Rebinge It

Welcome to S1E15 If Wishes Were Horses. This is a peculiar episode where imaginations are running wild and also coming to life. Miles has to put up with Rumpelstiltskin (yep, you read that right) and Julian has to put up with a clingy Jadzia (you kind of asked for it, Julian).

While Odo is dealing with a blizzard and emus running wild on the Promenade, the rest of the crew is dealing with imaginary characters seemingly taking physical form. Julian gets an important lesson in being humiliated at work by someone not letting him just do his job (hello karma) and Miles is being shadowed by a scary dude from a story he read to his daughter Molly. Oh yeah and for the 100th time (approximately) this season, the station is nearly completely destroyed and we still don't have an evacuation plan in place. Let's do some drills people! This is one wacky episode.

No B-story this week. Jake makes a couple of appearances, but he and Nog aren't up to their usual antics. Instead we get an imaginary baseball player and two Jadzias (which weirdly is not better than just having one).

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.

Welcome to S1E14 Progress. This episode is a beautifully nuanced story of Major Kira's struggle between her past, her present and the future of Bajor. We get another high powered guest star in Brian Kieth. And because we love a good B-story, Jake and Nog are up to some shenanigans back on the station.

Brian Keith plays a Bajoran deeply entrenched in his quiet life on a Bajoran moon. The trouble is, he's in the way of Progress. The Bajoran provisional government (drink??) is tapping the moon's core for energy resources and it needs to relocate everyone living there. Kira struggles with recognizing this as helping Bajor and not wanting to support forced relocation of anyone who survived a labor camp.

Meanwhile, back on the station, Jake and Nog are wheeling and dealing. They've come into some Cardassian yamok sauce that they (well mostly Nog) intend to turn into latinum. Shenanigans follow.

Welcome to S1E13 The Storyteller. Julian and Miles head to Bajor on their first away mission together and it pretty much goes as you might expect. There is a lot of eye rolling involved (from Miles, of course). Meanwhile back on DS9, Jake and Nog are busy chasing after a girl involved in some serious business.

In this episode, Miles tries to get out of a mission with Dr. Bashir. Unfortunately for him, his plan does not work and their inability to work together nearly leads to the destruction of a village. On the other hand, he is offered some free food and a couple of young girls for his troubles. No, I did not make that up!

Back on the station, Sisko is trying to negotiate peace between two rival Bajoran factions. He and Kira are stunned to find one of the leaders is a teenage girl and while they struggle to make progress with her, Jake and Nog compete for her attention.

Welcome to S1E12 where Kai Opaka arrives! The Kai guilts Sisko into taking her on a ride through the wormhole and no one is quite expecting what they find on the other side! Battle Lines! Spoiler alert, we really liked this episode and we dig deep into the development of Major Kira here. Please join us for this fun ride!

Kai Opaka arrives at DS9 unannounced. She gets her promised tour of the station before getting a ride through the wormhole. She's muttering something about a prophecy, but nobody quite knows what she means (and for some reason, nobody asks!). When the shuttle is shot down by a satellite over a moon, our crew is introduced to some very unfriendly folks who are stuck in an endless and bloody war.

This episode gives more depth to Kira and also shows us more of the elusive Kai Opaka. There is some beautiful acting here, but also some weak plot points (again)! We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast as much as we enjoyed making it. Battle Lines is a good one!

Episode 11 of season 1 is entitled Vortex. Quark is up to no good (is he ever not??) when one of his scams leads to the death of a Miradorn twin. And the Miradorns are not exactly friendly folk. Uh oh...

Quark strikes an underhanded deal with a shady character named Croden from the Gamma Quadrant. When that deal goes south, half of a twinned Miradorn pair ends up dead on the floor and the other half has sworn revenge. While Sisko tries to figure out how to get Croden back to his home planet, Croden hatches a scheme of his own. He starts talking to Odo about a settlement of changelings like Odo in a nearby vortex. Odo doubts the story, but Croden has a souvenir from the vortex that gives some credence to his story.

This episode has some shape shifting, some difference shaming, some bad costumes, some bad plot holes and some truly unforgivable wigs. But in the end, we get some important Odo character development. Is Kim warming up to this show!?

