Picard does, Beverly kinda just goes to bed afterwards. What do they actually want for each other? How did Picard actually feel about Jack? What were his feelings for Beverly? Did Beverly know or care? And finally, will they or won't they?

Dark Page! The episode that inexplicably was not named "Dark Place" despite multiple characters saying "Dark Place" and not "Dark Page." Though I can understand why Star Trek was afraid to compete with Garth Marenghu. In any case, this is the episode famous for featuring Kirsten Dunst and revealing that Deanna had an older sister that passed away when she was just a little babby. But our hosts didn't know that! So how do they respond to such revelations?!

Melora! Star Trek's re-attempt at telling a story about a disabled person! Because the original writer of this episode, Evan Carlos Somers, definitely didn't like the portrayal of disability in Ethics. Y'know, the one with Worf and the barrel. Does DS9 handle such topics better than TNG? Let's dive in and find out!

Phantasms! That's right. The Deanna cake episode. And it comes with a new shirt from us! And also a bunch of other really seemingly random imagery that becomes over-explained by the time the episode wraps. But hey, it's fun to see Data answer a phone call from his chest, or see Beverly drink out Riker's brains through a straw, or seeing Sigmund Freud tell Data to kill them all. Y'know, the usual.
