Rebinge Deep Space Nine

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 23 of Deep Space Nine: Family Business. We were not super thrilled with this ridiculous episode - maybe it was too much a product of its time or maybe it wasn't even good enough for its time! Whatever the reason, this one isn't a good look for Trek. There's a lot of nonsense in this episode reminding us about the Ferengi laws against women making a profit, leaving their homes and even wearing clothes. It's a little hard to swallow. It's a lot hard to tolerate. You've probably noticed, our podcast is very short as there was only so much time we were willing to devote to this topic.

In this episode, Quark learns that his mother is up to "no good" back on Ferenginar. She's been wearing clothes and making money. So Rom and Quark turn up to convince her to confess and give back everything she's earned. This episode is ridiculous. I have no further comment.

It's a re-watch of a thing you've already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 22 of Deep Space Nine: Explorers. Sisko is on a mission to build a space ship out of wood and prove some ancient Bajoran legends may have actually been truths. And that jerk Dukat is here to try and convince him not to bother. But never fear, Sisko has a goatee and he will not be stopped.

In this episode, Sisko turns up with a goatee and we couldn't be happier about it. He's also got a new hobby - he's found some plans for an ancient spaceship that Bajorans supposedly flew and he wants to build one! Not everyone thinks this is a great idea, but he does it anyway! And he sets out with Jake on a relatively perilous journey toward Cardassia. We've also got a B story of Julian and the woman who beat him out of the valedictorian title in school (how old are you when you stop worrying about being valedictorian? Come on Julian, give it up.). In the podcast we discuss all kinds of things including taking your kid on dangerous trips, Cardassians being jerks, wearing costumes to Comic-Con, and the concept of being homesick (James doesn't get it).

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 21 of Deep Space Nine: The Die is Cast, Part II. Garak finds himself back in the Order, Sisko is planning to rescue Odo and suck-up Snodgrass is up to no good. We've got torture, we've got sabotage we've got surprise changelings and we've got mimosas! This episode has a lot to unpack! We wrap up our over-analysis of this two-parter with our guest host and local artist Attiba Royster! Attiba is here as a big DS9 fan and an even bigger Garak fan! And he's also here to plug his artwork and new podcast Teebs & Kid Phoenix VS. Check it out!

Last week ended with Garak enthusiastically jumping back into his old life while Odo seemed to be in a perilous situation on Tain's ship. In this episode, Sisko is on a mission (against Starfleet's orders) to rescue Odo from Tain's clutches. The usual crew (plus Snodgrass/Eddington) gas up the Defiant and head into the Gamma Quadrant in search of their friend. Meanwhile Garak slips into some old habits of trying to torture answers out of someone...but this is much more than he bargained for as he watches Odo crumble before his eyes. While he seems so sure of himself at the beginning of the episode when he's sipping Mimosa's with his "dad" but by the end, he's not feeling so great about his place in the Order.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 20 of Deep Space Nine: Improbable Cause, Part I. We are very happy to report this is a two-parter with Garak at the center! And if that's not great enough to suck you in, we also have a guest host in local artist and DS9 fan Attiba Royster! Attiba is here to help us break down some intense Garak content and also to plug his artwork and new podcast Teebs & Kid Phoenix VS. Check it out!

We open with a literal bang when there is an explosion in Garak's shop. This sends Garak and Odo into a mysterious investigation as they search for an assassin but uncover a complex conspiracy. These two deserved their own spinoff detective series in the 90s...but alas...never happened. Odo just wants some honest answers from Garak and Garak just wants to know who is trying to kill him (without revealing anything whatsoever about himself). Meanwhile they end up smack in the middle of some Cardassian / Romulan shenanigans.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 19 of Deep Space Nine: Through the Looking Glass. Yassss! Back to the Mirrorverse! This time it's Sisko who gets pulled into the dark other world by Mirror Miles who has rigged a device to just beam across! Who knew it was so easy?? We've got some bumpy stuff in this episode with a woefully done-wrong-by Dax and some questionable acting by one of the guest stars...but we also get Leather Kira, cowboy Sisko and cranky Garak, so maybe it's not so bad.

