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.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 11: Rivals. In this episode someone new is hanging out on the station and as usual, we don't think to blame him immediately for a new problem we have. Guest star Chris Sarandon plays Martus Mazur as a slightly smarmy El-Aurian who likes to charm little old ladies out of their money. But luck isn't always on his side.

We have two pairs of rivals in this episode. First there is Quark trying to stop Martus from taking his business when the visitor builds a very popular casino on the Promenade. Then we have Julian and Miles competing for worst racquetball outfit. And it's a toss up!

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 10: Sanctuary. In this episode we beam some flaky skinned people into Ops without asking ourselves whether or not we should beam flaky skinned people into Ops! Why do we do that? Fortunately, they don't bring a new virus to the station, but they do bring a little chaos as the universal translator struggles with their language. But never fear, we eventually get that working and we learn that our visitors are not alone!

The flaky skinned folks turn out to be Skrreans in search of a new home. They've come from the other side of "the eye" in search of a mythical place called Kentanna. The Skrreans were enslaved for centuries until the Dominion conquered their enslavers. In this dramatic story of refugees, Kira finds herself struggling to help everyone and still do her job.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 9: Second Sight. In this episode Sisko is seeing double. He keeps bumping into a mysterious woman on the promenade to whom he feels very drawn. The mystery deepens when she doesn't reveal any information about herself and she keeps disappearing. Let's get Odo to help!

A terraforming scientist played by Richard Kiley arrives at the station with his gigantic ego and young wife played by Salli Richardson-Whitfield. The mystery of the episode unravels as Sisko realizes the scientist's wife is a doppelganger for a women he keeps running into on the promenade....yet the two women are somehow unaware of each other. Or are they!?

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 8: Necessary Evil. In this episode we appear to flashback to a time when DS9 was part of a Dickens play...no not quite that far...but the station is under Cardassian rule and it's all pretty grim. Odo meets Dukat, Kira and even Quark for the very first time as Dukat strong-arms him into investigating the murder of a Bajoran man.

Quark gets himself into some trouble early on and ends up clinging to life in the infirmary. Investigating this attack sends Odo back in time to the first crime he investigated on the station -- a much darker and (apparently) bluer time when little orphan children sat on the promenade eating gruel. Well, sort of. We flash backwards and forwards quite a bit as Odo manages to solve the new crime and the very old one that eluded him 5 years ago.

Hello Star Trek fans! We have arrived at episode 7: Rules of Acquisition. There's a whole lot of Ferengi going on in this one. Maybe a little bit too much? But we also have Tongo, The X-Files and lobe augmentation to discuss. Thank goodness for some humor here and there because otherwise this episode hits some very low points. Just going to issue a warning here folks....we are pretty hard on the blatant sexism in this episode. You've been warned! (I'd like to apologize for how many times I sigh on this recording. -kv)

In this episode, we meet Pel, a Ferengi with a secret who is well-versed in the Rules of Acquisition. Pel is a new waiter at Quark's but Rom is not impressed. We also get more of the Nagus from season 1 as played by Wallace Shawn and we are introduced to a new race from the Gamma Quadrant called the Dosi. The Dosi are into red face paint and being generally scary. There are some important developments in this episode, but also just some bad bad bad writing. Tune in for our take on rules of Acquisition.

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 6: Melora! Ensign Melora (Daphne Ashbrook) from a low-gravity planet arrives on the station and she needs some special accommodations to get around. Bashir takes an extreme interest in her and wants to help increase her mobility and he also wants to date her (because he's Bashir). Meanwhile, Crazy Joe Davola is after Quark for some shady dealings from their past.

In this episode, Ensign Melora is a little touchy about being treated differently or as a medical problem. We talk about the disappointing stereotypes at play here, especially in the beginning of the episode. We also wonder why in the accommodations they made to improve accessibility, they failed to turn on the lights in the hallway outside of her quarters (I mean check the image below)! And finally, we cover the B-story of a dude out to kill Quark...though really he doesn't try that hard.