It's episode 10 and time for The Nagus! Haven't had enough Ferengi? Well, you've come to the right place as a whole swarm of them arrive at Deep Space Nine. Swarm? Gaggle? Herd? Murder? At any rate, a bunch of them turn up and Dax wonders if they're here for Quark's birthday! Nope...they're here to see The Nagus.

The Nagus is a very old Ferengi played by Wallace Shawn of Princess Bride fame. While it's tough to see him under all that Ferengi makeup, as soon as he speaks, it all becomes clear. What's the first thing the Nagus does when he arrives? He drops dead! What is Quark to do now? Well...take over for him, that's what! At the same time that this is going on, Jake, the sweetest kid on the planet, is having some ups and downs with his best friend Nog. What is up with these two? Why are they having secret meetings after midnight? Tune in and find out!

We've made it to the infamous Move Along Home episode of season 1! Not a terribly popular and historically low-rated episode involving the Wadi from the Gamma Quadrant arriving to play some games. And when they play a game, they REALLY play a game.

In this episode, our crew makes official first contact with a new race. The Wadi have colorful outfits and some serious mullets and they are here to play, for reals. They hang out in Quark's for awhile, but when they catch Quark cheating, they open up a game of their own. And then Kira, Sisko, Dax and Bashir all disappear. While Odo is on the hunt for our missing officers, Quark is literally gambling with their lives. Or is he...? Just drink the champagne, you'll be fine.

Alamaraine! This is a weird episode, but never fear, James has an over-analysis of why you should love it.

In the 8th episode of season 1, Bashir and Kira rescue a Kobliad security officer from a burning ship. They bring her back to DS9, but unknowingly also bring back another invisible passenger named Vantika! Either he's a ghost or he's stowed away inside of somebody's brain...who could it be?

Well, we know the passenger is Vantika, but we don't know how he made his way to DS9. Our trusty crew isn't even sure it's really him because his body is in the morgue! But Ty Kajada, the Kobliad security officer who has been chasing Vantika for 20 years knows it's him. And her willingness to prove her point lands her in a medically induced coma.

Julian's massive ego is on display from the start as he tells Kira how impressive he is. She wants to bring him down a peg or two, but ultimately Sisko gets to shoot him, so maybe that will help. We also meet a new security officer from Starfleet named Frowny-Face Primmin. There's discussions of Julian's ego, a golden brain, Odo's fragile psyche, leadership and some highly questionable over-acting.

DS9's seventh episode, entitled Dax, gives us a little insight into Trill life. Something from Curzon Dax's past comes back to haunt Jadzia when someone arrives at the station to hold her accountable for some major crimes. The visitor arrests Jadzia and tries to steal her away quietly, but our trusty crew catches them in the act and Jadzia must endure a formal Bajoran hearing to determine if she'll have to stand trial for Curzon's past.

When Ilon Tandro (also known as Phoebe's father-in-law) turns up with an extradition order, Jadzia suddenly clams up. This dude is throwing around claims of murder and wants Jadzia to pay for the crimes committed by Curzon Dax against Ilon's father. Sisko knows none of it is true. Odo is pretty sure it's all true. And Jadzia isn't saying anything. Odo heads off to Klaestron to do a little investigating and he finds the dead guy's widow...played by none other than the amazing Fionnula Flanagan!

Listen in to hear us discuss some more creeping by Julian, living with lifetimes of regret, talking through a curio cabinet, Data's mom and oh yeah, singing poo. (Not a typo.)

Episode six of season 1 of DS9, entitled Q-Less, brings in some classic TNG characters. Q and Vash visit the station and pretty much everything goes badly. Quark and Vash form a skeezy team to auction off some Gamma Quadrant artifacts to the dumbest rich people Quark knows. Meanwhile the station is getting slowly sucked to its doom into the nearby wormhole. Is Q to blame?

Vash arrives at DS9 with a very large sack of precious artifacts from the other side of the wormhole. The team is less interested in her baubles than in how she even got over there, but she's not talking. Bashir and Quark are up to their usual tricks with the new visitor. Sisko is less concerned about Vash than he is about the sudden appearance of Q. What does he want? Is he responsible for the weird power drains happening around the station? Odo is pretty sure everyone is up to something (they are) and Q and Sisko have an epic boxing match. This is a weird episode (well Q is involved, so that's expected).