We knew Miles was up to something when he turned up in Ops in a new outfit that was not his uniform, his rebel outfit or his sexy Keiko-only outfit. And we were right...this is not our beloved Chief, it's Mirror Miles and he's come to kidnap Sisko. So Sisko finally gets a taste of the Mirrorverse and at first he's not so thrilled to be there, but then he finds out that his wife Jennifer is still around in this universe. So he thinks you know what, maybe I'll hang out here a bit and he embarks on a mission to save Jennifer from herself and the Alliance.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 18 of Deep Space Nine: Oh My Tennis Balls! Just kidding....it's time for Distant Voices. In this episode we talk about Lutherans, muppets and tennis balls (there are a lot of tennis balls). We also get a look deep into the crevices of Julian's brain...and it turns out those crevices really aren't that deep.

Julian meets an unpleasant Lutheran...or was it Lethian...who is trying to acquire an illegal medical substance. When Julian doesn't help, the alien attacks him sending him into a trap inside of his own mind (that looks a lot like the station). While Julian runs around the nearly abandoned station he encounters Garak playing tennis, Miles who is afraid of his own shadow and tennis balls falling from panels. In addition to scary flickering lights, disappearing crew mates and flying tennis balls, Julian is rapidly aging into a balcony-sitting muppet.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 17 of Deep Space Nine: Visionary. We've got Romulans hanging out on the station while Miles is experiencing some shifts in time. The Romulans are their usual boring, brooding selves while they try poking at everyone to learn about the Dominion. Meanwhile Miles is tortured by future events that do not play out well for him.

The Romulans are here to get some info on the Dominion (in exchange for their ropey cloaking device). They're questioning everyone and deliberately getting Kira all riled up. Meanwhile, Miles keeps jumping ahead in time seeing varying degrees of awful things happen to his future self. It's one thing to see yourself in danger in a bar fight, but another to see your own corpse under a sheet! Bashir doesn't seem to be worried enough about what's happening and it's starting to irritate Miles. What's a chief to do but save the day and keep everyone else from being killed!

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 16 of Deep Space Nine: Prophet Motive. The Grand Nagus is back and so, obviously, is Wallace Shawn! When the Nagus acts uncharacteristically generous and kind, Quark and Rom try to figure out what's wrong with him before he gets them all killed.

The Nagus makes an unexpected appearance on the station and takes over Quark's quarters. This all seems quite normal until he presents the new rules of acquisition which seem to be the exact opposite of all of the existing rules! Give people their money back? Latinum tarnishes, but family is forever? What is happening!? Quark starts a quest to find out who or what broke his beloved greedy Nagus.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 15 of Deep Space Nine: Destiny. A joint Cardassian/Bajoran/Starfleet scientific project results in a Bajoran vedek (played by Erick Avari) arriving at the station with a prophecy of doom and gloom. Sisko is pushed to consider his status as Emissary of the Prophets vs his official position as a Starfleet Officer.

Some Cardassian scientists (played by Wendy Robie and 90s icon Tracy Scoggins) arrive at the station to work on a communications relay to pass sensor information through the wormhole. Meanwhile, Vedek Yarka drops by to let Sisko know that if he goes through with this project, the wormhole will be destroyed and the prophets will be lost to Bajor forever. No biggie. This situation forces Kira to face up to her views on Sisko as the Emissary and her position on faith vs duty.

Oh and we find that Miles continues to be irresistible to female scientists of all races. Insert eye roll emoji.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 14 of Deep Space Nine: Heart of Stone. Kira and Odo get into serious trouble while on a field trip....uhh....I mean away mission. They get stranded on a moon orbiting a gas giant in the Badlands. Have we seriously not learned to avoid moons on this show!? Kira's life hangs in the balance as Odo tries desperately to save her. And we have a special guest appearance by Salome Jens as the scary founder woman.

We start out the episode with Kira inexplicably forgetting that Odo should be able to make his own decisions - so they have a little spat on the shuttle before chasing a Maquis fugitive to this dangerous moon. Down on the moon, they end up in big trouble when Kira gets her foot stuck in an expanding, indestructible crystal. Odo does everything he can to free her from the crystal and get off of this moon where nothing works as it should.

Meanwhile back on the station, Nog tries to bribe his way into Starfleet because he doesn't want to end up like his dad.
