Rebinge Deep Space Nine

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 21: The Maquis, Part 2. Last week's special guest star, Attiba Royster, joins us again to discuss the second part of this two-parter. Attiba is an artist and big Deep Space Nine fan and he's here to over-analyze Sisko, Cal, Herman Munster and Ugly Betty's Dad. In this episode, we see a reflection of the Sisko/Cal friendship as Sisko tries to keep the friendship together while Cal pulls farther and farther away.

Odo has found a connection between Quark and Sakonna (remember her from last week?) which helps the team surmise the next move of the Maquis. But first, they must rescue Gul Dukat, which is awfully easy. During the rescue attempt Dukat punches Sakonna in the face AGAIN (she must really dislike that guy). Next they aim to foil the Maquis attack plan on a nearby Cardassian colony. All the while this is going on, Sisko tries to get Cal back into his Starfleet uniform. Well...getting Cal into his Starfleet uniform works about as well as getting Sisko out of his Starfleet uniform in Paradise. In other words, not so much.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 20: The Maquis, Part 1. In this episode we have a special guest star! Attiba Royster, local artist (local to us) and big Deep Space Nine fan, drops by the podcast! He's here to discuss the two-episode arc introducing The Maquis. In Part 1, we meet Cal Hudson (played by Bernie Casey), an old friend of Sisko's who appears a bit disillusioned with the Cardassian treaty and not loving his new job in the DMZ. We learn some really important things in this episode - like opposites do not attract and there is not a thin line between love and hate (at least that's what Kim tells us, so it must be true).

This episode starts with somebody blowing up a Cardassian ship and ends with a kidnapping of Gul Dukat (honestly, they can keep him). But mostly the episode is full of a lot of shenanigans in the demilitarized zone which makes nobody happy. The Cardassians aren't happy to have Federation citizens in their territory and the Federation citizens aren't happy that they're getting slowly picked off one by one. Sisko's friend Cal isn't happy with his new crappy job and Sisko isn't happy that he has to spend more time with Gul Dukat. So overall, this treaty is not going well.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 19: Blood Oath. In this episode, we meet some very old Klingons played by actors who originated their roles in the original series! We meet Kor played by John Colicos, Koloth played by William Campbell and Kang played by Michael Ansara.

Kor, Kang and Koloth descend on the station to carry out a blood oath they took many years ago with Curzon Dax. They are surprised to find Curzon is now Jadzia and she still feels the obligation to seek vengeance against another old dude called The Albino. They try to release her from the oath, but she insists on coming along for the ride. Is today a good day to die?

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 18: Profit and Loss. In this episode, we have Cardassian fugitives who don't believe the government should be run by the military and Quark has a girlfriend. Everything is upside down! Special guest star Mary Crosby from "Who Shot JR?" fame stops by the station as Quark's Cardassian (!) ex to add to the long list of famous guest stars.

Some Cardassian fugitives are accidentally stranded on the station causing some consternation for Sisko. Not only are they fugitives, but one of them is an ex of Quark's and he seems prepared to give up his life on the station to follow her. For his trouble, she accidentally shoots him...but don't worry, everything is fine and she feels bad. Garak sees an opportunity to turn in the fugitives and regain favor with Cardassia...but alas...nothing is ever that easy on DS9.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 17: Playing God. In this episode Dax gets the dullest intern imaginable. Kira and Miles are trying to rid the station of Cardiassian voles and Sisko is forced into a life or death decision because we beamed something foreign onto the station. AGAIN.

This week we learn that Curzon is really King of the jerks. I mean maybe we knew that already, but we get more evidence when we find that he emotionally abused young people in the training program. Jadzia tries to break the cycle with her intern and she takes him on a ride through the wormhole where she learns that is as boring as dishwater. Also while flying around, they pick up some kind of seaweed or maybe gum on the outside of the ship. It turns out that it's not gum it's actually a proto-universe which they accidentally advanced by taking it through the wormhole. Ooooops! Now what do we do? Let it evolve and take over the Alpha Quadrant or throw it back where they found it and pretend like it never happened!?

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 16: Shadowplay. In this episode Odo and Dax happen upon a little village of people wearing funny hats and white robes. Their sensors aren't functioning as they try to figure out a mystery involving disappearing villagers. And we finally have some B-stories back at the station! We also have some familiar-faced guest stars in this episode in Kenneth Mars and Kenneth Toby.

Odo and Dax work together to solve the mystery of the week when they learn of the disappearing hat people. And we all know Odo loves a good mystery (especially when it involves finding people); and he also makes a new friend in a little girl who wonders about Odo's parents. Back on the station, some smaller stories are happening. Kira hooks up with her old friend Vedek Bareil (maybe fulfilling that naked prophecy???) and loses her focus on the scheming Quark. And Sisko starts Jake on an apprenticeship with Miles where we learn of Jake's ambivalence toward a career in Starfleet.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 15: Paradise. In this episode Sisko and Miles are on an away mission together and end up trapped on a planet where technology doesn't work. We do a lot of over analysis of this episode, especially focusing on leadership (good and bad). While we've had several recent episodes where there just wasn't much to talk about, this one finally breaks that mold! Gail Strickland guest stars as Alixus (and she is GOOD).

Sisko and Miles beam down to a planet hampered by a rogue duonetic field. No technology works, including comms back to the runabout. We find a small group of humans who crash-landed here 10 years earlier and gave up on technology and established a new community. Is this what everyone wants or are they simply following the will of their strong-willed leader Alixus? Sisko gets into a battle of wills with the cult leader as he puts his life on the line to prove a point. Will Kira and Dax rescue them in time?

Oh and be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end for a meowy outtake.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 14: Whispers. In this episode Miles returns from an away mission to find that everyone is acting a bit squirrely. He can't get a straight answer from anyone about what's going on and even Molly is behaving strangely. Since Odo is away, he starts listening around corners and doing his own investigating!

This is a flashback episode which starts with Miles recording a personal log in a runabout as he escapes DS9. Then he flashes back to everyone acting strangely, especially his wife and daughter! But he's also getting funny reactions from Sisko, Kira and some new Starfleet NPC. Additionally there is a lot of whispering going on around him and no one seems to give him a straight answer. So Miles sets out to figure out what happened on the station while he was away.

Miles keeps it together for quite while, but when both Odo (who newly arrives at the station halfway through the episode) and Jake begin to react to him differently, he panics. Has it gotten everyone? Is this a major plot that has infected all of Starfleet? Well it's nothing that a lot of double-sweet coffee and a sneaky escape can't fix.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 13: Armageddon Game. In this episode we have some Julian/Miles angst, a deadly bio-weapon and some shockingly crazy hair. No seriously, LOOK AT THE HAIR.

Julian and Miles are on a mission to help the T'Lani and the Kelleruns destroy their stockpile of deadly biomechanical gene disruptor weapons (called Harvestors). Something goes very wrong just as they destroy the last of the weapons when armed thugs break into the lab and kill everyone (except our heroes, of course). Back on DS9, everyone believes Miles and Julian are dead except for one person who finds it hard to believe that Miles was drinking coffee in the afternoon. And that's all it takes for Sisko and Dax to start an investigation of their own. Meanwhile, Julian is just trying to keep Miles alive long enough to make it home.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 12: The Alternate. In this episode the Bajoran scientist who studied Odo arrives at the station and everyone keeps calling him Odo's dad. Everyone except Odo, that is! Dr. Mora is played by guest star James Sloyan who has played other characters in the Star Trek universe!

While everyone is annoying Odo by calling Dr. Mora his dad, there is a mystery to be solved. Odo, Dr. Mora and Dax bring a life form aboard that seems to be somewhat related to Odo. When that life form escapes from the lab and mysterious things start happening around the station, Odo is on the hunt for a monster. But oh snap, the monster just may be Odo himself.
